GET TO KNOW ME
Photographing the midwest and beyond, trust and connection are at the center of my work. Let's skip right to the real stuff— no cringy posing or forced moments. It's all about those things that make your heart thump in your chest and your soul feel free. Photography is so much more to me than simply taking a picture. I'm here to tell your story in a way that feels true to you. Let's capture whatever is most important in your life. Big or small, it all deserves being documented. That's where I come in.

I would recommend Chase to anyone in search of a photographer! Chase took my graduation photos, and I LOVED how they came out. He did such a great job at capturing an important moment in my life. He made notes of my requests and did a fantastic job in terms of planning and executing those requests. Chase is a wonderful person to work with, and I’m thankful he took the time to make me feel comfortable during the shoot. This made a huge difference since getting photos taken of me is definitely something out of my comfort zone! I’m also super happy I chose Chase as my photographer because I really liked that he embraces the natural and warm hues within his work. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you choose Chase!
