“The most important part of a picture to me is the moment. Even in posed situations, I’m always looking for the real moments that pop up. I want every picture to tell a story and capture the true essence of the subject.

I feel truly fortunate to be able to support my family doing something I love.”

Chris grew up in Metamora, Illinois then lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Kalamazoo, Michigan before returning to Central Illinois in 2017. Today, he resides in Washington, Illinois (just minutes outside of Peoria) with his wife and five children.
