Jeff is Chicagoland native with his wife Faith and 2 adorable kids Amelia and Jett. After marrying his wife and living in LA , which he calls his year-long honeymoon, his love for photography began. "I am a musician at heart and that allows me to take what I hear and create something audibly beautiful. But it’s my photography that allows me to SEE something beautiful. When I'm not working I'm either writing/playing/producing music or hanging out with my family. We love going on runs and bike rides!"

“WOW, EVP did not disappoint! Karin captured the most amazing photos of all the most important moments. Planning a wedding during COVID brought a lot of changes and uncertainty, but Karin and her team were so flexible, made us feel comfortable, and took the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure our day was perfect.”
- Elizabeth W.
Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and the entire EV team. They took the time to know and understand Bill and I as a couple, and what makes us tick. They were then able to translate that into our photos which not only represented our day, but who we are. Thank you for capturing all our special moments! We will cherish them forever!
- Kate B.
"Karin is an absolute dream! From our initial meeting to our album design session, we felt supported and heard by EVP. She made sure to get to know us on a deeper level and put our needs for our wedding before everything else. And when we had to reschedule our big day because of COVID, Karin made the transition seamless. We’ve received nothing but the biggest compliments for our photos and that’s all thanks to EVP."
