Hi! I’m Hadley

I’m an artist living in the heart of Old Town, Chicago. Though I’ve studied and dabbled in many different art forms in my years, from painting to metal working to ceramics, photography has been a constant love and passion of mine. I was horrified to do the math that I have been working professionally as a photographer now for over a decade! I learned photography as a kid and received my first professional camera in high school, and later went on to graduate Cum Laude from the University of Miami with a dual degree in Visual Journalism and Studio Art. I have traveled to and worked on four different continents and photographed all sorts of people and stories over the years. Many twists and turns led me to Chicago where I founded Snapdragon Photography. My love for creating meaningful photographic art allows me to collaborate and create unique, documentary style portraits for each client.
