Jeff Minarik

Hi, I’m Jeff - a graduate of the University of Illinois-Chicago with a degree in Graphic Design and an eye for all things creative. I studied photography under professors Melanie Schiff and Craig Doty and have been actively photographing for the past 17 years. I was that weird kid in high school taking pictures of the sky on a digital camera with a memory card big enough for 16 photos. I’m a husband and father of 2 (boy and girl) and If I’m not with my family, I’m most likely washing my car or enjoying a day on the golf course. I’m a lover of McDonalds coke and the show Aerial America + I appreciate a good playlist and enjoy all aspects of art. I’ve learned to let the little things slide and enjoy every moment on this beautiful planet we call home. If you don’t like to laugh, I don’t want to be friends - sorry! When I’m behind the lens there’s nothing more rewarding than capturing a special moment for someone. Hopefully I can be that guy for you - let’s chat soon!
