Burst of Color

Burst of Color captures the magic of spring on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, the moment when the city shakes off winter and comes alive in a riot of color.

Every April, tulips bloom along the Magnificent Mile, and for a few brief weeks, the contrast between vibrant reds, yellows, and pinks against Chicago's iconic architecture creates something truly special. This shot looks north on Michigan Avenue, with the tulips glowing in early morning light and the city rising behind them.

I waited weeks for this shot, checking weather forecasts daily, returning to the same spot again and again until the light, the blooms, and the sky all aligned. That patience is what I bring to every piece: a willingness to wait for the perfect moment.

Perfect for:
• Living rooms and dining spaces that need a pop of color
• Offices and workspaces that want to celebrate Chicago
• Anyone who loves spring, flowers, or the energy of the city
