In the heart of Chicago, where energy pulses through every corner, Criss has carved out a creative world that blends photography, storytelling, and craft cocktails into one seamless expression. With an eye for detail and a passion for authenticity, Criss captures the beauty of everyday life — from candid city streets to perfectly composed drink shots.
Her work under @lifewithcriss_photography is more than just visual — it’s emotional. Every photo tells a story, every frame carries intention. Whether she's documenting the spontaneous or staging the spectacular, Criss approaches content creation with a deep belief: content should feel like something. And in her world, that feeling is often joy, curiosity, and genuine human connection.
Alongside her photography, Criss also curates @cocktailseries_chicago, a flavorful exploration of mixology and aesthetics. Her cocktails aren’t just drinks — they’re vibrant, styled moments, often photographed in natural light and always grounded in the culture of the city she loves.
What sets Criss apart is her ability to blend vibe with vision. She doesn’t just document — she interprets. Her camera is not just a tool, but a passport into the moods, movements, and magic of modern life in Chicago. With each creation, Criss invites her audience into an experience — one rooted in emotion, framed by beauty, and told through light.
