Vicki and her husband Jed started V Gallery in the cramped basement of their house at the age of 23. With a focus on artistic portraiture, the business evolved into a 4,000 sq. foot studio with 8 employees in just 3 years. Vicki attributes a large portion of her success to the high profile image she has created for her portrait gallery. Vicki has spoken to photographers both nationally and internationally, including South Korea. She has been recognized by Kodak as one of the up and coming photographers in the industry. In 2004, she won the Illinois High School Seniors’ Choice Award. In 2005, Vicki won the Highest Scoring Print at the Orvieto Fotographia event in Italy as well as the Grand Prize in the portrait category at WPPI.
