{Special Olympics Illinois} :: Chicago Event Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph Special Olympics Illinois - Area 5 - Spring Games in Evanston this Sunday. It kind of fell into my lap, and I am so thankful that it did! It was amazing to see the commitment of the volunteers, the heart of the athletes competing, and the strong support of the families there to cheer them on! What a wonderful experience :)

Thank you for inviting me to document the celebrations of the day!

{Chicago Cares Sneak Peak}

I was so very excited to photograph my second event for the organization Chicago Cares. This one was even more fun than the first! I was hired to photograph various classes at Saturday morning academy on Chicago's West Side. The kids learned about "World Food & Culture" with a Kwanza celebration, learned writing skills in "Write it Out", and also had art projects as well as computer skills. It was quite a work out running up and down stairs between classes :) And, how cool was it that I ran into my downstairs neighbor who was a volunteer for this event - what a nice surprise!
