I have a love for music! I always have. My dad is an amazing jazz pianist so I’ve grown up around music, musicians and performers my whole life. I love to mix it up a bit and photograph concerts every now and then. I love capturing the excitement & thrill of performance art. Doug Beech has been hosting the Annual Elmhurst College Jazz Festival for a long time now and he asked me this year to come and take some images of the event. He is a friend of my father and they have worked together at Elmhurst College teaching jazz to some amazing students. I would love to photograph this event every year! The music was truly amazing! These students are so unbelievably talented! I encourage anyone to attend this annual festival!
