{ Rockford, IL Event Photographer } Music is an outburst of the soul.

“Music is an outburst of the soul.”

- Frederick Delius

On Saturday evening, I had the pleasure of photographing the Rockford Symphony Orchestra's fundraiser event, the Black Magic Ball. An evening at Forest Hills Country Club full of music, food, laughter and raising money for the RSO so that future generations can continue to appreciate the beautiful music that fills the Coronado performance after performance.

Without further ramblings, I'll let the images speak for themselves.

Thank you again to Gayle for this wonderful opportunity!























Miss Emily Bear with her grandmother


Miss Bear absolutely stunned the room with her performance before dinner.











A purse tree is always a GREAT idea. Really.


After dinner, the Moonlight Jazz Orchestra packed the dance floor in 30 seconds flat!















The dancing continued into the night and I was so happy to have been able to capture such an event. The energy in the room was truly amazing which lead to an extremely successful event.
