Behind the Lens: Photographing the Emerald Evening Gala in Midland, MI

Behind the Lens

Photographing the Emerald Evening Gala event was such an honor for me. Showing the community how wonderful St. Brigid Catholic School is and the wonderful Catholic Church right next door, St Brigid Catholic Church.

Capturing the smiles, the hugs, the proud moments, and the pure joy throughout the night reminded me why I love what I do. These aren’t just photos they’re memories of a community coming together for something bigger than themselves.

From candid laughter to heartfelt connections, every image tells a story of kindness, support, and celebration.

To Everyone Who Made This Night Special

To the committee, the volunteers, the donors, and every single person who showed up, you made this night unforgettable. There are so many wonderful volunteers who helped with all parts of the gala; these are just a few of the many who helped make the night magical. Your generosity, your presence, and your support are what keep this beautiful school and community thriving. And I am so grateful I got to be a small part of it.

Looking Ahead

I already can’t wait for next year’s Emerald Evening. Bigger moments, more memories, and even more magic to capture. Because events like this deserve to be captured in the most meaningful way possible.
