I am fortunate to be a part of a great organization whose mission is to give all children and teens access to the arts. With the shut down, they have managed to still offer classes and run their programs so the students can still participate in dance, music, and theater.

One of those students, is Gwen. I had the joy of meeting her for the first time when she performed in one of the theater productions in Plainfield. She works so hard, studies her craft with diligence, and performs like it is the last time she will be doing it. She is incredibly talented, a very incredible high schooler, and I am very honored to know her.

Gwen needed a few images for several auditions she has scheduled, so we went to the beautiful St. James Farm in Warrenville to use their brick horse stables as a backdrop. Below is just a small snippet of the many images she received! She is a natural!
