🌇 Golden Hour Over Joliet, IL 🌆
Captured this stunning panoramic view of Joliet with my new DJI Air 3S. My first big pano with it! Couldn’t have asked for a better morning sunrise. The fall colors and sunset came together perfectly. 🍂☀️

What an incredible Saturday at the West Chicago Food Fest! I had the honor of capturing the energy, joy, and community spirit as the official photographer for the City of West Chicago Government.

From delicious eats to live music by 28 Days and Beyond the Blonde, to the amazing caricature artist, balloon creations, sand art, and so much more, this event had something for everyone. Most importantly, it was all about the people who came together to celebrate our community.

Take a look through the gallery and see if you can spot yourself, your friends, or those fun festival moments! 🎶🎈🍧
