Well, that was a hoot!

I had such an amazing, fun and inspiring evening photographing all of the wonderful people attending the 2025 Gigi's Playhouse Gala. I laughed and cried then laughed even more as the evening progressed through speakers, dinner and more dancing than a caffeinated Carlton Banks at a New Year's Eve Tom Jones concert when It's Not Unusual starts to play.

Seriously though, Gigi's Playhouse is such an amazing place. GiGi's Playhouse is an organization focused on changing the way the world views Down syndrome. They provide free educational, therapeutic, and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. With a mission to promote acceptance and inclusion, GiGi’s Playhouse creates a supportive community where everyone can thrive. Their promise is a lifelong commitment to families, helping them navigate challenges and celebrate successes together. It's all about hope, empowerment, and making sure everyone feels embraced!

Also worth mentioning: the team from Fundraising Auction Team, LLC ran the live auction and brought a ton of energy to the room. They had everyone laughing, bidding, and fully in it. It added a lot to the vibe of the night.
