I am still reveling in the many hours I spent in the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art at Notre Dame throughout its opening weekend in December. For three days, I photographed a myriad of events in the new building, and I witnessed many eyes and hearts being impacted by the art within.

From church services to centennial celebrations, I’ve covered a myriad of events. Throughout these experiences, I’ve identified some commonalities that are integral for making high-quality imagery during events.

A wide selection of images from the “Guys and Dolls” performance at the South Bend Civic Theatre in June.

A few images from a silent disco were a part of Notre Dame’s annual Year in Pictures photo gallery.
