This mom of two little boys doesn’t get out much. Well, at least, I don’t get out much at night. But when my jazz aficionado brother-in-law, Zak Koeske, told me about the Monday night jazz scene – and asked if I’d like to shoot (photos of) the musicians there, I quickly agreed… before I could take the time to get too nervous, not just about leaving sleeping children (with their dad, of course – not all alone!), but also, since I’ve never shot a live performance. And I discovered it’s really not so hard to stay up past 1am, even though I did have to be in the office at 7:30am the next day.
To all the musicians: you were fantastic, and I appreciate the opportunity to capture and share these images.
I am sorry that there are a few people pictured without names – feel free to post a comment or send me an email (info at christinamontemurrophotography.com ) and I’ll update accordingly. More here.
