Smooth Jazz Magazine
First, I would like to thank Dawn R. Stephens for the professionalism while representing Smooth Jazz Magazine at the Chicago Theater recently at the Dave Koz Christmas Tour 2014. There is always a little apprehension when using a photographer for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Dawn followed the venue guidelines while on the assignment as well as our request for a quick turnaround on supplying us the hundreds of quality images to choose from.
Successfully, Dawn captured the passion of the event to give our readers the feel of being at the concert through her photographs. So much so, that I was compelled to use one of the images as our annual year ending season’s greeting post card that we posted on all of our social media accounts and website. I appreciate Dawn’s knowledge of her camera and equipment while being prepared in having optional equipment on hand, but most importantly I appreciated her integrity in being on time, personable, professional and following through with her word in every aspect of our initial conversation and agreement terms. The Chicago Theatre representative spoke very highly of her.
I look forward to working with her again and very soon in the New Year.
