A Night of Inspiration: Celebrating Girls in STEM at HYPE Night 2024


I recently had the incredible opportunity to photograph HYPE Night 2024 for Get Hype, a nonprofit that’s changing lives by empowering girls of color in Metro Atlanta to pursue careers in STEM. As I arrived at HYPE Night on October 9th, I was immediately energized by the passion and warmth of the crowd. This event was more than a celebration; it was a powerful testament to the positive impact of Get Hype’s mission. I’m so glad I was there to capture it.

Throughout the night, I photographed the proud smiles of scholarship recipients, the excitement of the Team Scholars competition, and the overall enthusiasm as 200 guests came together in support of Get Hype. These images are more than just photos—they’re memories of an unforgettable night where accomplishments and future dreams were celebrated.

Highlights of HYPE Night 2024

Some of my favorite moments to capture included:

  • Scholarship Awards – Six bright, ambitious young women were awarded the HYPE Future of Tech Scholarship, totaling $15,000, thanks to Verizon and Coca-Cola Women in STEM. These scholarship awards will help these future leaders pursue their education and fulfill their dreams in the tech industry.
  • Laptop Donations – With support from Compudot, 10 students received laptops to support their studies and future STEM endeavors. Photographing their reactions as they received these tools was priceless.
  • Fundraising Success – Get Hype raised over $57,000 at HYPE Night! This funding will go toward furthering their mission of empowering young girls of color in STEM, offering them education, mentorship, and opportunities.
  • Team Scholars Victory – The energy during the Team Scholars competition was electric, and Team Scholars secured their third HYPE Night win! The enthusiasm in the room as they celebrated their victory was contagious.

HYPE Night 2024 was one of those events where the energy and passion truly shone through in every photograph. I’m grateful to have been part of it and look forward to working with more nonprofits to help them share their impact through powerful event photography.
