Chip Away at Cancer Golf Outing at Cog Hill

As a Chicago corporate photographer, I get to witness a lot of great moments—but few are as meaningful and energizing as last Friday’s Chip Away at Cancer Golf Outing at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club.

This wasn’t just any event. Hosted by the Chicago Associate Board, the June 6 outing brought together a dynamic group of young professionals who’ve been making waves in fundraising since the pandemic. In 2024 alone, this incredible group raised more than $71,000 for the American Cancer Society—and they’re just getting started. The outing has become a beloved annual tradition, known for its great energy and purpose-driven fun.

As a Chicago events photographer, I had the privilege of documenting it all: the camaraderie, the competition, and the moments in between—the laughs over drinks, the cheers on the green, the arms-length raffle tickets. The event kicked off at 11 a.m., and from the first check-in to the tee-offs, everyone was relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely enjoying themselves. That’s one of my favorite things about corporate event photography—people let their guard down and focus on the experience, which makes for authentic, joy-filled images.

This event was also a bit personal for me. I grew up just a few miles from Cog Hill and took golf lessons there as a kid. Being back—this time with a camera instead of a club—was a full-circle moment. And the setting? Just as stunning as I remember.

Here’s what the organizers had to say:

“We had Hilltop Photo Co. at our golf outing for the American Cancer Society, and we were blown away. Her photos were everything we wanted and more. Not only was she responsive pre-event and got everything on the shot list that we sent her, but she truly captured the spirit of our event. She has a perfect personality for connecting with attendees and an amazing eye when it comes to photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!” Hearing that kind of feedback makes it all worth it.
