Rick and Jackson

I drive on this road near my house almost everyday and always see great backdrops for a photo shoot. On this particular afternoon, the sky was so blue and perfect for photos of Rick and Jackson.

Tom and Ann

My dad and stepmom are getting ready to launch a website for their new business and asked me to take some photos of them in Loose Park.

Holly

It was 5:30pm on a beautiful Saturday evening in October, and Holly says to me, "Let's do something fun". I suggested a photo shoot, and she happily agreed! I've always liked this road near our house and decided to stop on the way to our "planned" location.

Behind the Scenes of a Quixotic Photo Shoot

Quixotic Fusion is a Kansas City based performance ensemble that combines live music, aerial artistry, modern dance, innovative lighting and set design, and cutting edge video projections to create a multi-sensory performance unlike any other. Quixotic's modern cirque performances leave you amazed and with a new level of respect for what artists of different disciplines can create when their forces combine.

Quixotic Fusion is currently preparing for their upcoming summer show, Paix Reveuse, which will run June 17-19 at the Madrid Theatre. Tickets can be purchased by clicking here! Below are some "behind the scenes" photos I took during a recent Quixotic photo shoot for Paix Reveuse, featuring Q dancers Laura Jones, Angie Sansone, and Megan Stockman.

Saturday night I attended the EP release party for "Goodbye Summer", the debut EP from a friend of mine and KC musician, Vi Tran. We were treated to a live show featuring Vi Tran and the EP Ensemble: Giuliano Mingucci, William Brent Wright, Katie Gilchrist, Sean Hogge. It was a marvelous time filled with happy-tune-listening!

Jackson

I think it's quite fitting that the first picture I post with my fancy new camera is of Jackson. This was literally one of the very first pictures I took with it!

My newest camera

Here it is! I just purchased my first digital SLR camera. Welcome to a whole new world of photography!

The New Theatre Restaurant

My father and I have been going to the New Theatre Restaurant since it first opened, 17 years ago. I was 11 years old when we first received a flier in the mail promoting the opening season and listing the shows. Back then, I was just starting to get into musicals, especially ones that had a lot of dancing in them. I remember asking my dad if he would take me to the musical being performed that opening season, and much to my surprise, he responded by saying, “Well why don’t we just get season tickets?” For 17 years now, going to the New Theatre Restaurant and seeing every show has been “our thing”. I snapped a photo last night from our table before the show began. We saw an entertaining little comedy called "Run For Your Wife", starring Garrett Morris (from Saturday Night Live!). It was another wonderful evening at the NTR : )
