{Salina Senior Portraits} Xan, Class of 2016

I met Miss Xan when photographing at the Salina Community Theatre. She is one talented young lady! We met up in central Salina for Xan's senior portraits. Xan brought a ton of energy and life to her session, which is always fun.

I love it when seniors have a fun location request for their senior portraits. Xan wanted to use a small, independent used bookstore. Of course, being the literary geek I am, I jumped at the chance for the unique location for senior portraits! I love how whimsical and fun they turned out!

Xan is a theatre girl through and through. She was very excited to take some of her portraits in the dressing room, with the lights & mirrors.

I love how diverse this session was. Some photos are innocent, others like this have a little sass in them ... capturing the multiple sides of a senior during their portrait session is something I enjoy so much!

Balancing on this chair only LOOKS easy. This girl, as a dancer, rocked it.

Last photo to share: A fun on-stage pic. Xan, thanks for such a fun time during your senior portrait session!!!!

{Salina Community Theatre} West Side Story

The Salina Community Theatre has asked me to photograph a few of their plays. It's been enjoyable! :) Plus, who wouldn't love to see West Side Story before it opens?

Honestly, when I moved to Salina, I was a little skeptical about the whole "community theater" thing ... but I swear, every time I see a show there, I'm completely floored. The acting is superb, the lighting and set designs are amazing ... and I'm blown away every show I see.

This is the last weekend for West Side Story ... if you've not seen it, cruise over to their website (HERE!) for more info.

This last one is quite possibly my fave from the entire show. :)

{Mini Session} Pirates & Scallywags!

AHOY! It's Pirate time around here! Over Spring Break, I headed over to the Salina Community Theatre to take pictures for a quick Mini Session of their Pirate class. :) A "Mini Session" is a short session where everyone has a few minutes with the prop (in our case, a "raft") to grab a few quick photos.

When I learned that their theme was "Pirates & Scallywags" I insisted the session would be tons of fun. :) I've been wanting to do a Pirate Mini Session for awhile now. Because the International Talk Like a Pirate Day is my most favorite holiday. Ever. :) Even though it was 6 months early, we still had fun! :)
