afO's Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley Cast and Crew

I'm finally having time to write about this awesome cast and crew.  This play was one of my favorites that all for One has ever put on!  Part of the reason it was SO good was that the casting was spot on!  Each of these actors did a perfect job of portraying their character.  I enjoyed paying attention to those that weren't speaking at the moment just as much as those that were because each person was SO good at their physical responses to what was being said.  I hope to get my favorite pictures from this play posted soon, but I have some other client work to do first, so I hope you all can be patient with me while I get caught up.  😀

afO's Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley Promos

I had a fun time with this quick photo session for all for One's current production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley.  A very generous lady let us invade her gorgeous living room which was the perfect location for this.  I also want to point out that it's not too late to see this awesome show!  This weekend is your last chance though!  You can get information and tickets for this by going to: https://allforonefw.org/currentproduction/

Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley (November 15-17 & 22-24, 2019) a new play by Lauren Gunderson, takes us on a visit to Pemberley, Lizzie and Darcy’s estate from Pride and Prejudice. Lizzie’s sister, Jane, and her husband, Bingley, are there, as well as the much-overlooked middle sister, Mary and the flirtatious sister Lydia. In the midst of everyone’s curiosity about who Lady Catherine De Bourgh’s heir is, why Lydia is flirting though she is a married woman, and what in the world Lizzie is thinking by installing an evergreen tree in the library…Mary Bennet quietly comes into her own. This delicious comedy sparkles with wit and holiday charm. Not to be missed!

afO's Sherlock Holmes and the 1st Baker Street Irregular

This was a great play that was really well done!  I LOVED the scenery, costumes, and props!  For such a wide range in age of the actors, they all did a really good job!  I find it difficult to narrow down the pictures when editing them because I have this idea that I want the whole story to be retold through the pictures.  Obviously that is unrealistic, but nonetheless, I do tend to make sure that the final group of pictures has at least one from each scene.  This still leaves a lot of pictures which always makes it difficult to get down to a reasonable number to post here.  I think I managed to get a bit of everything without posting too many.  Anyways, enough of my ramblings, here are some of my favorite pictures from this show!

This cast did a wonderful job doing this awesome show!  I really enjoyed each character and the story so much!  I'll be posting my favorite pictures from the show soon!  😊

Emmalyn's Cake Smash

I love doing Cake Smash Sessions!  I also really enjoyed this ladybug theme!  This awesome cake was made by The Hopeful Epicurean.  This session was the final one for the Year of Growth Package and as part of the package deal, it was FREE!  I am actually running a special deal on Cake Smash Sessions.  Right now, you can get this for only $100!  This special session is for a baby's first birthday and is up to 1 hour at my studio.  The cake is included as well as a coupon for 3 free digital downloads from the private online gallery.  A $25 non-refundable deposit is due to book a session and is applied towards the session fee.

Emmalyn has been such a joy to photograph this past year!  She is so expressive, and she LOVES to clap along with songs which is absolutely adorable.  She's seriously just so sweet!  She was fairly easily bribed to eat the cake by sticking her favorite snack to it.  Once she started eating it, she quickly got herself messy and then was ready to be done.  😂

Arthur at 6 months

This sweet boy is 6 months old now!  I can't believe how quickly that went by!  He was clearly much more active for this session than he was for his newborn session.  😄  Arthur loved to smile for me as long as he could see my face.  Once the camera blocked my face, his smiles disappeared.  Hahaha!  But seriously, that blond hair and those blues eyes melt me!  He is SUCH a snuggle bug, and I may have spent more time snuggling with him that actually taking pictures.  😂
