Stauss Family

I debated whether or not to post this.  I think this technically falls into the "selfie" category because as those keen eyed folks may have already noticed, that's me on the end!  I took this picture using a timer with my equipment (isn't technology great!).  This is actually a tradition my family started a few years ago, and I am SO glad we've made getting a yearly picture a priority.  Each year we have added more and more kids to the family picture.  It's fascinating to me to see the differences and the similarities (my dad has always worn the same shirt 😂).  Anyways, I hope you enjoy this "peek behind the curtain" into my personal life.  😊

Last minute schedule changes are often stressful to me, so having a cancellation and filling it in with a different client could have sent me over the edge, but this went so smoothly that I had nothing to worry about.  And I got to meet this precious little guy which is always a source of abundant joy for me.  I am SO blessed by this wonderful job of capturing beautiful people!  😊

Such a precious family!  😊

afO's Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

I truly meant to post these much sooner, but here they are.  Better late than never.  😁  I really was so impressed with this play.  The story was great and the actors portrayed their parts so well.  The way they all interacting with each other was so entertaining!  It was difficult to narrow down my favorite pictures because there was always so much action to capture.  I hope you enjoy this small handful of pictures!

Ruth2 (February 21-23 & February 28-March 1, 2020) is an unusual evening in which one beloved story gets two totally different treatments. One of afO’s original scripts, The Redemption of Ruth, with an all-new cast, uses creative dramatic reading format to tell one of the Bible’s great love stories, exploring what it looks like to be folded into God’s family. In My Name is Ruth, Stephen Baldwin of 34West has crafted a post-WWII romantic comedy about a youngish war widow moving to a new city and getting a whole lot more than she bargained for.

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!
