Louder Than a Bomb

This past week may have been my favorite event of the Omaha Performing Arts Season. I had the pleasure of photographing some amazingly talented high school students performing their slam poetry. This teenagers were amazing, and I had no idea a competition like this even existed! 

Omaha Performing Arts: Band

A few times a month I have the pleasure of taking an evening and working at Omaha Performing Arts at one of their amazing venues here in Omaha. This week it was working at the Holland photographing the high school band showcase! These highschoolers really impressed me with their love of music, performance skills and all around great personalities! I love how many amazing opportunities young people have to work with OPA in the community! 

Ballet

One of my favorite gigs as a photographer is working for Omaha Performing Arts! That means I'm hired to do anything from photographing performing artists (like Kristin Chenoweth), to their weekly Jazz on the Green performances in the summer, to awesome events like classes with performers! This was one of those classes were performers from the Harlem Ballet came to teach classes the week of their performance. 

Truth, this was my first time photographing ballet, and I had a very close call almost being kicked in the head by a dancer! 

Holland 10th Anniversary

I had the absolute pleasure this weekend of working another wonderful show with Omaha Performing Arts! These guys are fantastic...and I met one of my broadway idols...Kristin Chenoweth 

Needless to say...she was fantastic as were the other performers invited to celebrate Holland's 10th Anniversary! Loved being part of such an amazing celebration!
