New Jersey: Headshots: Kristen

For as much as I love shooting, I must say that my absolute favorite part of my work these days is creating my blog entries. I become so excited at my sessions and can not wait to get home, upload the images and share them! Yesterday was such an incredible 12 hour day with Kristen in Long Branch and all over Asbury Park, NJ that I truly spent the entire 90 min train ride writing this blog entry in my head...and falling asleep because I was exhausted. No matter which way I write this, it is not to possible express the amazingness that was my day with Kristen on a mere web page. So I decided to keep the actual day to myself and just talk about how awesome Kristen is! Here goes: A graduate of the prestigious Baldwin-Wallace Musical Theater Program, over the last 11 years Kristen has made an incredible name for herself as a professional singer. She has traveled the world on 5 different cruise lines, they continue to call her to come back, performed in countless shows both in and out of NYC and even had a 7 month stint as a showgirl in Vegas for the longest running Burlesque show in town...Jubilee. ( I know what your next question is and the answer is "NO" not that type of showgirl.)  Since moving home to NJ she now spends her days teaching, loving her amazing scientist boyfriend, Darryl and their cat Wasabi ,who I saw play catch and it was really funny, and keeping her chops fresh by singing for pleasure. If you want to hear her fabulous soprano she will be singing in a show called "Gay and Be Glitter" with Cabaret for Life on July 30. The mission of this non-profit  is to "bring talented people together to help those in need."  If you happen to meet her and want a song...her "best 16" ends on a high "D"....so prepare to have your socks knocked off!

This one is for my Undergrad B.W. peeps who will recognize her expression right away as the consummate "Kristen smile." I think Kristen's favorite phrase to say is "I am so happy for you!" (and she means it every single time)

Looks like she can play, right?! Yeah, absolutely can not...yet. But she looks great and is going to take lessons so that she can rock out at Honey Child Music where she teaches music to Littles !

"Thanks for picking me up at the train station and sharing your home and your cat with me and for taking me to lunch and showing me where the movie Annie was filmed, and telling me all about your amazing adventures over the last 8 years."
