Kally is another Lincoln, Nebraska native, representin’ in NYC. She’s been working as an actress in New York City for the past 5 years, and I haven’t seen her in about that amount of time, so it was really fun to catch up. But it was even more fun to reminisce about the good old days of performing in community theatre in Lincoln. We were in a children’s theatre production of Bugsy Malone when we were teenagers, (a highlight of our careers, right Kally?) I played Tallulah, and Kally played Lena. Since ours was the first production ever done in the United States, the licensing company filmed it, to give as a reference to other companies producing the show. Yep, our awkward teenage performances were caught on tape and preserved for all time. Lucky us! Thankfully, this was before the days of YouTube…

I met up with the gorgeous Reba last week in NYC to shoot some new headshots. Reba is originally from Nebraska and moved to New York a couple of months ago, so it was fun to chat about our shared experiences of moving from the Midwest to the big city!

Thanks for choosing me as your headshot photographer, Reba! I had a blast working with you!
