Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved being creative. Whether it was watching Mr. Dressup on TV and learning how to create amazing works of art out of egg cartons and pipe cleaners, or dressing up in my Mom's clothes and putting putting on musicals for anyone who I could convince to watch me. Needless to say, being an only child, I developed an active imagination very early on.

As I grew up, my love of visual and performance art grew and I sometimes felt torn between them. I spent my high school years running back and forth between the art room and the theatre for after school rehearsals. There was a time when I thought I would become an actor and spend the rest of my life in the theatre working on shows. Lucky for you, my career went in another direction and my passion for photography won above everything else!

I still love the theatre. I love the suspension of disbelief. I love the creative process of an actor. I love late night rehearsals. I love working with other amazing people who share the same passion for theatre. To this day some of my very best friends are the people that I met in the theatre.
Meet Aaron Conrad.
My friend since high school, fellow cast member in numerous shows, and a professional actor here in Calgary, Alberta.
