Karen McKinnon
Groove 2013 Photos  
 

For the last four years Karen McKinnon, a Pantuso mom (and dancer herself this year,) from McKinnon Photography, has documented the artistry, heart and skill presented by our dancers  at our annual Groove Recital. Karen does it while wearing her "mom hat" and tries her best to capture as much as she can and as many of the kids as possible.  

 

Your children put so much work into their growth as a dancer and their performance and these photos have been a beautiful and special way to capture this time in their life. If you are new to Pantuso, and are not famiilar with Karen's recital photography work you can see it gracing the walls of the studio. 

 

Karen has generously photographed these photos complimentary. Much hard work goes into this, the evenings photographing, the editing and then sending out the photos to all the parents. It's a big job. 

 

This year, Karen has decided that she has to cover some of her cost and time for doing this and the photos will have a very minimal price attached to this. She will also, this year, accommodate the many requests she receives for prints as well as the digital files that she has been providing. 

 

Digital files will be $8 for one, 3 for $20,  5 for $30 and 10 for $40. 

 

She also will be providing prints at the reasonable price of $20 per 8x10. 

 

We are thrilled that Karen is continuing to provide this service to Pantuso, and hope that you will support her and enjoy the photos she creates. For more info on Karen's work please visit:  http://mckinnonphotography.com/

Groove 2013 Picture Day
Saturday, April 27, 12:30-4:00
N.I. College Fine Arts Building 
 
Please click on the following link for the Picture Day Schedule: Pantuso Picture Day Schedule

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your allotted time slot and find your group. Full hair, costume and make-up is required. Photos must be pre-ordered and pre-paid. Sign-up sheets and fee collection ($5 cash per photo) will be in the Studio Lobby from April 15-April 26th. Questions? Contact Kelly at mccreakelly@yahoo.ca or speak to your instructor.

Wondering what the difference between Picture Day and Karen Mckinnon photos are?

Picture Day are class photos of each class (in costume) which we offer at cost to our students (similar to class pictures you would get at school).

Karen's photos are shots of the performance and the performers in action. There is no guarantee that each student will be photographed, but Karen does take an amazing variety. This is an extra service that Karen provides on her own accord and we are very grateful to have.
