Last week I wrote a bit about my recent trip to USO NYC to film an Idina Menzel performance, interview and special meet-and-greet with local military families.
Now that these photos are on the USO blog (which you should go check out!), I can post them on here and talk a little bit about my shoot.
As many of you know, whenever I'm out on shoots for the USO, usually, my main priority is shooting video and interviews. However, I've started shooting more and more stills - partly for practice and partly for logistical reasons for publishing - and I, personally, think I'm really stepping up my photography game.
Shooting events is hard. Shooting events where there's famous people, loud music, busy children and other factors in an unfamiliar town is even harder. And that was this shoot.
The lighting was bad. I was exhausted. And yet, I managed to turn around some great shots don't you think?

Shooting Idina Menzel's USO Meet-And-Greet with Military Families in NYC
So I've had to keep this under wraps for a while, but a few weeks ago, I interviewed a big big star.
Think music. Think dance. Think...FROZEN.
Yup, you guessed it. I got to interview the amazing Broadway superstar Idina Menzel for the USO! I know, I know. So cool, right?
Even though Menzel's been running around promoting her new holiday album, she took a few moments of her time to sit down with three New York military families the morning before she performed at the 2014 Bloomingdale’s Holiday Concert & Window Unveiling in NYC.
I asked Menzel to talk a little bit about this experience, since it was a really special memorable moment for the military families she met, and also because it was the first time she'd ever worked with the USO.
Here's what she had to say.
I'll post a little bit later about the awesome, jam-packed day of fun the military families had in NYC after meeting Menzel, but those photos aren't quite ready yet :)
