There’s something truly magical about watching a beloved classic come to life on stage—especially when it’s brought to life by the talented young performers of ShowKids Invitational Theatre (SKIT). I recently had the pleasure of photographing the publicity images for SKIT’s upcoming production of Mary Poppins, opening May 3, 2025, at the Voorhees High School auditorium.

From choreographed chimney sweeps to gravity-defying umbrellas, every moment of this shoot was filled with the same energy and joy that makes Mary Poppins such a timeless favorite. Capturing these theatrical characters in costume, in character, and in motion is one of my favorite parts of this work—especially when it’s with a company as passionate and polished as SKIT.

These publicity photographs are more than just promotional tools; they’re a visual preview of the story, style, and heart that audiences can expect when they walk into the theater. SKIT’s cast and crew have clearly poured their hearts into this production, and I’m thrilled to help showcase that through my lens.

If you’re in the area and looking for a “practically perfect” night out, be sure to catch one of the performances! For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.showkids.org.
