My production feature today is Cecilia Huffman.
Ceci started as a LEGACY fan. She was at every show that I can remember with the exception of the private events. She was the girl who followed the show and was in the greenroom hanging out with the cast; that’s how I met her actually…. in the greenroom we were in at the MOA.
Later, as I got to know more about Ceci I learned that she liked to do photography! I decided to interview some people about being our photographer at rehearsals and shows including Ceci. Not only is she a good photographer but she loves being part of the show and it shows… unlike other shmucks…
(muu-a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

LIGHTS! CAMERAS! LEGACYYYYY!!!
Hello Everybody I’m Cecilia ! , but everybody calls me Ceci, so let’s just go with that. I’m the short girl who runs around snapping pictures, laughing and enjoying all of the wonderful benefits being a LEGACY production team member offers, also known as the photographer lol. Who would’ve thought that being the official Photographer for LEGACY meant that I get to be “blessed” with the luxury of putting down the camera and helping all the cast members get dressed before their next number, packing their faces with make-up for thriller, pointing out all of their minor mistakes just for shits and giggles and getting made fun of for being the youngest… oh yeah, I take pictures too.
So how did I manage to get tangled up with all of the craziness that LEGACY is made up of? Well I started out as a fan… yes, just a little fan in this big, big world. I went to almost all the promo shows last year as well as opening night for the big performance. I walked around the Mall of America taking pictures (with my cellphone) of the cast in their thriller costumes scaring people, and did that same thing during the show at Cinco de Mayo just for fun. When I found out that LEGACY was putting on another show, I told myself that I HAD to be a part of it in some fashion, I didn’t care if I was just the ‘bag-girl’ (we should really invest in one of those by the way!) or something of the sort, and anything really, was good enough for me. I just really wanted to be involved this time around. So uhh, guess who got super excited when they found out LEGACY needed a photographer? THIS GIRL! So I went through the interview process and all that fun stuff, and BAM, here I am.
I must say, I was a little nervous at first, I had never really taken motion shots before, and so I didn’t know If I would be any good at it, but I figured, if I wasn’t, I would make myself be, because this wasn’t an opportunity I was willing to pass up simply because it was new to me. So yeah, blah blah blah, enough with the boring stuff… I LOVE BEING A PART OF LEGACY. I love everything about it. Every single cast member is so unique, and it’s amazing to see the ‘persona’ they become when they know the camera has an eye on them.
With every picture that I take of this group, there is a surplus amount of memories that come with them, whether they be good, bad, funny, or embarrassing (my personal favorite). Nothing makes me feel better than those moments when the dancers all surround Luis’s computer while I’m going through the pictures, and we all just laugh and talk about all the madness that was going on when the photos were being taken. *tear* lol haha :D
Sooooooo, yeahhhh, uhm … The more feedback I get on the photos (posted on the facebook site), the more photos I will post ! Let me know what you guys want to see more of ! That being said… I’m still a baby, & I have school in the morning… goodnight all !
God Bless !
