Sisters!

Isn't it funny how 3 sisters can look so different, but somehow you can still tell they are sisters? These girls really know how to move for the camera. After seeing the results of the session, the oldest girl told her mom, "Tell Anne I am available on Tuesdays at 6 if she needs a model" and another one of the girls said, "These are the best photos we've ever had!" I loved hearing that because it tells me they had a good time. Also, it is just awesome to think about the confidence these young girls have...I hope it lasts a lifetime!

Still Dancing...

More dancers!

I am starting to get in some of the other photographers ballerina photos. I hope you are enjoying seeing them as much we enjoyed creating the images!

Here's the older girls...

Ballerinas!

The theme for our state photography organization this year is Maximum Exposure. This means to expose ourselves to try new things, learn as much as we can and find ways to stretch our creativity and serve our clients better.
This past year, I have attended multiple workshops on painting classes,children portraiture and marketing, but yesterday I held a workshop in our studio and part of the day was to do a little creative exercise photographing ballet dancers.
We have been doing portraits for one of the girls for a while, but her mother arranged for some her classmates from Advance Dance http://www.angelfire.com/nc3/advancedance/competitiveteams.html to participate in our workshop.
They must teach respect and goodwill to others at the dance studio because the girls all got along so well even though they were different ages. They were fun, silly, sweet, BEAUTIFUL and all the photographers were so impressed with their poise and said over and over what a BLAST it was just playing with the girls.
This is not necessarily typical of the work I normally do in the studio, but I would love to incorporate something different like this into some our sessions for whoever is interested. A couple of images are shown, but I'll post some more later.
