I've often said that I have more ideas in my head than I could fulfill in a lifetime. Well, today I was so excited that I got to execute one of my ideas I've had for awhile and do a fun photoshoot with "K" who agreed to be my urban ballerina (I put out the
request for a model about a month back).
K and her friend M came with a backseat full of tutus, leotards and pointe shoes and we had a great time tromping around downtown finding cool spots to take photos. I don't know many high school girls who have the self-confidence to be walking around downtown on a busy Saturday morning in a leotard and tutu, but I think you'll agree that K's confidence and beauty are quite evident in these photos!
Enjoy! And as always, click to view them larger.....


I think this photo has an interesting composition. In fact, I think at first glance, it's difficult to tell what it is. It almost looks like a polaroid, or a canvas just laying against a black backdrop....

So I thought I'd crop it differently so you can see the full view. It's a parking garage (one of my new favorite spots to do photoshoots). I'm standing in the covered parking, shooting through the "window" to K who's outside. Do you see it? Did you see it in the first photo? Which one do you like best?

This one is one of my favorites because I think it looks like a painting....

A more candid shot...

And here's K with her beautiful friend M who came along for the shoot. I love it when friends come to shoots - it makes it more fun and relaxed for the model to have their friend laughing at them while they pose for photos. LOL :)

Here's my assistant Casey (if you book a shoot with me, he'll most likely be there). Casey helps with posing, clothing ensembles, scouting locations, etc. etc. and he rocks! Here he was describing a pose/idea to me.....

Here he is laughing, trying to get away, and calling me a name when I told him that I was taking his photo and was definitely going to post in on the blog. :)

Another favorite of mine....

And yet ANOTHER....favorite. :)

Hope you like 'em K.....I'll be in touch soon with info re: your proofs and online gallery!
Until next time....
