Learning what works

The first time you meet a client you want to make sure they feel completely comfortable. It always seems easier with little kids because they usually aren't shy about anything at all. We shot a great family the other day and their oldest was Jessie a teenager. At the beginning she was a bit timid, but by the end she really opened up and we couldn't get her to stop taking pictures! We have learned form there one magic word:
Facebook.
All we need to do is tell them they will have some fabulous photos for their facebook page and they are game to try anything. We just love the shots we got of her. It was also fun to watch their family dynamic, these other photos show just how much fun they have with each other.

Prima Ballerina

I have been dying to take some dance photos and when my friend needed photos I jumped at the chance. Kelsey is about to preform in the Nutcracker and she is an amazing ballerina. I remembered a few terms from back when I danced (a long time ago) but other than that I was at a loss for dance positions. She was so graceful and willing to try anything, we had a great time. We had no idea the field we were at was also home to an ultimate frisbee course...we had to dodge a few players during our shoot! Here's your sneak peek, hope you love them as much as I do! More to come...I got to take photos of her sister too!
