SISTER BALLET PORTRAITS

In honor of International Dance Day, I thought it fitting to share a bit of a passion project I’ve been wanting to work on for a very long time. I don’t know if it’s my missing dancing regularly but I have been very drawn to dance photography recently. All I needed were the models!

Our neighbors down the street have two daughters who are beautiful ballerinas and I asked if they would be willing to model for me. Please allow me to introduce Ella and Grace. These sisters are passionate about ballet and were gracious enough to model for me. I could have worked with these girls all day. They were so willing to try what I suggested and gave great suggestions for poses too.

I’m so pleased with how these portraits came out especially with it being my first time photographing the movements of dance. I’m not sure what I expected but dance photography was very different from family photography. I learned even more about my camera and it stretched me (pun intended!). I’m so very excited about more ballet portraits in the future!
