Starting at age 3, I studied the art of Ballet for 26 years. I received my BFA in Ballet from Texas Christian University . Went on to teach and choreograph for various schools and ballet companies and even had my own ballet school for a few years. I ADORE combining the art of Ballet and Photography together.
God blessed me with 3 BOYS! Not a one was even remotely interested in the idea of watching ballet, let alone studying it. So now I am left with living vicariously through other mom's little ballerinas.
Hence my absolute obsession with this adorable
concept of a Living Music Box Dancer!
All of my years training qualifies me to be sure that your little Sugar Plum Fairy or Toy Soldier is indeed in the proper positions during their session. Improper technique will only lead to darts being thrown at this portrait in later years when they are more trained.
I know not everyone will become a Misty Copeland, but while they are little and love to dance around on their tippy toes is the perfect time to capture this sweet portrait. I would love to create something special for you and your sweet dancer.
