HOW THIS DANCER IMPROVED MY PHOTOGRAPHY

I am the mother of 3 boys, so when this dancer’s mom called for a photo session I jumped at the chance. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the mud, frogs, snakes and messiness that goes along with boys, but I thought this dancers shoot would be a nice change. Miss H is such a talented ballerina and we wanted to capture her dancing before she left for college. Her mother (who was also a gifted dancer) was such a help in making sure the lines and angles were just right. We took the photo in the middle because there is a picture of her mom in the same pose when she was about the same age. This experience helped me to understand how the lines in dance need to be portrayed to the viewer and also how much fun it is to Just Dance!
