Happy Birthday Katie!

Here are a few darling portraits of Katie on her big day. Happy Birthday to Katie and her Mommy and Daddy too! 

No, they aren't triplets

Sometimes a family has a special wall in their home to display their children's portraits when they were the same age. In the case of baby Mary Louise, our task was to create a set like the ones we did for her older siblings when they were in for their first portraits. The interesting thing that we see over and over again is despite the same clothes and set, each child is SO unique. Some are delicate or quirky and some are rough and tumble. Even though the personalities are different, we take pride in photographing children in a way that shows exactly who they are at this particular time in their life. 

Have you ever seen feet like these?

You can't be a great dancer if you don't have great feet. I would try to describe what that means but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I have known Erika for a long time. She was a dance teacher for my children at David DeMarie Dance Studios and is now  submitting these photos to dance wear catalog companies in hopes of being their newest "foot model". Can you point your toes like that?

Speaking of dancers...

I wanted to wish Christie GOOD LUCK as she auditions for openings in a career she has always dreamed of ....dancing. Christie has been training at Dance Spectrum since she was a toddler and is ready to face the world.  I think her fabulous head shot will be a plus as she faces each new adventure.

Ballerina in the making

We have been photographing dancers for many years. My daughter Alissa who has grown into a beautiful dancer over the years now steps into the studio to help our younger dancers with their posing and technique.

Today, she assisted Isabella. At only 12 years old, Isabella was at Short Street Photographers for audition portraits for an intensive summer ballet program. This young dancer has incredible potential. I will keep you posted if Isabella becomes 

a principal dancer someday!
