Darrien {Dance Photography}

Have you ever had those little butterflies in your stomach when your so excited about something?  Well I did many times during my session's with Miss Darrien.  She deserves the title after proving herself to be such a lady, yet only a teen.  This session was purely for fun!  I was telling my friend Nikki how I would love to photograph someone doing ballet in a field.  She told her co-worker who's daughter(Darrien) is a performer and played the middle man introducing us.  I soon met the model, mom and Grandma at a coffee shop and we all chatted my vision and the remaining details set.
This first series is from earlier this summer and OH MY GOD were the mosquito's bad!  We all had at least 3 layers of bug spray on and were still being eaten alive.  In 30min we had 3 different outfits and 4 different backgrounds...then ran to our cars as we yelled good bye...thanks!  Now looking back we probably should have done the studio session first and got to know each other with no bugs...  Even with all the bugs, we got some great images from this first session!

We met up a second time at the studio and one of Darrien's instructor's came along to help/direct.  I'm not sure that's what her intentions were coming, but I sure appreciated it!  I love ballet but couldn't tell you anything intelligent about it other than it looks pretty! 

Thank you Darrien and crew for being part of this process and trusting my vision!  And for getting up early even when you were sore & tired!  Xo
