Charlottesville Ballerina Summer Portraits in Gordonsville

This graceful Charlottesville ballerina is the one who inspired my own daughters to aspire to dance in Brushwood School of Dance Performance Company when they watched her in awe on stage as a “Petite” over a decade ago! She is an absolutely stunning dancer; it is always a treat to see her dance, so I was thrilled to be able to work with her for en pointe portraits in Gordonsville!
