Dancer Recital Costume Portraits

Watching my own daughters dance is one of my favorite experiences as a mother: witnessing them doing something they love, seeing their strong capable bodies move with such grace and joy. What a gift as a parent! And photographing them in their various costumes, incorporating some steps from their dances: this is a way to document and preserve this precious memory. It is certainly a honor to be able to photograph so many lovely dancers each Spring!

“Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.” -Havelock Ellis
