Madeline on Pointe at Ault Park.....Sunset

 This was Bari's image...classic ballet at sunset with columns.


 This was my favorite...I love her face. Beautiful portrait....
 I love the light from the right and shadow on left...Something moody about it. We had a discussion about lighting and if it was considered 'correct' or not.


 I think this one is Madeline's favorite. I like the unusual use of columns. We would have tried a different pose here, but immediately following this shot, a large SUV parked right behind her.  Love the light here too.


We wanted to use the steps. The soft box is to the right, and I am spotlighting her face with a hand held light. It was getting pretty dark by now.

After this series was done, we looked down the steps and 3 little girls had been watching us photograph. They immediately jumped up and yelled,"Mom! It's a Ballerina! Mom! It's a Ballerina!" How cute!

We love photographing our families, brides and High School Seniors. It is nice to take an hour of our day to photograph our own children. We have been talking about doing this for almost a year. I'm glad the portraits turned out so well. 

A word of advice if you like the 'Point' shoes...ballet look. We used Madeline's point shoes from last year. By the time we were done, they were pretty ripped up on the toe.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
