Dance baby dance! {Stanford Ky photographer}

I made a slide show for Steppin' Out Dance studio, and it was shown before the girls spring recital. Basically I went in one afternoon and took some shots of the girls as they practiced. Want to challenge yourself as a photographer? Give this a try!

The dance studio is very nice, but pretty small, especially considering I was working with a 50mm lens and there was not much natural light. So, making the best of a not so ideal situation, (lighting wise) I used what natural light I had, and bounced my flash for the rest.



I will say I really enjoyed the experience of getting to photograph so many darling little girls, and some very talented older girls! It took me a back a couple (cough) years to hang out with the groups of older teens and listen to their chit chat! I also enjoyed my little peak behind the scenes of what goes on at practices, and this was what I tried to capture for the slide show, the things we as parents, don't really get to see! Not portraits, but just this little moment in the lives of our girls!

So I have decided to share just a couple pictures from the slide show, and of course one, never before seen, studio picture of my own little ballerina. Go ahead, tell me she's cute! :) Enjoy!

Large share!! I am not even done with all of these yet, but I could not resist to post a few! This is my Lilly bug and her best friend Aidan. They meet when they were 2 at story hour and have been buddies ever since. I am so thankful that they did meet, and Aidan's mom and I have become great friends too! It's also a plus that Aidan's little brother is Brody's age!

The girls take dance together and last minute today we decided to load them up and haul them out to my Dad's farm to take some pictures of them in their adorable recital outfits. So off we went with 3 kids in tow (I'm not that crazy I left my other two at home with Daddy!) carrying kids in ballet slippers through the woods!

I was tickled with the way these turned out! I hope Lilly and Aidan continue to be great friends and that they have these pictures to look back on one day! Enjoy!
