Ballet portraits of dancer Anna Severson in Oklahoma City.
It has been a goal of mine for a few years to get my photo work published in one the Dance Magazines, and I’m so excited to announce it happened in the February/March 2017 issue of Pointe Magazine! You can read the article about Oklahoma City Ballet dancer Devin Larsen right here.
Thanks to Kristin for sticking around after class to help me satisfy my creative craving :)
We took a short & relaxing trip to the mountains between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. New Mexico is our home away from home, but this time we ventured outside our usual agendas. We stayed one night in a historic town now mostly used as the backdrop for movies & tv shows and two nights at a cozy b&b right by The Plaza in Santa Fe. We didn’t pack our time with lots of activites, instead had one or two things per day that we would like to do and just let the days flow from there. I’ve put together a little video from this trip if you want to check that out as well :)

When Daina said she’d like to shoot with me again, but with her boyfriend this time, I thought it would be a great opportunity to do a romantic ballet shoot! Eli at the M.A.C counter did a great job with Daina’s rosy/glowy makeup look that we paired with a simple white flowy dress and bare feet for a Juliet feel. And because I love clean lines so much, we finished the shoot with some black & white shots against an outdoor wall.
