Little Dancer

I got the chance to hang out with my super energetic and goofy and talented great-grandlittle, Sophia, in the photo studio the other day.

Simone

I love being able to create these editorial portraits I've been trying to reproduce since my teenage days flipping through glossy magazines.

Muse

There's something so feminine and powerful about the way they move their bodies, and the way a dress reciprocates their every step, every leap, every twirl.

Laverne

"Justice is what love looks like in public. I believe that the fact that we have to prove our womanhood or manhood is a sign that we do not live in a free society. How about proving our humanhood instead?" - Laverne Cox

Leap

A senior portrait shoot with dancers never turns out the way it's supposed to. You'll probably jump, twirl, climb your way onto signs, fountains, trees, and possibly restricted places. Being on the ground was never that fun anyway. :)
