Olivia the dancer

"For once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." - Leonardo DaVinci \

Introducing the lovely Olivia. Olivia is an extremely gifted dancer who will hopefully be attending Julliard or the prestigious dance program at UCLA in the fall. She came to me to get dance portraits for her applications, she only needed one or two shots that showed her form and what she could do, but she came away with so much more. We had so much fun playing with my studio wardrobe and trying one dance pose after another after another; we went until the sun was almost lost behind the hills as we thought of more and more fun things to try. The session was a true dream come true, and I know Olivia is someone I will always remember. Not only is she a graceful and poised dancer but an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and all-around lovely human being. It was an honor to create with her, and I have no doubt that this girl has very grand things in her future. Please enjoy my complete over-share from our session. I am now officially obsessed with photographing dancers, and I know this is just the beginning.
