She is 1!

I was thrilled to take photos of this sweet girl to mark her first birthday. Her mom made the delicious cake and the birthday girl seemed to like it very much!

I also took a photo of her with her big sister.

Wizard of Oz - Post 3

I think we are now about half-way through the show! There were a lot of dancers in this production. The organization of it and keeping all these young ones under control was quite impressive.

Here are a few more from the Wizard of Oz. The Munchkins and Glendas had a fun dance celebrating the demise of the wicked witch! Also, the cow from the tornado scene was very funny. The kids watching the show got a kick out of that!

I'll post at least 2 more previews over the weekend.

Wizard of Oz - Post 1

Yesterday my daughter's school put on a production of the Wizard of Oz Ballet. The first through fourth graders that participated put on 2 incredible shows. The whole thing was so impressive, that it is hard for me to single out too many specifics. I will point out that all the children and adults seemed to have a lots of fun! The lead characters were great and I thought the variety and complexity of the dance routines was amazing.

I am going to preview a few photos from each dance and then I will load the performance photos to www.loriejohnson.photoreflect.com by dance group.

The portrait package orders will be delivered to the school during the week following spring break.

Here are the first photos of my preview, more will come tomorrow.

Newborn baby girl

Newborn girl sessions are perfect for accessories and this little beauty had lots of cute ones! It was quite a selection between gifts and some headbands her grandmother made. And I loved her red tutu!

Her big sister even popped in for a few photos, although it is easier to convince a newborn to stay put than a 2 1/2 year old!

Newborn boy

It is so much fun to photograph babies and hang out with new parents. This little guy is just over a week old and was so cute! He fought going to sleep, but finally settled in for a little while.
