Last Nutcracker Dress Rehearsal post

Here is the final post from the Nutcracker dress rehearsal. For those ballet lovers, I will post some from the show and will provide some info on the Nutcracker books soon.

Nutcracker Dress Rehearsal - 2

Here are some more from the dress rehearsal. I'll probably do one more post of these photos and then I still have some Christmas portrait photos to share.

These are mostly the younger girls, who are so cute and remarkably brave!

In the last photo - do you think my daughter saw me taking the photo (she's looking right at the camera and is wearing a white hair band around her bun)?!

Also, stay tuned for a preview of my new gift certificates, info on the Nutcracker books for this year and my Christmas greeting.

Nutcracker Dress Rehearsal - 1

I will do several posts of photos from the Nutcracker dress rehearsals. Performances are this weekend and we are very excited. The girls are all beautiful and so incredibly talented!

Extended Family

This is a preview of portraits I took recently of a very nice extended family. We took quite a few groupings and everyone was pretty relaxed!

The kids were adorable and were a big help in doing test shots. The family photo was the most challenging!

Scarves

This was a group of cousins and one of the moms bought some bright colored scarves. They also had santa hats and Christmas headbands - which looked very cool! They did a great job getting some photos for their grandmother and looked terrific.

The last picture was them having a little fun!

Christmas rush

I took Christmas photos of these two cuties last year as well. They were very sweet and we got some classic portraits, but also some fun ones! They liked the props from their neighbor and my black tape.

The little boy seemed so happy about being a big brother. They cracked me up because they were quite agreeable to having their pictures taken, but were very specific about what they wanted to do and where they would sit!

3 sisters

Beautiful girls who were a little shy in the beginning but warmed up and were lots of fun!
