Wizard of Oz - Post 2

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.

Kiss A Pig

My client is in the running to kiss a pig as part of an incredible fundraiser for the American Diabetes Organization. She was featured in the Celebrate Arkansas Magazine and has been raising lots of money for this worthy cause!

I was honored to take her photos and quite thrilled to see one of them in the magazine!

Future Razorback

Their extended family are Razorback fans and perhaps the young boy will be too! He liked the family Razorback blanket and also the pig statue in the park!

They are such a nice family and I had a great time hanging out with them.

I'm still here!

January and February so far have been very busy! I am working on fulfilling Nutcracker orders, getting caught up on everything I didn't get done during the busy season, donating sessions for fundraisers and getting ready for an upcoming awesome photo shoot.

I will be photographing the dancers of the 'Wizard of Oz' production in Northwest Arkansas. I will be doing the posed portraits as well as photos of the kids in action during the performances.

I did some test shots of my daughter in her costume and the girl playing Dorothy. The costumes are gorgeous and I can't wait to see all the kids in theirs!
