Here is a quick sneak peak of an Engagement Session with one of the most entertaining couples I’ve yet to work with. I will fill you in with more photos and a sweet story once the rest of the images are ready

When I find myself combining both my passion and love for photography with my obsessive desire to dance, I can’t help but take the dance shoes off for a moment to shoot other dancers. Dancers of all styles have amazing lines in their body motions and capturing them is such a driving force for me. During competitions, I catch myself not studying the footwork and styling of the dancer anymore but the angles of their lines and the fluidness of the motions. Ok so maybe it appears that my photographer mind is slowly overpowering my dancer. 
I won’t complain with that.
Thank you so much to Reul and Mike the Girl for allowing me to shoot these instead of dance for a while. You guys were amazing and I had a Blast!

So why is it that some of my best work appears around 3 or 4 in the morning? I may never know but it is the answer to my messed up sleeping schedule. Anyways this is an idea that I’m going to attempt to run with for a while on a new logo/ watermark. Let me know what you think “Yahs & Nahs”

The other day I was flipping through a book that is now at the top of my “Next to Read” list, Starting your Career as a Freelance Photographer by Tad Crawford. He described what it means to him about creating images. I was so overwhelmed by this explanation it wraps up everything that I feel when I have captured “The Picture”! Honestly I feel in love with his description that I had to stop everything and copy it down. Tad Crawford’s quote sums up exactly what I aim for in my photographs, I try to capture the ones that are uniquely that person.
“I make images. I show people things. I capture their emotion and expressions, their memories their past, the things they love.”
John & Tonia Balboa
This photo was taken a while back at Swing Soulstice of Tonia and John, two of my favorite dancers (and leads 
), they both share an obsessive love for Balboa. I feel that this picture perfectly expresses their adoration for the dance. When I showed Tonia the picture the first thing she noticed was that she was biting her lip in the picture, something so small I would never have caught. Yet she does this when she is enjoying she is doing in the moment. Again something so small but absolutely makes this picture.
