When I was a little girl I thought I would grow up and become the Sugar Plum Fairy. I believed this for much longer than I'm willing to admit. I really had no reason to believe I couldn't, after all I had an Auntie who was a fairy. (Turns out she's a hippie, but they're still much the same in my book). From the time I can remember until puberty set in and changed everything, I ate, slept, breathed dance.IMG_5605.jpg IMG_5609.jpg

So when I met Marrissa last fall I felt an immediate connection with this swan like dancer. I could not wait to photograph her with her pointe shoes and dance attire! I finally got the chance a few weeks ago; IMG_5692_bw.jpg swan.jpg
This is probably my favorite from the entire session;

I'll post more as soon as I dig myself out from under my "to-do" pile.
