Thread: First Photo Shoot!

So, I had my very first dance photo shoot the Saturday before last, and I had to share the results!

It was a fabulous experience. The photographer was friendly, encouraging, and used to working with dancers. My creativity was at an all-time low, as the shoot was first thing in the morning (we were shooting at a local park and wanted to avoid crowds -- little did we know how many birdwatchers are out at 8 a.m.!), but happily I still think we got some great shots.

Here are my top picks from the day! You can click for larger versions.

Oh so gorgeous!!!!

Sooo Stunning! :)
Bravo!!! :))

I really like the color and movement in the veil picture.

Wow! Those are really nice shots.

Beautiful costume, btw.

Beautiful!

beautiful! that costume suits u well!

Awesome.

The one with the veil is my favorite. I love veils.

OMG! 8 AM? You must be young to look that ravishing at that hour!!!
AND YOU DO!!!! (us old girls go more for the sunset photos!)

Wow!!! My faves are the last two!

Thanks so much, everyone! Yes, I'm just in love with that costume.

Faaria: Thank you! It was really rugged: I had to be up at 6 to get ready, and, believe me, I'm the kind of person who stays up until 6, not the kind who wakes up at that unholy hour!

where do you live very prettu but the woods scare me!

Very Nice!

So pretty! I'll be doing an outdoor shoot in a few weeks and these are inspirational :-)

YAAAAAAAAAAY! I know how you feel....I woke up sooo early for my shoot--I'm waiting for my pics to get back from the photog, who's photoshopping my faves

where was this? East Rock? I love the one surrounded by the arch of the tree, your hair looks incredible in that one

ps, we need to talk shop!!! I'm planning for shoot #2 and want to compare notes

I live in Connecticut, and, yes, these were taken in East Rock Park in New Haven. The woods are really not that scary! It was a beautiful, sunny day out -- the shadowed look is a result of the lighting the photographer was using.

Najla: I can't wait to see them! Write me and let's talk.

Steve-O is all about 1. waking up at ungodly hours, and 2. using blue gels. I miss him!

Nice work ..g.:

Beautiful, I love the setting you chose and all the colours look really great :)
