"The Rite of Spring"

Spring is a time for rites of passage for many people in all phases of life - namely Graduation.  For this photo endeavor, I photographed the final dance recital for the Avon High School dance department.  It is also the final dance recital for these senior dancers.  Some will go on to dance again, some will go on to other paths in life.  I have spent pretty much the entire week working on these photographs of these dancers.  We did a special shoot Friday afternoon for some of the Company members also.  I continue to strive to capture the strength, athleticism, emotion and technique that these dancers possess.  I hope to continue to improve my ability as a photographer to capture these beautiful images.  Below are just a few of the images of the week.  To see the entire recital gallery, CLICK HERE

 

Second Shooting 101

Last week I got a surprising email from Pete Nagy of Peter Jonathan Images that he was looking for an assistant for a wedding on Friday.  Of course I have been hoping for some second shooting opportunities so I jumped at the opportunity!  I had nothing to wear, so I went to every store in town and finally settled on a tunic dress with leggings so I could still move, yet look wedding appropriate.  I packed my bags, reformatted my cards and I was off.  The day was just about as perfect as it could be for a wedding.  Sunny with just enough clouds to diffuse the sun, and about 75 degrees.  The day went so smoothly, the venue was perfect. Hair and make up done at Salon 2000 on the circle, and the ceremony and reception was all held at the Mavris downtown.  Of course, the bride and groom were stunning and so in love.  Meaghan was fighting back tears at pivotal moments all day long.  This was a great wedding,  great wedding party and family, and a great photographic opportunity for one rookie photographer!  I am so honored to have been trusted with this job, and so happy to have been a part of Meaghan and Chase's big day.  Thanks to Pete for letting me keep my images and posting them here as my own.  Please enjoy the Haller/Klem wedding - from my point of view!
