Lloyd Family

I love the locations we used at this shoot. This family really wanted to remember the beautiful fall in Ohio. Last year, I drove by this particular spot several times and thought it was so beautiful and golden. I am excited I finally got to shoot there.

I think this little girl is just beautiful. She has beautiful porcelain-like skin...and I love those tiny skinny jeans!

This location is my new favorite! The neutral background is very complimentary to any color scheme. Isn't that an awesome chair? The client refinished it herself and brought it along for a pop of color. Thank you! I love it.

Ovation Movement: Bitty Ballet + Princess Ballet

This fall I signed my daughter up for her first ballet class: Bitty Ballet. The owner of the company contacted me soon after to see if I would photograph a variety of classes to showcase on the website. Ovation Movement teaches classes for many ages and interests and I had a great time spending time with each class.

These beginning ballet classes were really fun and a great introduction to dance and movement. The girls practice sweet dances to fun songs, use interesting props, and have one-on-one time with their instructors. I look forward to participating in more classes!

Ovation Movement: Rock and Roll + Hip Hop and Tumble

These next two classes were full of energy and upbeat music. Both boys and girls practiced dance and tumbling. You can clearly see that the kids are having a good time!

Rock and Roll:

The lighting on this little girl was amazing. I think I took at least 10 pictures of her!

As you can see, the instructors really get down and have fun with the kids.

This hula-hoop game inspired some hip moves and encouraged teamwork.

Ovation Movement: Seniorcize + Instructors

Seniorcize was a great class with lots of stretching and strengthening moves. I could tell there was friendship and humor shared among the participants.

And these friendly faces are the wonderful instructors who teach and assist the classes. They are fun, patient, and enjoying working with the children.
