Pink Princess Ballerinas (trigger warning: lots of pink)

Scatterbrained · Dec 6, 2015

Yesterday morning my daughters dance troop had their group photos ahead of this weeks recital. Unfortunately both of my girls refused to even acknowledge the photographer during their individual shots, so my wife insisted that I get some portraits of them when we got home. So I threw an umbrella on a stand a grabbed a pair of headshots.

OK, I'm not a fan of posed shots of children but these are just freakin' wonderful.
The technical stuff is so nicely done as to be invisible and their personalities just shine through.

Don't ever lose these files.

Thank You!

We were discussing having these shots put in the program for the recital (parents are encourage to buy "space" in the program). Gonna have to see if it's too late or not.

Thanks! The umbrella was a 61" parabolic and the strobe was sitting bare (no refelctor) inside of it. The girls were standing just behind the edge of the umbrella, so that it was feathered down their bodies.
