Rev Dance 2011

For the past few years, I've had the privilege of shooting Revolution Dance Studio's recital shots.  It's a day full of fun, laughs, costumes, and lots of dance moves that I need to work on.  ;-)

Thanks, Shelley and Tracy for having me up again, and an extra thanks to Shelley for hanging out with me for 2 days and providing poses for the dancers!

Jerry Ghionis Workshop

Hola de Buenos Aires, Argentina!!

It's been awhile, since I've posted on here, but I'm back at it.  I spent last week attending an absolutely phenomenal workshop with the very talented wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis. 

It was eye-opening, emotionally and physically exhausting, amazing, exhilarating, awe-inspiring, intimidating, humbling, and encouraging all at the same time.  I'm sure I could think of a lot more adjectives to describe the experience, but I'll stop with those.  ;-)

I thought I'd show you a few of the photos I took on day 2 of the workshop.  These photos were taken in the Gold Coast of Chicago, and the models are an amazing couple from Mexico City, Mexico.  Hopefully you'll notice a few things done a little differently in these images!!  ;-)

Revolution Dance Studio

In the middle of June I had the privilege to head to the Chicagoland area and photograph a dance studio.  Revolution Dance Studio is located in Plainfield, IL, and it's awesome!!  My friend Shelley started with a friend of hers.  This is becoming a tradition, and I really enjoy it.  It makes for a few LONG days and a LOT of editing when I get home...but it's so fun!!!

This is not near ALL of the dancers that were photographed.  I had a hard time choosing a few to go on my blog...I'll try to do another blog at a later date to highlight some of the other dancers!!

Dancers...

I wish I could dance...heck I even wish I were gracefull!!! ;-) I don't have either one of those gifts, so I've decided that the next best thing is to photograph those who are graceful and those who can dance. Those who can't do...photograph!!

My friend Shelley recently started her own dance studio: Revolution Dance Studio in Plainfield, IL. She invited me to come up and take pictures for their spring dance recital. It was a crazy day, but it is so much fun to hang out with lots of little girls running around in tutus!! ;-)

Enjoy my favorites from the day:
