WELCOME!
My blog is a big part of my business and my creative process. It really is a kind of living journal for me. It's patient and loyal, it listens and even responds with your comments. It's where I feel like I can share my ideas, my work, my creativity, my life. I can be joyful, grateful, wistful, excited and nervous. In the two and a half years I've been pursuing this amazing dream my blog has become the record of triumphs big and small and will hopefully record many more incredible adventures, not just my own, but the adventures of the people who have come into my life as a result of my work.

I love feedback and hope, if something catches your eye or your interest, you will leave me a message.

Love Dani
Marrissa :: Dancing Queen
August 5, 2009 // portraits
When I was a little girl I thought I would grow up and become the Sugar Plum Fairy. I believed this for much longer than I'm willing to admit. I really had no reason to believe I couldn't, after all I had an Auntie who was a fairy. (Turns out she's a hippie, but they're still much the same in my book). From the time I can remember until puberty set in and changed everything, I ate, slept, breathed dance.IMG_5605.jpg IMG_5609.jpg

So when I met Marrissa last fall I felt an immediate connection with this swan like dancer. I could not wait to photograph her with her pointe shoes and dance attire! I finally got the chance a few weeks ago; IMG_5692_bw.jpg swan.jpg
This is probably my favorite from the entire session;

I'll post more as soon as I dig myself out from under my "to-do" pile.

cheers,
Dani
