Caitlin Holland

As a photographer, you have to work hard sometimes, to get “the shot”.
Not so today, working with gorgeous Caitlin Holland was a breeze, and the pictures speak for themselves.

ABDA – Classes of 2011

Every year in November, we get into “Ballet” mode, and start preparing for my wife’s Dance Academy end-of-year concert.
While it usually is a very stressful time of the year, I still love it. What could be more fun than to have over a hundred ballet girls running around in my studio, laughing and having a great time. In these couple of weeks I get more high-five’s than the entire rest of the year. It’s all smiles!

Over the next few weeks, I will post a series of images, graphics and little stories about this years production called “The Silk Road“.

To start things off, like every year, I produce all the class photos. Here are a few samples…
