H E L L O 2018! {End of 2017}

In July I had a crazy thought. Let’s STOP thinking about starting photography on my own and just DO IT! As most of you know, I have been working with Erin Lane Photography for a few years now [Assisting, Second Shooting & Blogging], and finally decided to give it a go on my own. Thank you to Erin, for being my mentor and for encouraging me to take a big leap of faith. You are an amazing mentor and I look forward to learning more from you.

Since July I have photographed some amazing families and have had so much fun seeing everyone get comfortable in front of the camera and show their true colors.  Seeing laughter and the love between families/couples is something that will always make me smile.

Huge shout out to the dancers of D’Antono Dance Academy – seeing your passion has been amazing. You are all beautifuuuul!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible in 2017! I am excited to see what 2018 will bring!

Have fun scrolling through the images I’ve taken in 2017… including some of my own trips and animals!

D’Antono Dance Academy/Pine Island, NY {Alicia}

Alicia began dancing when she was just 4 years old and has accomplished a lot throughout her dancing career! A few years in, she decided to take a break from dancing and tried out a few other sports but soon decided dancing was her passion.

Alicia joined a competition team in November 2015, and won her very first competition in February 2017 where she won 3rd place overall in her age division. Alicia is now dancing with D’Antono Dance Academy and is looking forward to her second season as a competition dancer! Best of luck to you Alicia!

Last weekend I spent some time at D’Antono Dance Academy with the gorgeous girls. We had so much fun trying out different poses all over the studio. These girls are SO talented and SO flexible!

Enjoy my sneak peak of the few girls I met for the first round of pictures!
