Without a doubt, this is my favorite thing in the world.  Being under water is a whole new ball game when it comes to photography.  I decided to go simple this year and photograph a ballet dancer under water with lots of fabric around her.  I just wanted to see something romantic, surreal and soft with this year’s series and I truly think that was accomplished.  So….here we go…under water 2014!

Photographing a styled shoot is one of my favorites.  This shoot was photographed at Hart Park and the inspiration was Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.  (If you didn’t already know, I’m a self proclaimed Disney freak)  I know this shoot does not look typical of Disney…..instead of copying the film, I decided to simply be inspired by the colors of Sleeping Beauty and the character’s personalities.  We had a great time with this shoot and I hope you all enjoy it! 🙂

“Sweet princess, if through this wicked witch’s trick, a spindle should your finger prick…a ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee.  Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you’ll keep.  And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love’s kiss, the spell shall break.”-Merryweather, Sleeping Beauty
