Sentimental Senior and Family Photographer based in Glen Allen, VA

meet laura

A few months ago, my dear friend and fellow Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photographer, Bob, asked me about my interest in collaborating on a ballet session. Bob has been a dance performance photographer for many years and I’d shared how much I loved dance portraiture. It had been quite a while since I had the opportunity to work with a professional dancer so I was very excited! A few weeks ago, we were able to work with a beautiful, talented ballerina, Caroline.

I love this section of the Canal Walk and Caroline was keen on the idea of urban portraits. We had the most special time working together and I truly can’t wait to do it again. Bob, thank you for inviting me to shoot this session. Caroline, you exude graceful talent in every way. Best wishes as you continue your ballet journey!
