Let’s not beat around the bush: these girls are BEAUTIFUL and they weigh like TWO POUNDS.

To top if off, they are also fun to be around! They are Hannah’s ballet teachers, so of course, they are celebrities around our house. She saw them star in the Nutcracker in December, so she’s been star struck by them for months.

I’m working on a final project for one of my classes and I knew I wanted to incorporate a theme around these girls (and a few more ballerinas. . . the project is still in progress . . .) so here are several images from our shoot.

I sketched out what I wanted them to do in this frame, and since my stick figure drawings were practically chicken scratches, I had do demonstrate what I had in mind.

Ahem. Me. The NON-BALLERINA.

I’m pretty sure they wanted to invite me to take Hannah’s ballet class since that would be about my skill level. They obviously posed much more gracefully and beautifully than I did. :)

They are both so photogenic, and beautiful, I think every frame could have been posted. :)

See this one? I told her to spot into the lens so I could capture her head still but the movement of her body. Get this, I totally demonstrated a pirouette to her (please don’t ask me why since she is the professional!) in my FIVE FINGER shoes and guess what? It was the best pirouette I’ve done since I quit ballet in the eight grade.
