On Pointe Part Deux April 22, 2010
Posted by Emily in : Photography, Princess Hannah, Projects , trackbackLet’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.
And one more just for fun:
I love outtakes. :)
Oh my. It was so much fun! There will be more images added to this shoot (as soon as I shoot them!) and I’m super excited!

Emily these are SO cool! What a wonderful concept. I have to admit, though, at first all I could think about was their pointe shoes out in “the world” and what they would look like when you were done…then I saw the close up in your FB album. Yup. That’s about what I thought! Really nice work my friend! You have such talent!!!
PS I especially love the composition of the one with both of them in the “Shipping” box with legs extended out showing their height difference…oh and the one with one of them doing the splits against the wall…oh and the one where one is en pointe and the other is not… oh and the one…and that other one…and… (you get the picture ;P)
Thanks Luone!
I could look at these all day long. I think that the concept of having them in that little box is so, so unique. They look like dolls.
What a fun day. How do you have time for all of this?
F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!!!! These are incredibly beautiful, Emily. Great job!
incredible!!!
Love these, but oooohhh! The one where she is on point and her hand rises above the box!! WOW!
