“A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2015.”
Poet: the very first ballet class was everything and more for this tiny dancer.
“How are you feeling about your first ballet class, Poet?”
“I’m so exciting!”
(I choose not to change her incorrect use of tense)

“What did you love most about your class?”
“I’m loved everything. But we didn’t do Swan Lake!”

This week I found great inspiration in these four portraits (especially those of the “unportrait nature”) / this icy world seems so far away, yet so magical / movement captured…such a big part of childhood.

oh this is just beautiful, and her excitement in those words! adorable x
Oh what a gorgeous shot to capture such a special first – she looks so tiny and yet so grown up at the same time!
That really is the sweetest thing ever!
So lovely and her enthusiasm is gorgeous. I'd love to dance swan lake too!
What a gorgeous capture! And yes, she is totally exciting 😉
I took "last" photos of my one twin last year, just as she decided this was not for her 🙂

They are some of my favourite photos of her, ever!
Gorgeous photos Marcia 🙂
That little ballerina's bun and bow just gets me. Too sweet.
So stunning. Ballet class here has become such an important part of our little one's life. I hope Poet loves it just as much xx
I love this so much Jodi! A perfect memory of the next step in her childhood

What a beautiful "first" moment, Jodi, and thank you for the compliment. I've found such joy in this project and am so grateful you've shared it with all of us.
Aiming for the stars!
Such a beautiful capture Jodi xx
Oh, what a beautiful photo. Reminds me of when I first started ballet classes x
My goodness, what a lovely shot.
Beautiful! My daughter is waiting for her 4th birthday to start her ballet class… Apparently they don't accept kids less than 4 years old!
That has to be the most precious photo ever! Beautiful, just beautiful.
too cute!

Oh my that is simply beautiful
How beautiful this shot is! What a special moment to capture. x
Beautiful poignant image – bless her!
This image is so beautiful. I love your photography.
I am wondering if and how you downsize your images for internet use?
Also how do I save and resize for saving to photo album?
Another thing that is driving me insane is trying to work out how to put four images into a grid, like you did for part of the 52 project a couple of weeks back.
If anyone at all has any ideas, I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks xx
I'll write a post on resizing images and schedule it for tomorrow afternoon (Sunday 15th). In regards to the grid of photos, I created that in photoshop. When it comes to any kind of editing and resizing, you really do need to use specific programs (I use lightroom and photoshop) x
A quick and easy way to create a collage is by using a website like http://www.picmonkey.com – if you want something quick and easy and don't have the more complicated programs, like PS or LR that is. HTH 🙂 x
