embracing YOUR strengths.
This is it! Black Tutu Squad Season 6 is here!
I am so excited about this season of the Black Tutu Squad...it is no secret that I LOVE to combine my passion for photography and dance. It feeds my soul to shoot dance sessions. I loved every minute of my time with the Black Tutu Squad this year and am so thrilled to be starting Black Tutu Squad: Season 6.
Season 5 Recap
We had so much fun this season with Black Tutu Squad. There were 28 dancers, representing 8 area studios, including Excel Dance Centre, Patti Herm School of Dance, West Michigan Dance Center, Habitat PAC, Ballet Arts School of Dance, Tye Chua, The Space Dance Company, and Young Dancer's Initiative. We did individual Black Tutu shoots downtown Kalamazoo and at the Station Dancewear studio, a fun nature/water shoot at Milham Park, a Teal shoot and a large group shoot! Check out the variety of images from the season below!
Why me?
I won't lie...every photographer loves to do sessions with dancers...your ability to move and create beautiful shapes is a photographer's dream. But just because everyone loves to doesn't mean they are the most qualified. Why should I be YOUR dance photographer? Not only have I been a professional photographer for 14 years, specializing in high school seniors, I was a dance teacher in the Kalamazoo area for over 10 years. Most photographers do not know turned in from turned out or what a sickled foot is. I do. My passion is making you look your best as a dancer. Dancers will come to me a different levels of experience and I want to work with the dancer that YOU are...embracing YOUR strengths.
I grew up dancing competitively and was a founding member, as well as choreographer for the Frelon Dance Company at Kalamazoo College. My time with Frelon is part of what inspires me to create this squad. Frelon is a student-led dance company, and dancers of all levels and backgrounds participate. The thing that brought us together as a family was our love for dance.
