I love the behind the scenes action, too!
I shot without my flash, so as not to disturb the dancers. This made it way trickier, but I got a few decent ones, I think!

Swan Lake
If you're not TOO involved in a production, then dress rehearsals are fun. The chaos and stress can even be amusing. I enjoyed staying for and shooting Swan Lake's dress rehearsal (March 2011).

Children - T
This girl got a photoshoot the day before she got her braces on. And then she smiled with her mouth closed most of the time anyway. ;) I can't believe how different she looks a year+ later!

Baby - J
This little guy is still one of my favorite babies (toddler now - boo). This shoot was 2010.
Babies can be tricky, but it's hard to beat babies in natural light!

Senior - B
Another senior portrait shoot - 2010.
Anyone who knows this kid knows that this shoot was hilariously fun (my daughter, who came along to assist, had a ball). But I have about 50 shots of him making silly faces, too.
I believe the below shot is the one he printed for graduation announcements.
My fave:
This shoot ended up with him and my daughter running through a fountain and coming home soaking wet.

Family - R
This shoot was of extended family (2010). They wanted photos of all the grandkids before their parents left on a mission, which was a fun idea. Here are just a few:
Boy cousins:
Girl cousins (sorely outnumbered!):
We did some individual families, too.
And candids.
The light was too strong, but this was when everyone could get together. I figured out later that putting trees between the sun and subjects worked better (and made for some good bokeh)- lesson learned. Also, I took some from above (stool) and some at eye level. For groups I definitely like eye-level better.
*I had to switch heads on one photo - bonus points if you can find it!

Birthday - L
I had fun taking shots of this little dude on his 5th birthday. Again, the back of a warehouse worked for a backdrop.
