Watch how I created an award-winning fine-art portrait of a ballerina in teal. I’ll show you how I styled, photographed and edited a ballet photoshoot of 11 year old Carlin. I entered one of the final portraits in The Portrait Masters international competition and accreditation program and earned a Silver Award. Out of over 11,000 entries, roughly 400 portraits earned silver. I’m honored to be featured among such incredible photographers. Especially considering I did this photoshoot in my living room using speedlites.

I made her flowy throw skirt and blouse from sheer and silk curtains I purchased from Goodwill (thrift store).
Ballerinas are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I took many years of ballet lessons in my youth and can appreciate the athleticism and discipline it requires.
I would love to connect with you on INSTAGRAM:

Wow, amazing! I love how simple your lighting setup was, too. Simple and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents. My sewing skills aren't what yours are, but you've inspired me to do something like this. Thank you.
These are AMAZING! I would love to get the chance to have you take pictures of my daughter (she's 4.75 years old but hopes to be a ballerina, like Carlin and you). Your art is breathtaking.
