Any one else have a photography bucket list? I have wanted to do a ballet photo session for months, and this past weekend I was finally able to cross that off my list.

I met with Lily and her parents on Sunday morning at my favorite “abandoned” location in Nashville. It was a perfect contrast to her tutus and pink tights. Lily has been dancing since she was 3 years old, and she is so graceful! I had so much fun capturing her movement as she twirled and leaped.

Once Lily graduates from High School, she plans to pursue dance in college (I hope that when she becomes a Pro on Dancing With The Stars she will let me visit her on set).

We lucked out on Sunday because we had gorgeous weather! I was worried it would be too cold for Lily’s tutus, but we are experiencing an oddly warm Fall this year. Everything about this session made me want to sign up for dance classes.

I have too many pictures I love from this shoot. I hope you enjoy seeing the rest of Lily’s session!
