These photographs were part of a series of studio photographs done for the ballet dancers portfolios as well as for publication purposes for the annual Marin Ballet production of the Nutcracker in San Rafael California. It's amazing to witness the dancers power, grace, and flexibility creating such beautiful fluid motion, but to truly know what sort of athletic ability and dedication it takes to be a ballet dancer gives one a completely new appreciation for their grace. It is truly awe inspiring to witness them perform up close as I've had the opportunity to do on so many occasions.

Crystal and Anthony were married at StoneTree Golf Course in Novato, CA. We had a beautiful sunset and an awesome 1964 Chevy Impala the take photos with. The grounds of the StoneTree Club House and the golf course itself are spectacular for photography giving many choices for backgrounds which ultimately leads to a wealth of different looks and styles. This is a venue that I've worked many times over the years and it never ceases to dazzle. Crystal had an amazing gown and look to her reminiscent of Cleopatra. At the end of the day Crystal staked a claim to her husband and his Impala all in good fun. If you are ever looking for a venue in the Novato area StoneTree is not to be missed.

These images were made a couple years ago in Bonnie Springs, NV. The day I took these photos the temperature was hovering around 45 degrees so it was very cold for the models. I as well as the other photographers that participated in the alumni shoot that year had a wonderful time and got some fantastic photographs for our portfolios as well as the models portfolios. Special thanks goes out to Wayne Wallace for organizing the event, the models who have hopefully defrosted by now and Hallmark Institute of Photography for sponsoring the event.
