Powell’s Books Ballet Session | Portland Dance Photographer

I have been dreaming of doing ballet photos at Powell’s Books. While the gorgeous Miss Ally was home during the holidays we made it finally happen. The very talented Gabi did her makeup and then we were ready. It was a freezing morning, in the 20’s but it was clear. We headed down to Portland and parked in the craziest parking structure. That is a whole other story. We picked an aisle in the children’s section at Powell’s. I love dance photography, the elegance and grace ballerinas have is so enduring and inspiring.

Ally looked absolutely stunning in her black leo and tutu. I love the simplicity of black. Ally attends the University of Arizona as a dance major. She is so talented and I love working with her. She is an amazing young lady, so smart, talented and funny. We had so much fun and even braved the chilly temps and went outside. I will share those photos in another post. For now, enjoy this beautiful ballet session at Powell’s Books.
