To the Pointe Studio of Dance, Portraits by Point of Rocks Photographer

I am not sure where the time has gone, but seems like I've been wrapped up in photographing and editing and not any blogging.  Now that it really feels like summer outside it is the perfect time to sit in my cool office and put some images up to share.  

These were taken this Spring for To the Pointe Studio of Dance's recital, Away We Go.  The students were ages two and up and showed a lot of talent, personality and love of dance, music and theatrics.  I enjoyed being a part of the team and can't wait to see what the costumes and dances will look like for next year.  Don't you love all the bright colors in these portraits?

Growing up I took ballet and jazz and moved to modern while I was in high school.  As an adult I've gone back to dance and taken ballet, modern, hip-hop and practiced yoga.  The dance studio is a place I feel very much at home.  I can't wait to work with this group again.

Liam's Tree House

Liam is completing his second grade year and he was asked to design a tree house.  He is just like me and has taken a lot of time coming up with the perfect design.  This is the type of project that I excelled at and it looks like Liam has given it a lot of thought.  Below you will find everything an eight-year old boy needs.

To begin your tour start at the bottom and walk up the stairs.  Thank goodness he installed a "sicrity sistum" for safety as well as fire alarm (you know how often tree house catch on fire!).  It looks like he sleeps in the "hamice"on the first floor, has a pool with built in shower and water slide on the top floor.  He was smart to include a toilet (his female classmate thought that was gross!) and a "Cooking Buttler".  And no tree house is complete without a TV, Kindle charging station and prison! Looks like he not only covered his basic needs (shelter, food, cleaning area and security) but also found room for some fun!  Do you think he'll build a mother-in-law suite?
