Ballet Photography – The Nutcracker

By fotoRecord On December 12, 2008 3 Comments

There is so much gloom and doom around these days that it seems a perfect time to get a respite by taking in the North Carolina Dance Theatre’s (NCDT) performance of the holiday classic The Nutcracker.

Thursday night’s dress rehearsal was a delight with beautiful music by the Charlotte Symphony, incredible colorful costumes and of course amazing dancing from the NCDT professionals along with help from area children.

Happy Holidays!

Fotorecord is the online journal for Christopher Record Photography.
This blog is mostly about photography. Couples looking for someone to document their wedding with emotional images full of love and laughter have come to the right place.
We like pictures that tell stories. Photography that doesn’t intrude on your day. Images that stand the test of time.
After spending many years working as a newspaper photojournalist covering everything from hurricanes to athletes, presidents and celebrities, I decided to shift gears, go to work for myself, and focus on documenting some incredible weddings. We also do some corporate and editorial photography.
My wife Betsy is my best friend and business partner. I hope you will get to know me, my family and share some of our adventures as I talk about sports, life and, of course, photography.
