Dance Photography: The Nutcracker 2009

By fotoRecord On December 12, 2009 4 Comments

The North Carolina Dance Theatre’s 2009 production of The Nutcracker opened last night and I wanted to share some images from the dress rehearsal Thursday.

The show includes the usual mix of wonderful music from The Charlotte Symphony, colorful costumes and a great collaboration of local youngsters and professional dancers from NCDT and NCDT 2. There are a variety of shows including matinees so be sure to check the NCDT website for details.

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.
