It’s been a pleasure getting to know Jack’s family over the past several years and it was great to see them again at a recent photo shoot.

I first photographed Jack last year and he has grown so much in that time. He is very photogenic and fun, but the challenge lies in the fact, as his mother informed me, “he NEVER stops moving.”

Have a wonderful Christmas Jack and family and I look forward to working with you all again early next year.

One of the many great traditions of this time of year is the annual performance of The Nutcracker.

Charlotte is blessed with an incredible dance company and the North Carolina Dance Theatre’s performances never disappoint.

This year was a bit unique as I had a chance to photograph portions of  dress rehearsals over two days with different dancers assuming some of the lead roles. One thing this called to light was NCDT’s abundance of talent as different dancers seamlessly stepped into new parts.

There are numerous performances from Dec. 10-12 & Dec. 17-19 with matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.

It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
