Charlotte Wedding Photography: Alessandra and Michael

Alessandra and Michael seem perfectly suited for each other. And even though she is a professional ballet dancer and he is an engineer, it’s obvious they match up so well in almost every other way.

Ballet Photography: Studio Session with Anna and Melissa

I’m excited to share some images from another studio photography session with two amazing ballet dancers.

Melissa Anduiza is another incredible artist I’ve photographed numerous times and it was a […]
