Getting Ready for Nutcracker Portraits

Other than my computer being totally uncooperative yesterday (why is it, when you have so much to do, your computer feels like being flaky?) everything is looking good for my shoot this Sunday (November 13). I am excited for some new things I will have going this year – a new and wider backdrop, additional order processors (to speed things up), 2 new greeting card layouts (one with a Nutcracker theme), and  the new “Standout”  wall print which is a print with a modern. clean wood frame built around it. No glass – the print is UV coated – so it’s light, durable and easy to hang. I hope to see you there. Call (303-258-0266) or e-mail me if you have any questions.

Nutcracker Cast Portraits

Behind the Scenes

I have been involved (in one way or another) in Boulder Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” for the last 12 years. It all started with my son Jacob who, at 9 years old, decided to audition for a role in the ballet. The annual production is always Thanksgiving Day weekend – and the months and weeks leading up to it are always very exciting. Every year there are changes to the choreography and the costumes to keep it fresh. Here’s my daughter Zoe trying on a new costume for this year’s production.

Here’s Zoe with Catherine Hamilton – the costume mistress. Catherine has designed some new costumes for “Mother Ginger” and this is the first time she is trying it on a “real person”.

Also, Catherine is making some adjustments to the Angel costumes (dancer – Katherine Cordrescu).
