You & Me : Tara's House

This weekend some dear friends of mine are performing a very special show in Reno, Nevada. It's called You & Me and is the brainchild of Tara Rynders. She began this show in Denver, with a collection of artists and a dream to create an intimate performance in the most personal of spaces, her home. I was luck to be a part of this show and participate in it from the beginning.

We took the show on the road for this first time earlier this year in San Francisco and now she's continuing the journey in Reno. For those of you who are local to the area, you don't want to miss this this. I wish there but alas life takes over sometimes and I have other projects in the works. I hope to make some magic with these lovelies very soon.

For more information on You & Me Reno, please visit Tara's Website.

through the lens thursday

Photographing dancers is one of my favorite things to do. For this shot, the lovely Taylor Augustine and I adventured through a snowy field to capture a few last moments of our photo shoot. With dancers, those last moments tend to be the most magical and light filled. Whenever I photograph dancers I ask them to dance for the last 5 minute of any shoot as an improv. I'll stand back and let them weave their movements into a score all their own and suspend special moments with a photograph. If there's an extra special moment, I'll ask the dancer to repeat it, so I can capture it from another angle or view point. This is one of Taylor's special moments. She did this jump and the peaceful and powerful quality of her glance caught my eye. This was the first version of this jump. It's raw, honest and beautifully simple. Sometimes the first frame is the best one, you can't recreate it's magic.

Love and Light,

Heather
