I met Amy when she was about 4 years old and instantly adored her. The same afternoon, I remember playing "horsey" with Amy and her baby sister, Becca, at a family barbecue, permanently grass-staining my favorite jeans ; loving every second of it. About two months after we met, I married her uncle and became Amy's (favorite?) aunt. Now she is 12, and beautiful and talented. Amy is also a dancer and spends about four hours a day in dance class. It was an honor to photograph my niece over the holidays in her toe shoes (ouchie!) and leotard. We chose a gorgeous outdoor location. I give *kudos* to Amy for braving the 18 degree afternoon to capture these shots.
It was crazy cold but worth it!
