Happy Halloween

This years Halloween was a little less eventful than other years because very few houses were handing out candy and there were not very many trick or treaters out. We tried to be safe and social distance using Lacrosse sticks to retrieve and give candy. After we went around the neighborhood, we headed home where we ate pizza, ate chocolate chip cookies, and watched Casper as a family!

Some of favorite Halloween traditions from some of my friends!

My friend Georgine is a dentist and does dental visits and cleanings for her family on Halloween! lol!

My friend Daniel is an accountant and does tax lesson with his kids with the candy they got! Hilarious!

Swim meet

It is not often that I get to go see Logan race, but if I can I always like to go see him and show my support.

Today my last student never showed for her private so I rushed to the pool as fast I as could to catch his last few races.

Ballet Halloween!

Every Halloween week I let my student dress up in their "ballet appropriate" halloween costume and we make up halloween dances. It is always so much fun!

Happy Halloween 2020!

If you have not guessed it by now we decided to do a Disney themed Halloween this year!

Senior pics

My good friend Pam asked me if I could take her grand daughter's senior pictures.

I had done Pam's daughter's senior pictures a few years back.

I get so stressed out whenever people ask me.

I know I am not bad at taking pictures, but truth is that I am not a photographer. I don't know what I'm doing. I just take pictures of what I think looks good...

I chose to do this shoot because I know she did not have the money to hire someone and was happy to help her in that way if she accepted my work for what it was.

Here are a few of my favorite shots!

Bravest of them all

I’m literally sitting with Kiki at 10 pm doing homework on a Friday night.... apparently it was assigned by her first period class (8am) at 3 pm and due before midnight...

Is this normal????? 😤🤯😭

Kiki is such a brave girl and is keeping such a positive attitude. She has had so much homework this year and is up till 10 or 11 most nights doing work after a long day at school, piano and dance class. I know it is not easy for her, but know that her hard work and dedication will pay off. She is so brave and so hard working. I am in awe with her!
