15 Years of Dance | niagara dance photographer

Alex had her 15th dance recital a few weeks ago. Yes, you read that correctly…15th! She started at the age of 3 and turns 18 next week. Sigh…where does the time go! This was also her last year of dance as she heads to university in the fall.

I put together this slideshow for her…combining photos from the last 15 years. It took a while gathering the photos and at times, I just had to stop because I was getting too emotional! It’s a known fact that I love making people cry…in a pull at your heart strings kind of way. I not only made Alex cry….but I managed to get my husband Darby all teary eyed as well!

If you have a few minutes to spare…take a peak. I must warn you though, it’s 8 minutes long…condensing 15 years into 8 minutes was not an easy task! Hit the arrow and give it a minute to load.

wow, I feel like I’ve seen a girl grow into a woman right before my eyes! Such gorgeous photos too especially considering how hard it is to get good low light, action shots. I think my favourite though is the make up application shot near the window. gorgeous. thanks for sharing with us.

Kathy and Rebecca…thank-you! Yes – a little girl to a woman….that’s what makes me so teary eyed. They grow up so quick don’t they.
