She Dances

She dances
The lift in her torso intentional
With such grace
Her love for artistry felt

Her arms reach upward
Hands a delicate strength that pull you in
Her surroundings of sand and sea
An extension of herself

The mist tangible
As she moves through each extension
Each developpe
Such awareness of her body

With my lens I follow her
Each deep plie
I find myself bend, then rise
Connected in our flow

The direction I give
Always a compliment to her movements
My intention always to follow her lead
To guide when there is pause

The sand
Now a tapestry of toe-prints and lines
As she moves through her choreography
Interpretive, contemporary
Art in motion

Grateful to observe, to capture
Her art-felt imagery
A part of her forever
She dances


*Imagery & prose by Mandy @welcomearms

To work alongside dancers... seriously I feel so blessed.
Growing up a dancer, immersed in the dance world, it just fills my heart to capture what I love to call Art in Motion.
I feel so present, connected and grounded.
A dancer knows that... once a dancer, you are always a dancer! It is part of who I am and I feel that part of me come to the surface when I am immersed in a dance photography session. It feels like Home.
