When I was in Texas recently I shot many client Headshot Sessions, one of which was Alissa! Alissa, a musical theatre performer and student, was recommended to me by a previous client. Her agent was wanting her to get some new, fresh Headshots and I was happy to help!
It was a beautiful Texas day made more beautiful by Alissa's sweet spirit. Her light blue eyes were so dreamy to photograph and she gives a great smirk! Very pleased with the final product of our collaboration. As always, I hope these Headshots bring her much success in auditions to come!

Carmen is a musical theatre performer in Manhattan and I loved getting to photograph her for her newest Headshots. I had the great opportunity of seeing her perform in Reperatorio Espanol's production of El Laurel de Apolo this summer. She has magnificent talents and I'm honored she chose me as her photographer!  She used to sport a Pixie Cut, but now that her hair is all grown out it was time to get some new shots.

There are some people that just know how to work a camera and Carmen is one of them! Her gaze draws you in and even when she's not smiling there's always a sparkle in her eyes. And her outward beauty is equally matched with her inward beauty. Carmen's kindness, positivity, and charm shines through her. I love when a new client also becomes a new friend. Keep your eyes out for this gorgeous young woman. She's going places!

I’m beyond thrilled to finally share some of my favorites from Emily’s Bridal Portraits. With the beautiful Southwind Hills as our venue, I knew I was in for a treat. Instead of going on and on about what a wonderful day we had, I’ll let the photos do all the talking! Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post highlighting Emily and Greg's Wedding Day!

Hello blogging world! CCP has been very busy these last few months and I’m looking forward to getting back to the usual Client Blog Posts soon. Till then I wanted to write my thoughts about a certain topic:
BALLET!

Three days ago was World Ballet Day. Many friends posted their favorite photos of days past and present in tights, tutus, and pointe shoes jumping, kicking, and twirling. For many years, Ballet Day was every day in my life.

I started in ballet classes at the age of three. My older sisters had all danced and as they say, Monkey See Monkey Do. At RAFA, the Ballet School I grew up at, along with Ballet I studied Tap, Jazz, and Musical Theatre. We were encouraged to be well rounded performers, to not just be “one trick ponies.” In my teen years I took 4-5 ballet classes a week and my classical technique grew stronger. My classical training prepared me for my Musical Theatre career and gave me a leg up among other theatre hopefuls. When I started Caitlin Cannon Photography I found that my background as a classical dancer was extremely beneficial! As I photograph dancers I’m able to pose them and offer technical corrections that best flatter their body and satisfy their expectations. The setting of a photo can be perfectly composed and beautifully artistic, but if a dancer sees even the slightest of technical error within their pose, the image won’t fly. I make sure that my clients look their absolute best and guide their movement to create that picture perfect moment that dancers work years to perfect!

If you are a dancer and saying to yourself, "I don’t have any images of me dancing!” then you need a CCP Session! You deserve to have beautiful portraits that capture your passion, beauty, and strength through your love of dance.

Why not make every day World Ballet (and Dance Day) and book your Artistic Dance Portrait Session TODAY!
