How Do You Tutu?

Happy World Tutu Day!
(yes there is such thing)

There's something very special when it comes to girls and tutus. I remember my very first one... The ballet was The Sleeping Beauty presented by Bay Area Houston Ballet & Theatre. I was nine years old and playing the role of Aurora's vision (literally onstage for maybe 45 seconds!) My mother, Candis Cannon, has served as the company's costume designer for almost 20 years and I was so excited for her to make me a tutu of my very own! I remember putting it on and feeling like the prettiest princess!! Just like Aurora, I had been cast under a spell, except mine was not a "sleeping" spell, it was a "TUTU" spell!

To celebrate #worldtutuday I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorite tutu photos from over the years here at CCP. (Most of these tutus were made by the fabulous, Candis Cannon Designs!) I always love when clients bring their tutus. Tutus have a way of turning an already fabulous Artistic Dance Portrait Session into something extra special.

If you're on Instagram, make sure to post your favorite tutu photos and use the hashtag #ccptutu. It can be of you, a friend, your favorite ballerina... doesn't matter. The only rule is that there must be a tutu! I'll be posting a few of myself from back in my bunhead days. So the question is...
