We try to do things a little differently here on Strawberry Road.  That’s when the idea of themed, kick-a@#$ photography came to be!  When your son or daughter is really into something, say dance, for instance, why would you get a portrait of them standing in front of a blue backdrop, with flat lighting that, oh by the way, is the same as every other kids’ pictures!?  Get them into a cool environment, connect with them and shoot away is what I say!

The images below are of “Miss C” we’ll call her.  A teenage girl who seems to excel at many disciplines of dance.  Her mom was cool enough to play ‘voice activated light stand’ and we created what I think are some VERY cool, edgy portraits that showcase not only Miss C’s personality, but her ability and I think a little bit of how she sees herself when she’s dancing.  Enjoy :)
