Ballet Austin

I was asked to be the official photographer of the Grand Opening of the Butler Dance Education Center. I was extremely honored to be a part of such an exciting event. There was so much energy and excitement in the air. There was food, drinks, activities for the kiddos including a wire sculpture art table provided by Umlauf Sculpture Garden and a dance video game. There was a dance party going on in one studio. In the other studios, people were taking ballet, tap, hula, yoga, pilates and many other classes. Later in the evening Rhythm Congress played some great live music. People were everywhere watching, dancing and having a good time. It was great fun and I'm so thankful that I was invited to be a part of it! Here are a few of the pictures from the day. You can also view the entire day on my website under the FEATURED gallery. www.annazatopek.com.

Have you seen this, yet?

It's Mother's Day tomorrow! I expect breakfast in bed!

Mahalo!

I think that means "thank you." I hope it does, because I had such a wonderful time this morning with these beautiful women. I photographed Island Rhythms Hula Company and let me tell you, they were beautiful! And so patient with me. I kept trying to contort them into impossible positions, precariously perch them on rocks and ask them to dance. These ladies have such poise, grace and beauty and they were so willing to go along with me and my crazy ideas. It was truly an honor to be your photographer! I'm sorry, girls, but I have to say it...eye candy to follow!!!

Here are just a few pictures from the session. I'll post a slideshow once they're all edited.

Aloha!

Tomorrow I get to spend my morning with five beautiful Hula dancers! I can't wait!
