Samantha is another wonderful dance student from the WMU dance department.  Memories Bridal & Evening Wear provided the amazing "Little Black Dress".  

I first photographed Sam for an ENCORE Magazine article about their 20th Anniversary Winter Gala.  I've included images from their rehearsal for the gala.  Sam was covered in a white parachute dress dancing dramatically to the classic musical piece Flight of the Valkyries. It was truly beautiful and it was only a rehearsal.  

Months later, I am with Sam in the studio with this amazing little black dress with side cutouts.  The session was short but fruitful.  I love these images of Sam and her intense and easy connection to my camera.
