I usually drive my kids crazy when I want to practice certain lighting setups or poses. This time I was asked by my beautiful niece to take  some action dance photos for her dance class - Perfect! I have a willing subject but her availability will be on Sunday Afternoon when my beloved Dolphins are taking on the NY JETS.  In all honesty I was more than happy to spend the afternoon photographing our little dancer.  We had fun and got some really nice shots and when I got home I got to see Miami make a huge come back and defeat the Jets - its a win win day.

Here are some images that we captured Sunday.
