Such Joy

The last week of dance classes, the studio brought in a photographer to take some solo and group shots. We had lots from throughout the season, but it's always nice to get a few more formal pictures. It was an added bonus that the photographer used to dance with Issa, so they also took some really fun pictures!

Look at this girl on pointe:

And I love, love, love the joy captured in these ballet photos:

I love that they just had fun, which was a characteristic of the year:

And this picture stole my heart:

It has been the greatest gift to see Issa rediscover the pure joy of dance, and I love seeing these friends create that joy together...
