I really love how soft, gentle, and warm these images turned out; however, truth be told, I set out to capture a completely different set of ballet-focused images and shot these at the very end. Due to the extremely harsh window light, and exposing for the highlights, I had to push my camera to its limits and my RAW images were almost pitch black. I was afraid nothing would turn out and I was so happy to be able to bring out such vibrant colors. Despite the warm colors, it was actually 6°F outside and I’m so thankful to Maya for her patience!
