Emily is a beautiful and talented senior in Chesapeake, planning on entering Tidewater Community College in the fall. Eventually, she plans on transferring to William and Mary in a couple of years. Emily has danced at Academie de Ballet for all but one year of her dance training. She has studied lyrical, contemporary, jazz, ballet, adagio, and pointe. In Masterworks recent productions, she has had the honor of performing as the Harlequin Doll and Anna in A Storyland Christmas, Older Lily in Lily and the Gypsies, various ensemble roles, Moses’ Mother in Eternal Covenant and the Nutty Girl in the mini ballet, The Graduation Ball at Academie de Ballet’s 2016 recital. At the age of 16, she traveled with Masterworks Touring Company to North Carolina to play the speaking part of Grace in The Journey of Grace. Dance, especially that of ballet, is a passion of hers and she delights in sharing the art form. She hopes that through the joy of ballet she can communicate the joy of the Lord to both students and audiences alike.

Emily is home-schooled and attends KEYS Homeschool Association. She came to us requesting senior portraits both in a natural area with a trail surrounded by trees with fall foliage and photos in an urban setting. We began at Oak Grove Lake Park in Chesapeake and then spent time in downtown Norfolk. The new NEON Arts District was especially nice for her unique images. She begins her college career this fall at George Mason University.

Naomi chose one of our favorite places for her senior portraits, downtown Norfolk. The diversity of locations available are amazing. The business district, the waterfront, the cobblestones of Freemason Street and the beautiful gardens surrounding the Pagoda Tea House provides quite a variety of settings for portrait sessions. Naomi, a home schooled senior looked beautiful in every setting.
