5 mins with Chanelle

If there has been one thing I've learned lately its that time with spectacular people can be over way too quickly. Maybe its the strange phenomenon that at one minute time seems to be standing still and at the next I blink and time becomes history. To make time last a little longer, I carved out 5 minutes to get a few photos of Chanelle:

Dara

Dara is super passionate about everything that she does. Pursuing a career as a dancer, she is currently studying dance at UNM and is performs with the UNM Jitterbugs Anonymous team. Dancing any chance she gets, her special interests are Middle Eastern dance, Lindy Hop, and various forms of modern dance. An inspiration to both watch and dance with, her smooth skills and elegant movements are a distinct characteric of Dara's style. The best part of working with Dara was capturing her in mid action as she danced. Then of course, with my interest in fashion and portrait photography, we stepped outside and found some creativity with some new angles. A beautiful and classy young lady it was, it was a pleasure to work with her. An amazing day, thanks Dara!

Incredible balance....

A bit of a rebel :)....

Elegance....





A great smile from an energetic and spontaneous girl...

Yuliya

Yuliya is all about a fresh perspective. She is yes, a gorgeous young lady with blond hair and blue eyes. Yet, that's all on the outside. Born in the Ukraine, she sees the things we take for granted with an appreciation that for me, has provided a greater awareness and thankfullness for differences that exist in the people and places around the world. A fantastic dancer and nimble skater, Yuliya will keep you guessing.....

Ashlei M.

What a pleasure it has been getting to know Ashlei. With a host of multicultural experiences and travels abroad, she is always looking for opportunities to challenge herself while exploring and learning about anything she finds appealing. With high energy, she always keeps the flow of life moving in forward direction.....

Greg G.

Greg is a definitely a gentleman of superior quality. Since the early days of my youth, I've always know Greg to have an outgoing and approachable personality. Always eager and interested in the latest happenings in other people's life, I can't ever recall not having an engaging conversation with Greg. Currently a Sophomore at UNM, look for Greg on campus or when the snow hits, tearing the slops at Purgatory, (DMR)CO. Here's what the afternoon entailed........





........thumbs up to good day hanging out with Greg.
