Nutcracker Shot List
Let me know if there are any images I am missing or things that you just LOVE about Clara that I may not have mentioned.
Just a note: I am a human, and there are circumstances where things happen, each dance is different and each Clara is different so you may not get exactly what a previous Clara received, but I try my best to capture what the essence is of her day, and HER show!
The shot list i have in my mind….
Getting ready
Friends back stage
Clara with norma
Clara with Leia

Details of the Nightgown

Anything back stage before curtain
Norma always hugs the Clara and fluffs her skirt one more
time before the curtain rises, even if it’s dark and blurry
it’s just a sweet moment.

At Intermission I run back stage to see if there is anything going on, with the change into the nightgown I like to get her with friends and anyone else she may like to.
2nd act I just follow her with my camera, its a lot of sitting but its sweet.
Post show we capture her with friends, family and anyone who came to see her and youd like a pic with. You can send me a list of these people or you can just stand with me and let me know who is who.
