today is taylor's first dance recital. yesterday was dress rehearsal and i was that mom that got teary eyed watching my daughter dance. dance was a huge part of my childhood...i danced for 16 yrs and my parents attended countless recitals and performances. it feels really special being on the other side watching taylor do the same thing.
*i wish i was creative enough to have a ballerina inspired party waiting for her after the recital...instead it will most likely be pizza :)

Taylor is PRECIOUS! love the inspiration on the table pic! Makes me want to create a reason to set a table like that and throw a party today!
Is she at Palmetto Performing Arts? SO cute! We always go to z pizza in the vista after the performance. I hear ya with the teary eyes.
As pretty as the fancy kids parties are there's nothing wrong with keepin' it real Mama and having pizza! There's only so much time in the day and there's nothing more special than having your own family's post-event ritual.
SO sweet! I can't wait for my little girl to take ballet!
May is recital season! I watched three recitals on Saturday surrounded by the girls I grew up dancing competitively with. Dance is wonderful. I cried and I didn't even know the little girls dancing, I was just so proud to see the work my friends put into choreography and costumes. Your tiny dancer is adorable :)
Shannon, she is beautiful! My grand daughter has been dancing for a few years now. We love attending her recital's. It is way too cute!! Enjoy!

What a darling! Hold her dear to your heart, the years pass so fast!I have many friends with young daughters as well, having had their recitals... they are all such sweet aspiring ballerinas!
Great images!
Taylor is so sweet! I would get teary eyed too!
Ahhh... she is ADORABLE!!! That's just the sweetest thing :D I can't wait for my little Izzy to start taking ballet!

She is gorgeous! Those costumes are super cute. I still have two of my ballet costumes - you have to save hers! I would get teary too. I can't wait for C to take ballet lessons!!
Adorable! You can do the ballerina party another year...when she will remember it more.
Shannon,
Not only did I cry when I watched her, but as she got older, I would count her steps, as she had rehearsed so much at home, I knew them myself. As a working woman, a few years out of college she continues to take ballet classes, and is involved with the city ballet where she lives. It has brought her such joy.
Taylor looks beautiful, I cry all the time watching my daughter dance and sing. Mimi xx
Oh how sweet! Calleigh will have her first recital at the end of June..whew, I bet there will be tears too. x
how sweet! she looks adorable. I would have been the one crying right along side you.
sooo sweeet! the tutu is too much! i would have been balling!
precious girl in her BEAUTIFUL tutu. I've got two dance recitals this week-end.
So cute in he tutu what a beautiful little girl. I have a boy so rugby matched for me rather than ballet.
Love the pretty dining table image
Beautiful ballerina and a beautiful outfit. My 13 year old loves ballet and dances every day. There is nothing I would rather do than watch her.
Oh my! How adorable is that?!?!?!?!
So so sweet :) I also love the photography, thanks for sharing!
