Sleeping Beauty Ballet Performance

I had the privilege to take photos for the Oregon Ballet Academy's (OBA) annual winter performance which this year was Sleeping Beauty. The music was beautiful, the costumes gorgeous, the kids were just awesome! There was over 100 children in the cast! How did Megan and John of the OBA do it, I have no idea, but they were so calm and collected orchestrating the whole thing, I really admire them.

Here are a few photos from the Saturday evening performance. I have tons tons more. If you'd like to see them all, please visit Fremouw Photography photocart page. I have to warn you though, there are hundreds of photos!

This was a fun project I throughly enjoyed!

Bad fairy coming. Take the baby nurse!
Yes, that's a real baby there!



















It's my birthday!
