I just have to share!!! One of my clients traveled with the Nouveau Dance Company from Plainfield, IL to Davenport, Iowa this past Saturday. She participated in the Starpower dance competition and a most photogenic contest. The dance company took many top honors including numerous Platinum and Double Platinum awards. Way to go girls and our own Alexis Canon won Most Photogenic, beautiful and talented!! We couldn't be prouder!

The winning photograph!
