Jane Woodford and June Freeman are the 2024 Pointe Shop Models.
For this session with them, we shot in the Orange County area in Southern California.
Both June and Jane are extremely talented and this shoot was absolutely epic.
You can follow them on their IG’s below, along with the Pointe Shop.

Ayne Kim was the winner of The Pointe Shop’s 2023 Model search.
For this photoshoot, we created at Papago Park and then at a photo studio in Phoenix Arizona.
We began the shoot at dawn so we could capture the stunning colors from the sunrise. Sometimes shooting at dawn can be a chilly endeavor, but since we were shooting at the right time of the year, we had a perfect 85 degrees the whole time we were outside.
As you can see, Ayne is insanely talented. She achieved these phenomenal ballet positions while standing in pointe shoes outside on dirt. (And she makes it look easy)
As usual, for this shoot I used my Sony A7 R IV and my Sony A 7 IV to create the photos, and then tweaked their colors using Adobe Lightroom.
(Not an ad for Adobe or Sony. I just get a lot of people asking what I shoot and edit with)
After we finished at the park, we headed to a local photo studio that we had rented.
It was great to shoot outside and then in. The vibes from the first half to the second half of the shoot are very different.
The first half captured dance with nature, and the second half focused more on a mesh of dance with a flair of fashion editorial.
Ayne is extremely talented, and I had a blast working and collaborating with The Pointe Shop.
