Helen, Luanne & Marci {Waukesha, WI Photography}

So what do you do for fun...do you have hobbies that help you unwind after a loooong day at work? Helen (aka my mom!), Luanne and Marci have that down pat. For them, there's not much better than getting into their dancing shoes, kicking back, letting loose and dancing to some loud, thumping music ever week together. Seriously, these wonderful ladies are hard-core line dancers.

"Line dancing?" you ask. "You mean like Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart - inspired line dancing?" Well, technically yes, but it has become so much more. I visited one of their weekly get togethers a few years back and I was impressed. These people know how to dance (and there are a lot of them!), and they have so much fun doing it. And it's not necessarily to country music anymore.

Enter these three. Helen (it's weird calling her that...can I just call her my mom? Okay? Okay.), Luanne and Marci are not only line dancers, but they are choreographers who are becoming a bit well known for creating dances to "not your run-of-the-mill" songs. They now teach their choreography at workshops across the state of WI and are even developing their own website.

Enter me. These guys wanted a mini-shoot to create some traditional portraits of the three of them for their new website. I had a great time laughing with these guys as we shot in downtown Waukesha. Their friendship is so fun and refreshing....

So if you're looking for a hobby that you can have fun with and meet people at, give line dancing a try! These ladies aren't sorry they did!


My mom....isn't she cute?
