Behind the Scenes at the Magic Dancers Photo Shoot - Page 2
|
Megan C., Kim M., Deanna, and Shana are the four-year veterans and the first members of the team to sit down and chat with me. Megan C. and Kim M. are the team captains for the second straight season.
I am not going to even attempt to describe the looks of these women. I grew up in Ohio, and the only thing I've seen bred this well is livestock.
Megan, much like myself, felt comfort in Michael and his studio.
“The team and swimsuit photo shoots get easier and easier for me each year because Michael makes you feel right at home and there is a certain trust you have with Michael," Megan said. "Plus we have a great team this year, so there is a lot of trust here which makes everything so much easier.”
Kim M. echoed Megan’s remarks about the photo shoot and their new team members.
“It seems a lot easier this year because once you have been through it and you can prepare for the long day, you know what to expect. Not to mention, we have a great group of girls and there is a ton of chemistry which makes these long days fun.”

Kim was energetic, always dancing and messing with people. She would always be around talking to the girls and helping them with their poses. It was easy to see why they both were captains.
Deanna and Shana were just as excited about this year’s team. Deanna, a former high school basketball player, thinks the team’s biggest asset is their team chemistry. Shana claims this year’s team is the most talented she has ever been on.
As I was wrapping up my conversations with the veterans, they were shooting their first photos of the day. So, I put down my pen and paper and thought I would observe.
The girls would pose in front of Michael and his camera taking pictures. The camera was attached to a tv which would show each picture Michael took. Jeanine and Cherie would stand on each side telling the girls how to pose or where to place their limbs to get the best shot. You wouldn’t believe the importance of an arm or leg placement.

The first girl to pose was a rookie, so I quickly caught up with her to get her views on her first shoot. Her name was also Meagan P., obviously spelled different than Megan C. She is referred to as Meagan P. because I guess they can’t disclose their last names. My guess is for stalking reasons...just a guess. Anyways, Meagan P. wasn’t nervous about her first shoot and absolutely loved it.
As the day went on, I was able to pick out the rookies. Overall, the team consisted of eight veterans, two who had left and came back, and nine rookies. I wanted to get a rookie’s view on the shoot before they actually went in front of the camera. I saw two girls standing off to the side observing everything very intently. Lacey and Heather were both rookies and both a little nervous. They told me that Cherie had helped them with some poses and all the veterans were giving them beneficial tips.
Girl after gorgeous girl kept coming out and getting their pictures done. It seemed like they just kept multiplying. Not that I was complaining.
