I am SO EXCITED

Saturday, October 8th, 2016

I FINALLY have my blog back up and running.  It may take me some time to get into the habit of posting again, but I am so excited to try.  I cannot tell you how much I have missed this and I think it will be an uplifting thing for me to maintain.  (Let’s hope I keep this momentum!)

Here is the updated business info… as I am trying to update the blog!

Sneaky Peaky : Meet the DSG Girls!

 Amy Jamieson Photography | Maricopa’s Professional and Event  Photographer

I know Miss Amy is DYING to see these and I had to get a couple online tonight.  Today we had a recital at Desert Star Gymnastics.  You should check them out!  www.desertstargymnastics.net     Today was themed FLIP INTO FALL.  We designed the brochure and were the official photographer of the event.  These kids had a blast and it was so cute to see them strutting their stuff.  It is amazing to see how much they have learned in the past year!

Amy is an incredible teacher.  Not only does she take the time to teach proper technique but she actually cares for each and every one of these children!  It is just so darn refreshing!  Her events are so stress free that it is surprisingly not like work at all!  I am so glad that I am dedicating my kids and my business with you this year!  THANKS AMY!  I know how much you do for the community and I know how hard you work!  We appreciate you too! 

When you are done checking them out on the web, be sure to run over and check out their gym at the Stage Stop Marketplace (white building on Maricopa Casa Grande HWY)  You will be glad you did!

 

(The little girl in the pink… she was not in the recital this year, but she was soooo stinking cute I just HAD to take photos of her!)

Here is a bit about him from the blog :  http://www.toddthornton.net/blog/?p=6

 

Junior Spotlight Allan Bower

The United States Olympic Training Center was host to America’s greatest and most talented junior gymnasts during the week of June 25th 2007. Our guests included USA Junior Champion Danell Leyva of Universal, who won his age group at the 2006 USA Championships. This presented the perfect opportunity to debut “Junior Spotlight.” It didn’t take long before I knew which athlete I wanted to have a chat with.It was the first day of the training camp and Allan Bower had made his presence known. In this instance it was hard work, listening to his coach, and demonstrating difficult skills flawlessly. I remember working out on High Bar with Allan; after every turn he would go up to his coach Chris Sommer, listen to everything he had to say, then focus on how to improve his next attempt. Allan does one of the most difficult skills on Parallel Bars where he starts in a Handstand, lets go with one hand, falls so his heals lead the way, does a total of one full turn and catches the bar blindly with his free hand. He not only makes the skill, he executes it as good as anyone I have seen in my career.Allan is twelve years old, and trains at Xtreme with Chris Sommer. He started doing gymnastics at the age of two in 1997. Allan is the oldest of three children, he has a brother Alex who is six years old, and Allison who is ten. A gymnastics family, as the three A’s, Allison, Alex, and Allan are currently in gymnastics. When Allan is not training he enjoys ridding his bike, and hanging out with friends. He also plays games on the computer, including Runescape. Other than gymnastics he likes to play football and basketball. The Phoenix Suns are his favorite NBA team. Allan’s Ultimate goals are to compete on World and Olympic Teams. As far as short term goals, he wants to continue learning big skills like a Kovacs on Horizontal Bar.Allan’s Accomplishments include 2006 Parallel Bars Champion, Silver on Parallel Bars in 2007, and Tenth in the All Around in 2007. I was extremely impressed when I got to see Allan Train during the National Team Camp. I am looking forward to watching this young man grow into what ever he wants to become in this sport. He has the talent, and work ethic to accomplish great things.

These little dancers can just tug at your heart.  They did so great and looked so cute!

  This one’s momma does something really cool!  She is the proud owner of Precious Wee Piggies!  www.weepiggies.com  And I am excited to see what she can do with a ballerina’s toes!  She has been so kind and patient through this whole process and I am delighted to showcase her baby girl!  I cannot wait to work with her in the future!   I think I need my babies’ feet cast!  🙂

Sneaky Peaky : Meet DSPA’s STARS!

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We have been so busy that we are starting to dig out of all of our big projects FINALLY.  We shot DSPA’s recital individual and team shots recently.  The girls so rocked it.  Ceylan Gentilella, the director always picks out the most awesome costumes that just fit the personality of the girl and the passion of the dance.  Well, and there is something to be said about proper technique…. :o)

I know she has been really sick at home watching my blog every day, every hour, every minute to see her sneaky peeks, so I wanted to please her since I know she is not feeling the best.  (Cey you can repay me later by NOT getting me sick!  hahaha)

Anyone interested in a wonderful dance program feel free to check them out: www.desertsunperformingarts.com My kids go there… they LOVE it!
