Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. In the tradition of the books and ballerinas mini series, I continue this week with a collection of ballerinas in trees.

Carla and Matt’s wedding at the Duke Chapel was absolutely beautiful, and it’s wonderful to now commemorate the special day with these custom wedding albums.

Just last month, I came to Duke for my reunion. It had been five years– five long/short years since I graduated from this…
