“Charissa Johnson is a wonderful photographer, beautiful dancer, and an absolutely incredible individual! She and I met through the University of Chicago’s Ballet Company and reconnected this fall during a Zumba class. Since we both share a passion for dance, I asked if she would be willing to do a ballet photoshoot with me. To my delight, she enthusiastically agreed and we began to plan. Charissa not only found the perfect place for the photoshoot but also came prepared with ideas for poses! We laughed the entire time and talked about college, life, and everything in between. It was an amazing experience and I loved every minute that I spent with her! I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Charissa and I feel even luckier to call her a friend. This was without a doubt the opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos!” — Laura
