Ballerina Rainbow
“The second I walked into the dressing room at the Mahaffey Theater holding my little girl's hand, I knew this setting was magic,” writes Your Shot member Evelyn Reinson, who captured this picture in St. Petersburg, Florida. “In a room that moments before was bustling with dozens of little ballerinas, the photography gods gave me minutes with only these seven.”
