Services for Dancers
Location Shoot
My favorite way to shoot. Whether it's on the beach or in the city, it's always a fun and interesting day. These types of shoots allow us the most freedom and flexibility.
Some things to keep in mind when we shoot outdoors:
- Your pointe shoes will be completely destroyed when we are done; as a matter of fact, you will need a couple pairs -- preferably dead ones.
- Although we may have to reschedule for extreme weather conditions, we will brave the cold, or the heat, or even the rain if it isn't too bad.
- Usually, these shoots involve a lot of walking. Sometimes we can cover 5-6 miles over the course of a full day.

Studio Shoot
Studio shoots don't take place in a photo studio, we shoot them in dance studios. Mirrors, barres, and sprung floors make things much easier on the dancer. Because we shoot in dance studios, additional fees for studio rental will apply.
Shooting in the Studio:
- Studio shoots are much more formal and polished than location shoots. Shot in front of backdrops with complex lighting.
- It is suggested that we shoot you in tutus and other costumes.
- You'll want to bring a brand new pair of pointe shoes for a studio shoot.

Audition Photos
Audition photos are more important than many people think. A shot of you showing your best arabesque, a beautiful échappé, or a flattering head shot can help them remember who you are long after the audition is over. Often, it can be a big help to know what a particular summer intensive or year round program is looking for -- I have shot thousands of audition pictures for programs all over the world.
