Dance School Photo Day

Let’s remember the Friends, the work and the fun!

“Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.” – Conan O’Brien

Your dancers love the art of dance and live to perform in the spotlight.  Your amazing teachers and directors inspire them to give it everything they’ve got. Together you all spend many focused, fun, and sweaty hours in the studio, learning and practicing for a singular goal: to create a moment in time, on stage, to share with your audience.  After the curtain closes and the costumes are hung in the closets, you and your dancers can look back on the experience with love and pride.  

Beautiful photos of the moments and movements you created are a great way to remember and to show the world what you achieved.  As a dance school photographer in the Philadelphia region I run photo days at local schools where we photograph the dancers and the groups in a fun and efficient way.  I have the experience to make sure that we are capturing your dancers and teams at their best, no matter what age or stage they are at. If you are interested in performance photography for your school or company, please check out those services here.

Services

If you are looking for a photographer to run the photo day for your dance school or performing arts organization, I have a process that makes everything run smoothly. For dance school photo days I use a large, pure white background that looks great with any costume, no matter what color it is. The background is big enough to fit groups of up to 30 and if you have an even larger group we can photograph them in smaller groupings and composite those into one single photo. The lighting I use creates clean, true to tone coloring while providing some subtle shadowing that gives depth to each photo. For ordering photos, I provide an online gallery and integrated shopping cart that allows dancers to easily purchase the photos they love.  I offer a variety of digital and print products for sale with volume pricing and I handle all of the communication and order processing after you forward one initial email from me to your dancers.  I also provide the school with a digital photo of each group, trio, duo or soloist to use in your online and print marketing.

Pricing & Packages

For online photo day sales, the pricing for prints and digital photos is significantly reduced compared to an individual photo session due to the volume of photos and orders all being processed efficiently together.  Dancers’ families usually each spend between $30 and $400 on their orders.  No one is required to purchase images or prints, but typically a good percentage of the families do. 

Contact me with any questions you have about dance school portraits.  You can start here with the online request form or by sending me an email. If you prefer to talk you can give me a call right now at 610-688-0331. I’m here to help in any way that I can!
