    We are located in St. Louis, Missouri, but work throughout the United States and beyond.

  • Do you work with students?

    Yes! I work with both professional dancers and dance students of all ages.

  • Where can I do my session?

    Sessions can be on-location anywhere you like - indoor or outdoor. Or we can work in the studio.

  • Can I combine my dance session with portraits?

    Yes, absolutely! Many dancers like to have a mix of dance shots and portraits, whether they are creating a professional portfolio or they want to have a graduation experience.

  • How many outfits can I wear in a standard 2-Hour Session?

    Generally we can fit 3-5 outfits within that time frame (unless we need to switch studio backdrops/sets in between outfits).

  • How does the image selection process work?

    I will provide you with a link to your non-retouched image proofs, so you can make your selections. Once you have selected your final images, I will process and finish them and deliver your final high-resolution images via online delivery.

  • Can I do a session with a friend?

    Sure! If you want to share your photo session time with a friend, we can offer a discounted rate per person. (Note that each person will receive less final images than they would in a solo session). This is a really fun way to update your portfolio and celebrate your friendship.

  • Do you have any costumes/dancewear I can use?

    Yes, we can provide access to some fun dancewear, dresses and accessories in our studio sessions with advanced notice.
