New Jersey – Lehigh Valley Dance Photographer
I love creating dance composites. This one popped up in my memories recently for one I created for Natalee. I love going into the same dance studio year after year and creating these and watching the dancers grow up!
Dance portraits sessions available. For more information please contact me.

I’ve always wanted to create some unique and fun holiday portraits for dancers. I’m usually way too crazy this time of year to do it but this year I decided to give it a go.
The result is some fantastic images were created!
I’ve been photographing Blake for years. He’s becoming a great dancer! He was also a good spirit. I had this crazy idea in my head for a pose and he went ahead with it:
I’ve also had the pleasure of photographing Penny for several years. Not only a talented dancer but also does some modeling in NYC. Penny wanted to try a few jumps. Normally I love jumps but with lights? She managed to pull it off!
This was the first time I photographed Julia and Emily. They are sisters that both dance. They did a great job!
While I was photographing them together, I had this vision in my head for a photograph. It wasn’t dance related per say but definitely holiday related:
I LOVE this image and glad I took some time to create it!
Ready for some holiday portraits for the dancer in your life? Now is the time! Here’s a secret: it doesn’t have to be dancers. Athletes and families do just great too!
Mention you saw my blog posting here and I’ll honor the 50% session fee discount!
Portrait sessions are available on the first two weekends in December. Interested but need another time? Just contact me regarding availability!

In addition to recital and action dance photography, I also enjoy candids. Capturing the dancers while in their environment is special.
I take several images and put them together in a composite like the above and make it available in many sizes. Customized for each dancer!

Lucille was a pleasure to have in my studio for some dance portraits
At first she came out with the adorable costume so I asked her to get into character and this is what she did!
After that, she turned on the cuteness all the way!

Dance Portrait Photography
I only had a brief time to create some dance portraits for Larkin but it was worth it. I had an image in my mind of her standing near a window and she did wonderful!
Her friendly demeaner and striking blue eye resulted in working with her being a pleasure
Then we ventured outside to a nearby park.
And a bridge!

Nata is another example of a talented dancer that is very comfortable in front of a camera
I really wish I had more time with her for creating great dance portraits
Nata is also exploring modeling.
A fearless dancer making a location her own. Above seen on top of a bridge in downtown Chicago

I had the unexpected pleasure of photographing the Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. They are part of the Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley.
Like many dance studios, they were deeply impacted by the pandemic. They didn’t perform a traditional recital this year but still wanted to capture the extreme talents of all the dancers
I normally don’t have the pleasure of photographing them. They’re regular photographer took ill and I was glad they reached out to me and I was available!
They are all extremely talented dancers and I was honored to be able to photograph them. It would have been nice to photograph them with studio lights but given the pandemic, they requested only dance studio images.
Know someone who can benefit from dance photography? I offer the following types of dance photography:

For all my dancers out there I highly recommend this interview with Ashley Bouder. This was a Zoom session I participated in with on Friday. Has I known in advance how much Ashley was going to share, I would have shared the invite with all the dance school and dance teachers that are clients of mine.
Ashley Bouder is a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet and is the founder of the Ashley Bouder Project. She sat down with Pas de Deux on April 17, 2020, to talk about the Coronavirus quarantine and life as a professional dancer. She discusses dealing with injuries and what it’s like to be a principal dancer, and how to conduct yourself at auditions. The video is an hour long.
Some of the many photos of dancers last year. Looking forward to creating some new ones starting today!
