Addison, a very talented high school-aged ballet dancer inquired about scheduling a shoot for an upcoming audition for a major ballet summer intensive.
Like many performers of her age, she had little to no experience of having professional pictures taken of her and was unsure what to expect. Addison and her mom met my wife and me in our home studio for this shoot, and began with some warmup, stretching, and an overview of the sequence for the shoot. As I was adjusting the exposure and balancing the lighting levels, Lauren worked with Addison on the positions we would cover in the session, providing pointers and encouragement. This helped Addison tremendously to loosen up and gave her something else to focus on other than the camera. After that it was off to the races, overall we spent about an hour with Addison and her mom and took well over 75 photos. Lauren and I paired these down over the next day to our select list, along with our recommendations for which of those should be the final images. Addison and her mother received low-resolution proofs for their final review, and within 3 days of the shoot, the final images were delivered.
As you can see from the results, Addison and her mom were very happy with their experience with us. We hope to work with them again soon!
” We are in love with the photos, and I appreciate the timing of the turnaround to support the upcoming audition. I don’t know of anyone who has your personal touch locally or the quality you can deliver!”
