Well, it’s audition season again, and luckily for Isabelle, her parents run a photography business that specializes in promotional photography for performing artists.
Isabelle has worked very hard over the past few years and has grown leaps and bounds as a ballet dancer. To highlight this and ensure that the summer programs to which she is applying take notice, we decided on the Audition Package Plus.
This package includes the standard full audition pack, plus one extra headshot and four additional images for use on social media to raise her profile and potentially attract the attention of these schools before she even steps foot into the audition. About a year ago, Isabelle began attending the morning class at The School of Carolina Ballet in addition to her weekly schedule of two to three 1½ hour classes /day, six days a week. if this sounds exhausting to you, let me just mention that she’s not driving age yet! We wanted to keep the timing tight as if we were doing the shoot for a client. with the lighting changes, costume changes, and hair and makeup changeover, the total shoot time was 2½ hours. We came away with about 10 very good high-quality final images and several more good enough for bragging rights on social media! Did I mention that Belle is CSB Photoography’s marketing and social media director? With all of that going on she still has time to be a kid, watch Dance Moms with Lauren, and stay about a month or two ahead of her schoolwork syllabus…How even does she do it all!!?
Isabelle also loves to crochet, and several years back started a side hustle crocheting warm-up ware “Warm-ups by Isa” where she donates 100% of proceeds to support the mission of The Carolina Ballet.
