More Than Just a Photo Session—It’s a Confidence-Building Experience

What’s Included

This exclusive Toledo Ballet offering includes a 25-minute session with 3 retouched high-resolution digital images that you’ll select from your gallery, for the discounted price of $300. Additional images can be purchased from your gallery.

This is an opportunity for your dancer to learn valuable on-camera skills in a fun and supportive environment.

Our professional dance photography sessions are more than just a chance to capture stunning, portfolio-worthy images (though you’ll get those too). They’re an opportunity for your dancer to step into their power, refine their presence, and gain real-world experience in front of the lens.

These sessions are led by a professional dance photographer with decades of experience working exclusively with dancers, as both a dance educator and an artist with an MFA in Dance from the University of California, Irvine. That means your dancer is not only getting beautiful images, but also high-level coaching from someone who truly understands the language of movement and performance.

They’ll learn how to take direction, express artistry through stillness, and bring their full self forward with clarity and confidence, skills that extend far beyond the shoot.

This is a rare opportunity for dancers to be seen, supported, and celebrated in a truly elevated way. Spots are limited; reserve your session today.
Each session will include the creation of an online proof gallery with anywhere from 10 – 25 images to choose from. Digital and print options start at $25 and no purchase minimums are required.

Orders take between 10-20 days for delivery.
