it’s time to show the world what you can do

 isn’t just a sport, it’s a passion and a purpose that requires huge amounts of discipline, poise, mastery and determination. Dance photo sessions are an opportunity for us to work together to achieve compelling images of you in your very best poses. Dancing is a beautiful art form, and I love to create dance portraits that show off your grace and talent.

Dancing


Your dancer has put in countless hours perfecting the beautiful art and technique of dance. Not to mention all the time and money spent as parents helping your dancer discover their passion and confidence on stage! Forever preserve this precious time in their lives while helping them gain confidence and show them how beautiful and talented they really are.

Awesone! To reserve your portrait date, send me an email and I will send you a link to my scheduling calendar. Next, I will send you a general liability contract to e-sign as well as your invoice to secure your date on my calendar. 

HOW MANY PHOTOS ARE TYPICALLY INCLUDED AND CAN WE PRINT THE PHOTOS OURSELVES?

can you help me figure out what to wear and how to pose?

Gallery images will vary depending on the individual dancer. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your photos on social media as long as you credit Chrissy Stair Photography.

Absolutely! Included with every booked session, is my exclusive Dancer Session Style Guide customized to these dance photos. This guide gives you tips on choosing outfits, location and much more. As each dancer is unique - being prepared with poses ahead of time that showcase your unique strengths as a dancer will help us use our time together more efficiently. Then, together we will come up with more creative poses as our session moves forward.

how long does it take until we receive our portrait galelry?

Is wardrobe provided?

How many times can I attempt a pose before moving on to the next?

 I guarantee a two week delivery, but typically it is MUCH quicker. 

No, we do not provide costumes, leotards, or outfits for dance photoshoots. We’ll consult on which  pieces you should bring with you ahead of your session. We recommend that you choose wardrobe pieces that vary in color and style, and that you’re confident in, showcase your personality, and align with your theme. Your confidence will shine through your photos!

Note: All wardrobe choices must be parent-approved for dancers under age 18.

We abide by a dancer-first philosophy. Your health, safety and well being are our top priority. We want to take enough shots to achieve your best, but not so many that you get fatigued.

Typically we start with headshots and then move on to poses – first two feet on the floor, then one foot, and finally no feet. Each pose will be shot 3 to 10 times, depending on dancer skill and maturity. 

*I do have some skirts available to add to your outfits.
