Powerful, expressive imagery for dancers and dance teachers who want to capture the magic of their craft

There’s something pretty special about photographing dancers. The focus, the fire, the years of dedication held in every line. As someone who spent twenty years dancing - and who still loves stepping back onto a stage - I know how good it feels when a photograph finally captures the strength and artistry you’ve worked so hard for. Whether you're just starting out or you’ve lived half your life in the wings, I want you to walk away with images that make you feel proud, energised and completely yourself.

Why look for a dance photographer?

The dance world moves fast. Dancers grow and change even faster. Parents want to freeze these moments before teenagers grow into adults. Professionals want images that actually do their skills justice. Dance schools want photographs that look elevated and polished rather than cookie-cutter. And everyone wants someone who gets the technique - someone who understands when an arabesque needs a smidge more lift, or when fingers need softening, or when a shape could have just a touch more energy.

A photographer who doesn’t understand dance can easily miss all of that. And that’s where frustration creeps in… the feet aren’t pointed, the arms aren’t right, or the photograph looks beautiful but doesn’t feel like you.

Why work with me?

I don’t just photograph dancers - I am one. I’ve been on stage since I was three in music, dance and theatre. I've lived the studio life, the rehearsals, the shows, the injuries, the thrill of stepping into the lights. I’ve worked inside the theatre space and even as a costume maker, so I’m tuned into the details most photographers wouldn’t notice.

My job is to help you feel confident, supported and truly seen. I’ll gently guide you through every step of the session, making sure each shape is clean, expressive and full of life. If you’re a young dancer, you’ll walk away with images that celebrate the strength you have right now. If you’re a professional, we’ll craft poses that honour your technique with precision and artistry. And if you’re a dance school, I’ll bring the calm, the organisation and the creativity so you don’t have to juggle a thing.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know about the three dance photography experiences I offer.

Your production needs great photography

As a producer myself, I know how vital strong imagery is. A single photograph can be the difference between selling out a show and going unnoticed. Great photography helps you:

  • Promote your production with eye-catching marketing material
  • Give casting agents and audiences a clear sense of your work
  • Market your school or company to those who could become customers, investors or funders
  • Celebrate your company’s talent
  • Provide performers (and their families) with keepsakes that remind them of the magic they created

Every show deserves to be remembered and shared. 

What I offer

I offer three styles of dance photography designed to support dancers, teachers and schools at every stage. 

Whether you’d love a tailored 1:1 session that captures your strength and artistry, a full dance-school photography day with creative themes and effortless organisation, or emotive performance photography that celebrates the heart of your show, I bring my years of dance experience, theatre knowledge and gentle guidance to every shoot. 

All sessions are relaxed, collaborative and crafted to bring out the very best in you and your dancers.

DANCE PHOTOGRAPHY OFFERS

Below are the three main packages I offer for dance photography. However, I'm very happy to craft a bespoke package for your dancer, dance school or dance performance. Please get in touch with the details, and I'll let you know how I can help. 

1:1 dance photography sessions

For dancers who want expressive, beautiful, powerful images tailored to them.

If you’ve been dreaming of having creative photographs that truly show what you can do - the height of your jumps, the lines you’ve honed for years, the softness of a perfectly placed hand - these sessions are for you.

These shoots are completely tailored. We can work in my cosy studio, outdoors in nature or with an urban backdrop. I’ll help you plan outfits, choose the perfect music to move to and prepare for the session so you feel your strongest and most confident.

Your session includes:
• A full hour together
• 10 digital images
• 2–3 outfit changes
• Clear, supportive guidance throughout (I’ll make sure every fingertip is in the right place!)
• Advice on how to prepare so you arrive feeling ready

Find full pricing below, and when you’re ready, you can book your session directly from this page.

Dance School photography sessions

Beautiful, polished photography for dance schools of all sizes

Whether you’re celebrating the end of term, creating marketing visuals or giving your dancers something special to keep, these sessions are wonderfully exciting and incredibly easy for schools to organise.

You choose a theme - or we dream one up together - and I take care of everything else. Scheduling, admin, ordering, parent communication… all handled. You simply turn up on the day to help guide your dancers through their poses and enjoy the fun.

Each dancer receives a package of two digital images and two prints, with the option for parents to upgrade if they’d like more. There’s no minimum number of students, no pressure, just a smooth, joyful experience that leaves you with a full set of elevated, professional images.

Please get in touch to chat about booking your school’s session.

Dance shows & Dance Performances

Capturing the magic, emotion and heart of your show

There’s nothing quite like live performance. The nerves, the music, the electric hush before the curtain rises. My role is to slip quietly into the background and capture the story, the emotion and the clean technique that make your dancers shine.

You’ll receive a full online gallery plus a download set for your school or company. If you’d like families to be able to buy their own images, I can set that up too. It’s all straightforward, flexible and tailored to the needs of your production.
