Some dancers just have a way of making a location and a photoshoot come together, and Maggie is definitely one of them!

I spent some time with my Studio Dance Rep, Maggie, last weekend in Dallas, and these are a few “Sneak Peek” images from our session. We took advantage of one of Dallas’ iconic modern office buildings, the Meadows Building, dating back to the 1950s. Its architecture and clean lines made for a great backdrop for some of Maggie’s more contemporary, modern poses.

I’ve been working with Maggie since 2022, when she first tagged along with her sister Katie for a photoshoot. Since then, she has never failed to bring her incredible talent, creativity, and energy to every session. This one was no exception!

One of the things I enjoy most about Dance Portraiture is finding interesting locations and collaborating with dancers to create images that go beyond the traditional dance pose. Every dancer has their own style, personality, and artistic voice, and I love finding ways to bring that out.

If you're a dancer, or know a dancer who might be interested in creating some unique Dance Portraits, I'd love to connect. Let's make something special!

My second photoshoot with Studio Dance Rep Stella somehow managed to top the first one, and I thought that one was a home run! Here are a few “Sneak Peek” shots from our latest session.

One of the things I enjoy most about working with dancers and their families is getting to document a little piece of their journey and celebrate how much they grow as artists. I’m continually amazed by how effortless dancers can make incredibly complicated movements look, especially when you know how much time, training, and dedication go into perfecting them.

That’s what makes Dance Portraiture so much fun for me. It’s about more than capturing a pose. It’s about celebrating the artistry, athleticism, personality, and passion behind the dancer.

If you’re a dancer or a dance parent interested in creating some unique images that celebrate your dancer’s journey, I’d love to connect. Let's make something special!

For World Ballet Day, I’m sharing one of my favorite Dance Portraits I’ve taken. This image is from a studio session last year with my Studio Dance Rep, Lola.

I’ve always believed that dance can express things that are sometimes difficult to put into words. And for me, this image captures that beautifully.

There’s something about the height Lola achieves in this leap and the grace of her movement that speaks to a sense of freedom. Not freedom from something that holds you back, but a freedom of spirit. Almost like the soul taking flight.

To me, this is a beautiful example of what dance can communicate as an art form. Happy World Ballet Day!

I met up with Lake Highlands senior Briggs in Dallas this past weekend for a quick photo session. Here are a few “Sneak Peek” shots from our time together!

I had the good fortune of photographing Briggs’ sister during her senior year, along with his mom and sister for several NCL events back when I still lived in Dallas.

Repeat clients are one of the greatest compliments I can receive as a photographer, and I’m always grateful when families come back to work with me!

I'm so excited (and honestly honored) that my fine art piece, "the space in-between", was selected for the juried exhibition Diptych/Triptych/Multiples/Collage at A Smith Gallery.

A Smith Gallery is a world-renowned gallery dedicated exclusively to fine art photography, so having this piece included is incredibly meaningful to me.

The "space in-between" explores the unseen forces in our lives that quietly pull us in different directions—sometimes in opposition to each other, and often without us even realizing it.

And a huge thank you to Studio Dance Reps Lola and Maggie, and to their families, for trusting me and allowing me to use their images in this altered piece. I'm so grateful to have you be part of this journey.

This image of Studio Dance Rep Sage, taken during a shoot in Dallas earlier this year, is definitely one of my favorite Dance Portrait photographs from over the years!

For me, this shot is all about the pose. An impressive ballet pose is about so much more than just flexibility. It’s the combination of technical mastery, beautiful lines, control, and expression, along with that ability to make something extraordinary look almost effortless.

Sage brings all of that together in this image. She takes what’s physically possible through years of training and hard work and turns it into something that goes beyond athletic ability and into the realm of visual art.

And then there’s the background! The tones work beautifully with Sage’s outfit, tying everything together without distracting from the pose. When you get the pose, the lighting, the colors, and the background all working together like this, you’ve got a home run!

Seems like the perfect time to share a few more images from my recent photoshoot with Studio Dance Rep Riley! She’s heading to Mobile, Alabama, this weekend to kick off her third season as a Pro Reveler!

Our shoot in San Antonio came together at the last minute, but Riley showed up ready to go and absolutely killed it! She brought some amazing moves, great poses, and plenty of energy to the session, and we came away with some fantastic images.

Best of luck this weekend, Riley! I’ll be cheering you on and looking forward to our next collaboration together!

It seems only fitting that today’s pick from some of my favorite Dance Portrait images over the years features a dancer celebrating her birthday! Happy Birthday, Kenslea!

This image is from a photoshoot we did in Kerrville back in 2023. It was our first session together, and we went on to work together on many shoots over the years. There are quite a few images from those collaborations that rank among my favorites, and this is definitely one of them.

So, what makes this shot work so well? For me, it starts with the combination of bold color, lighting, and Kenslea’s pose. The colors hit you first, and her pose echoes that horizontal band of color running through the image. Then you have the visual contrast of her planted hand and raised arm reaching up against the open sky. The color of her outfit is just about perfect for this backdrop!

And finally, the lighting really brings it all together. The way the light catches Kenslea, especially her hair, adds another layer of drama and helps give the whole image that extra punch.

A favorite image from one of our earliest sessions together, and a great reminder of all the fun and creativity we shared over the years. Happy Birthday, Kenslea!

Here are some more images from my recent session with members of the Cornerstone Warriorettes Dance Team in San Antonio! Studio Dance Rep Katie rounded up a few of her friends from the team, and we got together for a quick photoshoot.

I often encourage my Studio Reps to bring a friend or two along for a session, and there are some really great reasons to do that. Friend sessions are a lot of fun, and the dancers can feed off each other’s energy and ideas. Plus, it’s a chance to create some great individual portraits while also capturing a few images together. It’s a win-win all around!

Wrapping up my images from the recent Dallas studio session with a few shots featuring three of my Studio Dance Reps! Sisters Lola and Fiona teamed up with Beaux for some great images.

There’s always something fun about photographing more than one dancer at a time. I love watching how they feed off each other’s ideas, energy, and creativity. One person tries something, another builds on it, and before you know it, we’re creating images we might never have come up with individually. It’s usually a recipe for some pretty amazing photos!
