Ballet Audition Photography

Stand Out with Stunning Photos

Dance Audition Photography

Audition dance photo shoots—designed for ballet auditions, dance competitions, summer intensive acceptances, or portfolio building—are thoughtfully planned and conducted in a safe, supportive environment.

We start with a consultation to understand your goals, followed by wardrobe selection and arrangements for hairstyling and makeup.

After warming up in the studio we begin with your first pose, fine-tuning the lighting and positioning until we achieve the perfect shot.

Each session is customized to suit your specific needs, whether you're preparing for an audition, a competition, or enhancing your professional portfolio.

She is very interested in the movement of the dancer, so the photos were quite lively and full of energy. She is a patient photographer who enjoys experimenting and is open to suggestions. Thank you Dayle for this experience.
