Recently a few moms asked me for a dance photo session. They’ve also been asking what’s the best way to prepare for it.
Here are a few tips for a perfect dance photo session:
1. What is the best place for a dance photo session?
The best place to get a perfect portfolio is a photographer’s studio, however, it could be done also in a park or in the street.
2. What should we bring?
Your costumes and accessories (3-4 costumes will be enough for 1-1.5 hour photo session). Make sure your clothes are ironed and shoes are clean.
Have your hair and makeup done. Makeup will make your photos more vivid and expressive. If you put your makeup at home I would still recommend to have your makeup kit with you in case you need to fix something during the session. I also provide hair straightener and curling iron in my studio.
Props you want to use during your photo session.
The bottle of water with the straw to drink
If you want to get some special photos, please, bring a list of poses you like, but don’t worry at all about it if you don’t have anything in mind, i’ll recommend you some interesting poses
It’s a nice idea to have your favorite tracks with you, it could help you to feel more comfortable during the session. Feel free to bring them on CD or a flash drive
3. What should I do during the photo session?
Just relax, listen to your body and enjoy, and we’ll get beautiful pictures
I pay attention to different details during the session, such as jewellery, makeup and clothes, however, please let me know if you notice anything is not right (for example, necklace off center, need to refresh makeup and etc)
That’s it! These are a few simple tips for excellent dance photo session. See you in my studio in Hilliard! If you want to book your session, please fell free to contact me.
