If you’re a dancer, your technique is the heart of your craft. It’s your foundation. It’s what you spend countless hours refining, pushing your body to new limits. But sometimes, it’s hard to truly see just how much you’ve grown or how far your technique has come, especially when you’re caught up in the whirlwind […]

I’ve shot photographs in so many beautiful locations, but nothing compares to the charm of this little island town.

The tree-lined streets, the stunning Victorian homes, and the way the golden-hour light bounces off the […]

Our world often celebrates success through accolades. A certificate on a wall, a promotion splashed across LinkedIn, or at trophy displayed on a shelf.

But when I meet a senior like Izzie, the word that comes to mind is grit. While dance […]

Lauren came all the way from Pennsylvania to work with me for her hip-hop dance headshot session. It’s always a big deal for me when a dancer finds me on Instagram and decides to travel to meet me. Lauren is a student (and company member) of I Am Phresh Dance Academy and needed headshots and […]

The little ballerina that could I knew the first time I ever worked with this tiny dancer at the age of 9 that she was going places! Fast forward 2.5 years later and this (just turned) 12 year old has more apprenticeship offers than worn out pointe shoes. In fact this summer alone she was […]
