Performances

Dedication, passion, and achievement are words that you and your dancers know well.  After the final ovation and bows are over, you can all still savor the feelings and memories.  We’ll make sure you have the images to help you share those memories with your students, families and fans.

Location

We have so many wonderful options to choose from for your photo session!  Your favorite park, my studio, your home or even the streets of your town are some of the possibilities.  I work throughout the Main Line of Philadelphia and am available for travel through the greater Philadelphia region, Delaware Valley and beyond. Your session is totally customized, so we will choose a location that suits you.

For outside sessions we want beautiful light for your portraits so we will try to time yours to the golden hours just after sunrise or just before sunset.  For studio sessions, we’ll create patterns of light using studio strobes that compliment your best features.  When we are creating light we are not dependent upon the sun so studio sessions have more flexibility with timing.

“Emily is a true artist - time of day for lighting and setting play a large part in her photos. She captured so many incredible shots of my family of 5 it was hard to choose which ones to print and hang.”
