Life moves too fast. We’ve all had that breathless feeling of wanting to freeze a moment in time, whether it be a milestone event in your life, excitement during your performance on stage or just a lazy afternoon, appreciating the little things. Let’s work together to create beautiful heirloom portraits that reflect who you are, that capture this season of life, so you can remember, celebrate and share it all in the days, years and decades to come.
I am a professional photographer serving dancers, performing artists and families throughout the greater Philadelphia region and I’m here to help you light your life, share your story and love your look. Let’s get started.

Dancers
You dream. You dare. You dance. You’re strong and beautiful, and you deserve to see that for yourself. Together we’ll turn your art into something you can treasure forever—and show the world what you can do through powerful, expressive dance photography.
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 through professional performance photography.
Seniors
After all these years, you’ve made it—and you want to look good. Let’s celebrate this milestone with a senior photo session that captures who you are right now, before the start of your next big adventure.
Headshots
Your headshot is often your first impression. Do you need to update yours for business, auditions, or social media? Want to explore different sides of your personality in front of the camera? My studio is open rain or shine for professional headshots that feel like you.
Families
Your family is beautiful, messy, complex and fun. Let’s take an hour or two to explore that! The photos that result will make you smile for years to come.
Pricing
Session fees for dancers, seniors, and families are $795 and include a $585 credit to apply towards your order. Most clients invest $1,500 or more in their session. Portraits are purchased à la carte in addition to the session fee. All purchased portraits include the high-resolution digital files for your safekeeping and a print for your enjoyment at home. You’ll choose what you’d like after viewing your images, and I’m happy to discuss your goals and budget ahead of time.
Headshot, senior mini sessions and dance audition sessions start at $495 and include 3 digital images.
Dance school photo days and performance photography use high-volume pricing that is affordable for a wide range of budgets.
Location
There are so many great options for your photo session—your favorite park, my studio, your home, or even the streets of your town. I work throughout the Main Line and the greater Philadelphia region, and your session will be customized to fit you.
For outdoor sessions, we’ll plan around the best natural light—typically just after sunrise or before sunset. In the studio, I create light using strobes designed to complement your features, which gives us more flexibility with timing.
