These photos will be action photos of dancers on stage doing what they love.  This allows you to be in the moment and enjoy the performance. 

Below is a portion of a sample gallery.

The photographer will be at recital rehearsal and recitals allowing plenty of opportunity to capture some unique imagery of the dancers.   

Some may be just of your dancer, some will include other dancers as the images are action images of the dancers on stage. They are not posed images, they are images of your dancer having fun on stage and that often includes other dancers in the images. Other things that impact the images is the dance choreography and where the dancer is on stage.

We spot your dancer using an AI technology. 

The week before recital, you will receive a link to upload a photo of your dancer.  This will also be available at the rehearsals.  Be sure to do this step!

Each dancer will have their own Individual Photo Gallery. These galleries are not shared so a gallery will need to be purchased for each dancer. 

If your dancers are in the same routines, there is a chance that they will be in some photos together however it will only focus on 1 of them so there will most likely be missed images of the 2nd dancer.  

For the Video: Of course this video is of the whole stage and does not focus on just one dancer. If you'd like the video for your family, you only need to purchase this once. 

Examples:

If you have 2 dancers and would like photos & video add the following to your cart:

• 1 - BUNDLE - Full Video & Full Individual Photo Gallery (1st dancer)
• 1 - Full Individual Photo Gallery (2nd Dancer)

If you have 3 dancers and would like photos only

• 1 - Full Individual Photo gallery (1st dancer)
• 1 - Full Individual Photo gallery (2nd dancer)
• 1 - Full Individual Photo gallery (3rd dancer)

The videos will be delivered separately from the images. It will be delivered digitally and will need to be downloaded to a device to save before the gallery expires. 

This will vary depending on how many numbers your dancer is in.  Images are captured at recital rehearsal and the day of recital so there will be plenty of opportunity for your dancer to appear in images however, we cannot guarantee a certain number.  

No you cannot.  With the AI spotting feature for your dancer only, packages will include images your dancer only.  Another dancer will have different images. 

You will be provided a personal use release for the images.  This means you can print them and use them for personal only. They cannot be shared with or sold.
