Cute Valentines Dance Minis

Hello! Happy 2023! I am excited to announce that I am offering Valentine’s Dance Mini sessions on January 21st from 2:30-5:30 p.m. These minis will offer a few props but will focus on form and great lighting. Similar to these of Mia Mohler and Caitlin Varner. Pink and white backgrounds. Read on for details.

Valentines Dancer Minis include 20 minutes shooting time with six edits.

If you want more than one outfit, I suggest scheduling with a friend and getting two sessions in a row. That way one person can be in front of the camera while the other dancer changes. You both get 20 minutes, but don’t have to lose time because you are changing. One dancer per mini.

Come prepared. 20 minutes can give you a lot of great shots if you are prepared with the dance moves or poses you want to do. Once you book, you will receive a confirmation email with more information including the address of the downtown SLC studio. $99 per mini-session.

Kendall ChristinFischer: Old Meeting House Sessions

I run a Facebook group for dancers and I met Kendall in that group. She runs Myriad Dance Co. and dances all over the valley. I first photographed her group, Myriad, in a fun and challenging group session using a wash of colors in the set, This time I got Kendall and Arielle Miller and we shot in the ballroom of The Old Meeting House (now scheduled for demolition). This post will feature just Kendall, because each dancer deserves their own posts.

Kendall dances a variety of dance genres, from ballet, to modern, from hoops to silks. I was struck by how conscientious she is in her work ethic and in her preparation for a dance shoot. I love this kind of mental attitude with dancers as it brings out my best and I find myself even more eager to create with them and give them the very best I can in lighting and a working relationship.

This session was taken during Covid and Kendall brought this fancy bejeweled face mask. We had to get a portrait with it. Does she look part Ninja with it on?

There are a number of options for you when planning a dance portrait session. Starting at $100, there are lots of possibilities. You may find more of Kendall on:
