Dance Portraits

Capture the Movement. Freeze the Emotion.

Dance is more than movement—it's a story told through the body. At Lovelace Portraits, we specialize in dynamic, expressive dance photography that captures the strength, emotion, and artistry behind every step.

What to Expect

Our sessions are built around what makes you you—your style, your movement, your energy. We use professional studio lighting, creative direction, and a photographer who understands dance to make sure every image hits like choreography in still form.

Choose from:

  • Clean studio shots with dramatic lighting

  • Stylized outdoor shoots (urban, nature, or themed)

  • Conceptual portraits that match your creative vision

We’ll guide you through poses and freestyle moments, capturing the perfect balance between technique and expression.

🤔 Frequently asked questions

  • Bring 2–4 dance outfits that showcase your style and flexibility. This can include leotards, flowy skirts, form-fitting sets, or anything you feel confident dancing in. Avoid busy patterns and logos, and feel free to bring layers for variety.

  • If your package includes a comp card (or you add one on), you’ll receive a professionally designed, two-sided layout with your best images, dance stats (like height, training, styles, etc.), and your name or stage identity. It will be delivered in both print-ready and digital formats for auditions or submissions.

  • Flour dance photography is a dramatic and creative style where dancers leap, turn, or pose while flour is thrown or released around them. It creates explosive, cinematic visuals. It’s completely safe, done in-studio with a controlled setup, and includes cleanup. Just be ready to get a little messy—it’s part of the fun!

  • Absolutely! I offer group and team sessions that include solos, duos, and full team shots. Pricing depends on the group size and whether you’d like individual mini sessions as well. Reach out for a custom quote.
