Dance Photography

Showcasing the beauty of dance through stunning, dynamic dance portraits.

 

A group poses together wearing white outfits for a formal studio photo shoot.

Capturing the grace and energy of dance and turning it into striking images the dancer and their families can treasure for years to come - that’s my passion! 


Whether it’s recital photos at a dance studio or 1-on-1 sessions in my studio, I love working with dancers of all ages. With more than 20 years of dance photography experience, I know how to shoot every style of dance and how to highlight the unique personality and skill of each dancer I work with.

I specialize in dance portraits that have an emphasis on movement. From the elegant technique of pointe dancers to the explosive action of jazz leaps, I love capturing dancers in motion. The result is dynamic, captivating pictures that showcase the dancers’ talents. In other words, not your typical recital photos!

“When you put Jill Christine Photography behind the camera and a dancer in front of it, you get MAGIC.  We have been opting for a more casual dance photo session over purchasing a bunch of recital costume photos each spring and, well, it’s pretty incredible seeing two people’s passions collide on the 3rd floor of an old downtown building.  Book a session with her for your dancer; you won’t regret it.”

“We had an amazing experience working with Jill for my daughter's first dance recital pictures. My daughter LOVED being dressed up - not camera shy in the slightest - and Jill was able to capture her spirit and energy in the photos.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jill photographing our daughter in her dance costumes. She is very attentive to detail and fun to work around. My daughter had a great time posing and Jill was able to capture her energy and love for dance. We can’t wait to have another photoshoot with Jill in the future!”
