The session is Free - 

Buy only what you love.

No payment is required to participate. I offer sessions without any upfront session fee, so dancers are welcome to sign up and be photographed with no obligation to buy.Families can choose to order afterward—only if they wish. I send automatic email reminders, but there is never any pressure to purchase. This allows each family to view their dancer’s images first and make decisions based on what they genuinely love.

Privacy 

Each family receives a secure private online gallery and can only view their own dancer plus the group photos that dancer is in. Once the images are ready, I’ll send a direct email to each parent with a secure link to view their dancer’s photos. This ensures that every family has time and privacy to review their images at their convenience, with no public display of photos.

A picture for the Ages.

Each Shining Stars dance photograph will stand the test of time. Those portraits will tell a story of your children’s journey. It’s not just about showing off; it’s about engraving memories into your home. They’ll always bring back those pinnacle moments and remind you of the way your children were and the things they accomplished. The price list is available here.

5 Minute Sessions, Headshots, Group shots, Costume and Action Shots.

We encourage our dancers to plan out the shot they want down to the pose. The costume, leotard or clothes to wear should also be contemplated beforehand. Once you go in the room our teachers will help the dancers achieve technical perfection in order to have these shots be as great as possible. Please be on time and register as soon as possible as spaces are limited. 

All Star City School of Ballet will get at least one Headshot.

Please consider May 5th on your calendar. We will ask you to get here in a schedule ranging from 4 to 6pm on Monday the 5th. Once your dancer has gotten their headshot they can leave. To schedule any other shots please fill out the following form.
