Best Dance Photographer | Portland, Oregon

In mid 2015 I started working with Fired-Up Dance Academy to do dance photos for Nationals. I was more than excited to work on this project and collaborate with them. This amazing dance studio is located in Tigard. My daughter started dancing there in 2014 when we moved back to Oregon. We instantly fell in love with the studio, the teachers and the dancers. It has become a huge part of our life. Fired-Up Dancers are family and we are so happy to be part of it.

Throughout the year I photographed so many amazing dancers. Their talent is incredible. It was so much fun coming up with new dance photo concepts, as well as capturing rehearsals and everyday studio moments. My passion for dance photography has been found and I have loved being part of these talented dancers lives. It has been so fun getting to know them all!

I have 1000’s of dance photos on my computer and I love so many of them. Selecting just a few favorites was very hard. Here are some of my favorites from larger projects.
