Dance Photoshoots - Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my photoshoot?

I recommend bringing tons of different pieces so that I can help decide what looks best! I always tell my dancers to bring a mix of streetwear, dancewear, and accessories or props. Some good staples to bring are a black leotard and a pair of jeans. To make things more efficient, come with your first, favorite outfit already on.

What should I bring to my photoshoot?

Some things that would be a good idea to bring are: a blanket or towel to change under (when a bathroom is not present), water, baby wipes for feet, snacks for longer shoots, a brush, and hairspray. Any creative props or accessories are definitely encouraged!

Should I wear makeup to my photoshoot?
I usually recommend a natural look when it comes to makeup. If you are unsure, it is always best to wear less and then bring the extra makeup so you can ask me.

What is your cancellation policy?

50% Deposits are non-refundable. Shoots can be rescheduled, but only if they are done at least two weeks in advance. For rain room/studio shoots however, if you cannot make it, you can reschedule your time for a normal outdoor shoot if it is done at least 4 weeks prior to the shoot. This is because I still have to pay for the rental of the space. Collab/group shoot deposits are nonrefundable and cannot be rescheduled. Cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows cannot be rescheduled and require an additional $100 cancellation fee. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, it is recommended in this case to find a replacement dancer to take your photoshoot, to avoid the cancellation fee.

Can I share a session with a friend or sibling?
Yes! A fee accounts for up to two extra dancers and extra images included in your album. For larger group shoots, contact me for a quote. Siblings can share a session at no additional cost.

Can I get headshots at my dance session?
Yes! Make sure to remind me you want headshots at the beginning of your session.

When will I get my photos?
Your private online gallery will be available in about three to five weeks from the session. There is a priority-editing fee if you would like to receive your photos in 1-2 weeks.

Can I book a studio shoot?
Yes! A fee will be required for the rental of the studio. Please let me know if you would like to book a studio shoot.

Can my dance studio book a company shoot day?
Yes! Please have your dance studio owner reach out to me at clairefabrephoto@gmail.com.
