We absolutely LOVE photographing dancers! Here’s an image from Maddy’s senior portrait session. She is so lovely, both inside and out! The studio images turned out so beautiful. Then we went to her home and created some stunning action images as well.

For more dance images, check out our Music & Dance gallery on our website at www.cliquephotography.com under the Seniors gallery.

We love photographing children dancers, too! Bring your little one in for a special session soon.

Now that the craziness of the holidays has passed, we’d like to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our clients and friends for helping us enjoy a terrific year!

We enjoyed getting to know you all and welcome you into our photographic family.

Getting to know you has enriched our lives, and we are grateful for your continued friendship and support.

And remember, once you’re in our photographic family, all of your future sessions are FREE!

I absolutely love this image! It’s one-year old Joshua and his mom & dad… getting jiggy with it in the studio! We had the pleasure of photographing Joshua when he was just days old, and it’s amazing to see what a talented and joyful little boy he’s becoming!

We’ve been so lucky with beautiful weather this fall… and have enjoyed photographing many families and seniors in the great outdoors.

Here is one of our favorite images from a recent outdoor session.
