Dance Portraits 2024

Four years. That’s how long I’ve been honored to photograph the dancers at Soul to Sole Studio in Walker, Louisiana. Every single year, I walk away feeling inspired, fulfilled, and deeply grateful.

What began as a huge leaphas grown into something I never expected; a tradition. A rhythm. A reunion. Watching these dancers evolve year after year & watching some of them grow from tiny beginners into polished, expressive performers has been one of the most beautiful gifts of my career.

From the littlest ones with wide eyes and sparkly shoes to the seniors preparing for their final recital portraits, it was all magical.

But no matter how polished it gets, it never loses its heart. I still get butterflies every time I click the shutter. I still tear up when I see a dancer beam at their photo. This is more than a job. It’s a creative partnership. It’s a memory in motion.

Thank you again, Sole to Soul, for letting me be a small part of something so meaningful. Year four has been my favorite, and I can’t wait for year five.

With love,
