Before Photoshoot Day
Step 1. Pay Your Sitting Fee
Sitting fees cover our photographers' prep, shoot, and editing time. They DO NOT include prints or digital files.
Please pay your sitting fee in order for your dancer to participate. The exact fee will depend on the specifics of your Luxury Session. You will receive an email from your dance studio or organization with the sitting fee price. Please find the correct sitting fee amount and pay your sitting fee online at this link at least seven days prior to your scheduled photo day or as soon as possible.
Important: Add Dancer Info at Checkout when paying Sitting Fees
When paying your Sitting Fee, you must include your dancer’s full name, studio, class name, and scheduled photo time. This helps us match your payment to the correct student and keeps the photoshoot on schedule.
At checkout, click “Add a note to the seller” (see the left side of the checkout screen). In the note box, write something like:
Example:
Ava Thompson – Elevation Dance Studio – Ballet Level 1 – Saturday 10:00 AM
Without this info, our photographers will need to manually search through the studio’s full class list to locate your dancer, which can delay your photoshoot session and impact the schedule for dancers after you. Thanks for helping us stay organized!
Sitting fees do not include any prints or digitals.
For more info, please see the Sitting Fee page or scroll down to the FAQ section at the bottom of this page.
Step 2. Book a Time
Luxury Sessions booked by your studio DO NOT need to book a time slot. We have a set schedule that will be sent out to dancers via email from your studio.
Luxury Sessions for individual dancers must be scheduled in advance. To book, email us at info@famousphotos.ca to reserve your session time.
On Photoshoot Day
For Luxury Photo sessions
Your session will take place at the agreed location and time. Plan to arrive early, bring any props or costumes, and come ready to move! Take some time to prepare for your session to get the most out of your time. Come ready and warmed up to have your photo taken. Think of some poses, actions, movements that you excel at and make you feel like a star! We will help you perfect that pose or movement in a relaxed and creative manner focused on capturing your unique personality and push you to get that "WOW" photo!
Please make sure your dancer arrives 10 minutes early in full costume with hair and makeup done (lighter makeup is acceptable). We will take both a class group photo and individual portraits (please purchase sitting fee for multiple poses). Your group pose and individual pose options will be set by your instructor during regular class time. Dancers please remember your poses! Our younger dancers are not required to remember poses.
Get the most out of your photos and look your best....
- remove nail polish, temporary tattoos, jewelry
- no elastics on wrists
- wash your pink ballet tights
Most importantly, have fun and bring your smile!
