Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all! Everyone is welcome to get a headshot. Location is at Concept Pavielle Ballet School, but is entirely separate from their programming.

  • Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before your session, or however long you feel you'll need to prepare beforehand. There are bathrooms on the 4th and 5th floor available to use for last minute touch ups. Additionally, there will be a standing mirror setup in the lobby for your convenience.

  • The backdrop is a light blue-toned grey (see examples above), which helps broaden the color options dancers can wear. Avoid anything that would blend into the background such as grey, sage green, or any unsaturated grey-tinted colors. Both black and white are ok.

    Oftentimes dancers wear leotards and tights for these shoots, although no photos will capture anything above the waist. That said, feel free to wear sweatpants for bottoms! There's only time for one outfit, unless additional was added to the package, so plan accordingly.

    Typically dancer's will wear their hair in a slick back bun. However, hair down is ok too! It's recommended to look into any requirements or preferences from applications you'll be attaching the photo to, prior to the session. There's only time for one hair style, unless additional was added to the package, so plan accordingly.
