Recital Picture Day

Recital Picture Day is a beloved tradition — dancers in full costume, ready to shine before they ever step on stage. These sessions capture that excitement with clean, classic portraits your families will treasure for years.

Each dancer is photographed individually against a classic white background, giving every costume and every dancer's personality the spotlight it deserves. It's simple, timeless, and consistent — exactly what makes recital photos a keepsake.

Studio packages start at $65.

What to Expect

How does the process start? Every Recital Picture Day begins with an email or call consultation to plan the schedule around your studio's needs.

Where are sessions held? Sessions take place on location at your studio, so dancers can go straight from photos back to class or rehearsal.

What should dancers bring? Dancers should arrive in full costume, hair and makeup done, ready to pose — no additional outfit changes needed since portraits are taken against the classic white backdrop.

Are headshots included? No — Recital Picture Day is focused on classic costume portraits, not headshots.

How many images are included? Each dancer receives a set number of high-resolution images, depending on the package selected. Packages start at $65.

Does the studio get anything? Yes — studios receive all images from the day complimentary.

How long is turnaround? Recital Picture Day turnaround is typically 2 to 3 weeks, so families have their images well ahead of the show or as a lasting memory afterward.

Can families purchase more images? Yes — additional images are available for purchase through a secure online gallery.
