I had the pleasure of photographing Farrah at the beautiful Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia. Farrah is an incredibly talented dancer who trains at The Dance Company in Mechanicsville, VA, and she is about to start 9th grade at Hanover High School. Her session was designed to capture her love for dance while celebrating the excitement of entering high school as a rising freshman.

The session focused on ballet and contemporary dance, showcasing Farrah’s grace, strength, and artistry. We captured everything from sweeping lyrical movements to powerful jumps, highlighting the skills she has developed through years of dedicated training. Farrah’s outfits were perfectly chosen for her dance portraits, including a lyrical short dress for a dynamic jump, a long flowy lyrical piece for elegant contemporary poses, and a tutu platter for a classic ballet pointe shot that emphasizes her passion for ballet.

Maymont Park provided a versatile and picturesque backdrop for the session, with its lush gardens, wide open spaces, and beautiful natural light that is ideal for dance photography. The combination of Farrah’s movement and the scenic Richmond location resulted in timeless images that perfectly capture her energy, personality, and talent.

Capturing dancers in this stage of life is such a meaningful way to celebrate both their artistry and their growth. A dance portrait session is not only about documenting movement, but also about showcasing individuality, talent, and personal style. Whether you are a high school senior preparing for graduation or a teen dancer wanting to highlight your passion, a custom photography session in Richmond, Hanover, or Mechanicsville creates images you will treasure for years to come.

If you are looking for professional high school photography, dance portraits, or creative senior sessions in Richmond, Hanover, Mechanicsville, or surrounding areas, I would love to create a session that highlights your personality, talents, and style. Farrah’s session is a perfect example of how a thoughtfully planned photography session can combine location, movement, and artistic vision to create beautiful, memorable images.
