Our next Dance Ambassador spotlight features the beautiful Emma, whose session took us back in time with an old-world Victorian feel at Colonial Williamsburg.
Unlike many of her past photoshoots that have been more dance-centered, Emma wanted this highlight session to reflect who she is outside of dance. She wanted the images to capture her interests, personality, and quiet elegance, and Colonial Williamsburg, with its timeless architecture and rich history, was the perfect backdrop.
We first met Emma years ago, (she was actually our very first dance client!), and she’s also one of the first friends our daughter made when she started dancing. It’s been such an honor to watch her grow into the amazing young woman she is today, both inside and outside of the studio.
One of the most memorable moments from her session was the dramatic weather that rolled in. The skies darkened and the clouds rushed toward us, but Emma never flinched. She carried on with such poise and professionalism that you’d never guess a thunderstorm was seconds away in her final images. She truly embodied the grace and resilience of a pro.
This session is a beautiful reminder that photography doesn’t always have to focus on just one thing, sometimes it’s about capturing the many sides of who you are. With Emma, we were able to highlight her love of history and horror, her personality, and her style in a way that felt natural and authentic to her.
Scroll through for some of our favorite images from her Colonial Williamsburg session. We couldn’t be more thrilled to share this special highlight!
