Dance Portraits

That Make an Impression
Capturing the beauty and grace of dance through photography

Meet Tiia

I'm glad you're here! I'm passionate about capturing each dancers unique spirit and showcasing their talent through a collaborative partnership and beautiful photography. Working with dancers is a dream come true and my inspiration is my 13 year old daughter. Seeing her shine with confidence behind the camera is something I want other young performers to experience. Whether it's ballet, contemporary dance, or hip-hop , we are dedicated to preserving the artistry and energy of dance through our photography. I can't wait to work together!

Recital Portraits

Recital costume portraits are a great way to commemorate performances and recitals. Your dancers have put in a lot of hard work and we want to capture who they are as dancers! We've been photographing volume school portraits for 9 years and apply our efficient and streamlined approach to dance studio portraits. We will work with your teachers to select poses that are appropriate with the age group and level and will have a dedicated poser to help with positioning and to help things flow smoothly. Parents will receive a private online gallery of their dancer's individual poses, with a variety of prints, packages and digital image options available to choose from.

Competition portraits can take place in your dance studio or outdoors. We will customize an experience that will be memorable! Families will also have the opportunity to select from a variety of prints, packages, and digital image options.

What Others Are Saying About Our Dance Photoshoots

  • Working with Tiia was nothing but a breeze! As a director you have a million things on your plate and a lot of decisions to make daily. Luckily Tiia and her team really do take a lot of the work off your plate when it comes to planning and executing picture day. She was well prepared with all materials. Of course you worry about people working with the babies and how they will handle crying children. Tiia, being a mom herself, handled this with love and care. She brought out toys and little games to help the children feel calm and safe. She was so patient with each child. It was clear how dedicated she was to making sure every family had a selection of good photos to choose from. Needless to say, we very much have enjoyed our experience with Norsym Photography the past two years and we cannot wait for picture day next year. Thank you for making this such a special event at our school!
