We're excited to welcome photographer Emily Charais back to Prima for another fantastic Photo Day on Wednesday, May 1st and/or May 15th!

This is a wonderful opportunity to capture your dancer in costume and celebrate all their hard work this season. Once we complete costume fittings, we will know which date works best. For now, save the date — sign-up opens April 15th

Here’s what you need to know:

Session Options & Pricing

20-minute session – $300 | 10–15 photos. Best for dancers with multiple costumes or those wanting both portrait and creative studio-style shots.

Scheduling Notes

Sessions will be grouped into 30-minute blocks. If siblings or friends want joint photos, please book back-to-back sessions in the same block. There will not be additional time for these photos outside of scheduled blocks. There will be up to 3 dancers max per block unless all are 5-minute sessions (no costume changes). Costume changes will occur within the block; dancers will rotate during sessions so each receives their full photo time

Example: 3 dancers, 3 costumes each → Dancers rotate every ~3 minutes until all 9 costumes are photographed.

Please allow your dancer to stay for the full 30-minute block if booked for a 10- or 20-minute session.
