The dancer portrait experience you’ll treasure forever.

Imagine finally having stunning portraits that capture not just how your dancer looks, but who they are - their strength, their grace, their determination, and that spark you see every time they step onto the stage.

No stiff poses, no awkward smiles - just authentic, powerful images that reflect their passion for dance and the pride you feel watching them grow.

Let's chat about your dream dancer portraits.

Fill in your details below and I'll be in touch.

Does this sound like you?

  • Your dancer’s headshot is a little… outdated. Auditions and agency submissions often pop up quickly. Without a professional portrait on hand, you’re left scrambling to find something “good enough.”

  • Your camera roll is overflowing - but nothing stands out. You have plenty of rehearsal snaps and rushed pics in the kitchen before comps, but none that truly capture your dancer’s talent.

  • You have no record of their progress. Your dancer has spent countless hours perfecting each pose and move, but you have no record of how far they've come over the years.

  • Full phone, empty walls: You have hundreds of photos of your dancer on your phone, but you’d love something beautiful and tangible on the wall at home - something that celebrates all the hours of training and the love your dancer pours into what they do.

Life is busy. And it's not Just you.

Classes, comps, rehearsals… the weeks blur into months, and before you know it, years have passed without any professional portraits of your dancer. All those hours of training and growth, and nothing that truly captures it.

Your dancer’s photo shoot is all about celebrating their artistry. I'll capture the strength in their movements and the elegance in their lines, while creating images that feel true to who they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re thinking “Is this for me?”, let me help.

Where does the photo shoot take place?

Your session takes place in my private, modern studio in Sutherland (40 minutes south of Sydney CBD)

Do I get the digital files?

Digital files are not included and can be purchased on the day (starting from $595). I also offer beautiful hand-made artwork products like framed prints and canvases, which can be purchased separately.

What age is best for a dancer portrait session?

There’s no “perfect” age – every stage of your dancer’s journey is worth celebrating. Whether they’re just starting ballet in their first tutu or preparing for their final competition season, we capture the grace, technique, and personality they’ve developed so far.

What should my dancer wear?

Most families choose their dancer’s favourite leotard, tutu, or costume, plus a few extra outfits for variety. Bring ballet shoes, tap shoes or pointe shoes if they have them.

Can we include different dance styles in one session?

Absolutely. If your dancer trains in ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, or contemporary, we can capture them all. Each look can be styled and lit to suit the mood and movement of the dance style.

How do you help my dancer feel comfortable in front of the camera?

My sessions are relaxed, encouraging, and tailored to your dancer’s personality. I guide them with simple posing tips, help with hand and foot placement, and create a fun, pressure-free environment so they can shine.

My latest work

G'day! I'm Jay

I’m a portrait photographer based in the Sutherland Shire in Sydney.

I’m committed to making sure your dancer’s unique story is told through beautiful, hand-crafted artwork. My approach is all about getting to know your dancer so I can create portraits that truly reflect who they are.

With over 18 years under my belt as a full-time photographer, I spent 12 years photographing weddings before founding Delight Images in 2020.

Being a dad of three gorgeous girls has shown me how precious these photos are, and I’m passionate about capturing those real, raw moments that families can cherish forever.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at home with my family, soaking up those everyday moments (and sneaking in a scotch and Game of Thrones ep when I can!).

If you’re after a photographer who gets you and your “why,” I think we’ll get along famously!
