Personalized Dance Photos of Your Kids

Andrews Photography recently had the opportunity to create some fun dance photos for two of our past clients. Chandler who dances at Woodbury Dance Center and Corrina who practices at Del Monico Dance in Woodbury MN. Both kids would not go to the others dance school photo sessions to do buddy photos.
If you have kids in dance you know about dress rehearsal day and the fast paced photo shoots you get. Your lucky to have your child in front of the camera for those solo shots for a minute. Andrews Photography takes great pride in creating one of a kind images for parents who want more than the standard one pose photos you get at a dance studio shoot. We are looking for parents who would like to celebrate your child’s achievements and get the image that reflects your child’s personality.

Steps to great dance photos

1. Know your child and plan accordingly on the time the shoot takes place
2. Be prepared with the outfit selection prior to the studio session
3. Tell your child its a play date not a photo session, or ask them if they would like to be a paid model for the day. “Models have to do what the photographer asks them”
4. Parents be calm and relaxed kids pick up on your body language, when your stressed they get stressed too.
5. Fill the studio in on what your child responds well too at this stage of their development.

The goal is to maximize a great experience for everyone and create wonderful images to cherish for a lifetime.

Event Photography, Hmong College Prep Academy

Andrews Photography, Event Photography for Hmong Prep Academy,

We documented The Hmong Prep Academies Ribbon Cutting Ceremony – outside on the stairs of the main entrance to the school. The ribbon cutting had plenty of sunshine but the temperature was a bit chilly. The Formal Program was documented in the new Auditorium, We also took photos of their new Gym & H.S. Cafeteria while people celebrated.

What Hmong College Prep Academy is about, free tuition for students, all day everyday Kindergarten a freshly cooked breakfast and lunch for ALL students, busing for all with door-to-door pick-up/drop off for students in grades K-8 (Twin Cities & select suburbs), Uniforms provide consistency among students, Convenient St. Paul location, just off Snelling by the State Fairgrounds, 8 AM to 3 PM school day, 30% of staff members fluent in Hmong for non-English speakers. Low 15:1 student to teacher ratio and a a focus on college as a end result for each student.

They also offer After school academic support, Sports, clubs, and the arts…there seems to be  something for everyone.
