Working with me as your dance studio photographer or creative dance image photographer means partnering with someone who values reliability, organization and calm confidence at every stage of the process. From the first planning conversation to final delivery, I bring consistent, professional communication that keeps everyone - studio owners, parents and dancers - informed and at ease. My approach is built on clear timelines, organized workflows and a steady presence on shoot days, so you can trust that everything will run smoothly without added stress.
With years of experience photographing dancers, I've refined systems that eliminate guesswork, reduce back-and-forth, while delivering professional images on schedule - because when you work with me, you are working with a partner who is as invested in a smooth, successful process as you are.

Cindy has been the chief photographer for The Dance Factor for the past three years. She has been an absolute joy to work with. She captures everything from candid classroom moments to recital performances and spring portraits with incredible skill and attention to detail. Our students and families love her, especially for the calm, confident way she makes each dancer feel during their photoshoot. Cindy excels at group photos, headshots, and dynamic action shots, and her image quality is always amazing. She is extremely organized, provides beautiful backdrops, and delivers photos in a timely manner. I highly recommend working with Cindy. Her work truly reflects the heart and energy of our studio.
Michael Clark, Owner, The Dance Factor
Cindy Shaver has taken the photographs for the dance studio where my two kids attend for two years. The attention she puts into the photo shoot is unmatched. She is ready with a list of poses and has captured some beautiful memories for us. One of the dance photos she took is one of my all time favorite photos of my daughter. We are already looking forward to seeing what she has in mind for this season.
