dance — Lauren D Cress Photography

a dancer myself, i love being able to combine two of my greatest passions into one solid art form

there is so much joy and power in being able to freeze a moment in time in which we can see the unstoppable force that is the human dancer

throughout my time photographing dance, I have had the pleasure to work with local dance studios and departments, as well as esteemed organizations such as Jacob’s Pillow, David Dorfman Dance, Urban BushWomen, and Boston Ballet

keep scrolling to see the different types of dance photography I engage in!
