Welcome to Dance Portfolios
home to Australian Dancers ™
A former ballet dancer, my love for dance will never fade.
My passion has now been channeled into high quality photographic images. With help from my husband, a photographer too, we create fine art photos that celebrate the art of dance, especially for accomplished dancers.
Our photographs have now appeared in publications, promotions, and in marketing.
