Why will Marion's be your best choice for Dance Portraits?
We have been doing dance portraits the right way for 30 years. John Marion has expressed a belief that dance is the ultimate form of art. When we dance we are celebrating life in an expressive way like no other way. Dance is joy. Our passion for dance is a reflection of the joy and celebration we innately have. Trust me, John will NOT let you down. He takes his art seriously as well, freezing a single moment of time and capturing forever the dancer's spirit.
You will obviously have friends approach you to take these shots. It's normal to feel guilty to say "no" to someone who has been generous enough to offer their services. But you must step back from that emotion and realize you are committing and obligating your dance families into this equation as well. There are horror stories of amature photographers who would like to be better, but just don't have the proper skills, equipment of personality to do what a professional is trained to do. Because of this, you may have to be firm about wanting to keep your reputation high by hiring only the best for the job. Your best approach will be to graciously accept their offer but decline the job to them. What you have done is given your dance families the best option by selecting a professional. And it becomes a win win situation when it reflects on you and your dance school.
It is also a win win situation when you have to choice to receive a portion of the fees collected. We have several options that you can select as your compensation for having Marion's Studios do your portraits. Along with the aforementioned, another choice could be 30 x 40 framed composites of each dance group. Some schools have more than one. The pictures are large and the kids love seeing themselves in this beautiful display for your front room. Finally, the third choice would be to return the compensation to your families by reducing the package cost. Please contact us at 586-727-9906 if you have any questions about our streamlined approach.
As a side note, you will be rest assured that we have NEVER been off schedule by more than a few minutes when the schedule is set up according to our guidelines.
