So you have a fabulous costume and 15 minutes of choreography. Great!! Sounds like you’re ready to go out into the world and meet your adoring public. May I suggest one more thing?

GO SEE A GOOD PHOTOGRPAHER!

A nice publicity photo can make all the difference in the world. It transforms you from the average club dancer into a glamorous, slick, professional Diva. This one step will pay off for years to come.

The photos throughout this website were taken by the following photographers. They were all extremely willing to work with me and get me what I wanted. (.. just a tiny note… most photographers are so happy to do anything out of the ordinary – they're so relieved to be taking exotic bellydance photos instead of the usual wedding portraits that they’ll probably spend a little extra time with you to make sure the pictures come out great. After all, it’s an interesting addition to their portfolio as well as yours.)
