There’s something truly magical about The Nutcracker-
the music, the costumes, and the timeless story come together to create a world of wonder and joy. I recently had the incredible opportunity to partner with a local dance studio in Forest Hills, Queens, to photograph their Nutcracker ballet portraits. Let me tell you—this session was nothing short of enchanting!
Each dancer arrived during their specific time slot, bringing their top outfit choices to truly shine in their portraits. It was so much fun to see the excitement in their eyes as they prepared to step in front of the camera! Every dancer’s session was tailored to capture their authentic energy and personality. From the tiniest Clara to the most graceful Sugar Plum Fairy, we celebrated each dancer’s individuality while paying special attention to their level of practice and dance technique. The results? Stunning portraits that highlight both their artistry and the joy they bring to the stage.

More Than Just Photos: It’s About Connection
At Sweet Sol Photo, we believe that every session is about more than just creating beautiful images. It’s about connection. When dance studios work with us, they get more than a photography company—they get a partner who cares deeply about every dancer’s experience. Families know that there’s a real person behind the art we create, someone who is passionate about capturing these precious moments and celebrating their journey.
This Nutcracker session was a perfect example of why I love what I do. Seeing the pride on each dancer’s face, hearing their families’ oohs and ahhs as they previewed the photos—those moments are priceless. We worked together to create not just portraits, but memories that will be cherished for years to come
