Creative dance photography is a specialty of Gemini Visuals that reflects our passion for creative photography and creating art through photography. This beautiful dancer came to us from Surrey Dance Studio Essence of Dance – which is conveniently right across the street from our South Surrey studio – a great commute! Her dance studio ran an Instagram contest, and she was selected as the winner to a mini professional dance photography shoot. You can see many more of our professional dance photography sessions using both fabric or flour on our Instagram stories and account.

I’ve photographed this dancer’s headshots for years, during group headshot days held every year for the competitive dancers at Essence of Dance. So it was great to actually see her dance and her talent! I love creative dance photo sessions as well as coming up with fun ideas to show off a dancer’s beautiful abilities. I also love using my gorgeous maternity dresses from Sew Trendy Accessories in a unique way (you wouldn’t guess these were maternity gowns, would you?!). Capturing your child’s love for dance is a perfect way to celebrate this time in their life. Many parents have told me how much their dancer’s confidence was boosted after seeing their creative dance photos. 

We offer multiple options for dance creative sessions. Many dancers come to our studio with their own ideas, and some simply show up with their talent. Whether you want a quick photo or a full portfolio session, or a group session with some of your dancer friends. We also offer creative group shoots for senior dancers as a perfect way to capture an art piece for graduation.

Watch our announcements on our blog or our Instagram account for our next set of mini creative dance photography sessions. They fill up quickly as more dancers see their friends beautiful photos from their sessions. 

Having done her maternity photos, we welcomed this beautiful momma back into the studio for her third baby’s newborn photos. With 2 beautiful boys already, the new addition in this family was a gorgeous baby girl. We were happy to go all-out girly with this indoor photo session.

Mom loved using our large collection of newborn headbands and hats. We used our infamous peacock prop and our ever-popular rose petal newborn set up. We have a large selection of props and set-ups and can coordinate with you ahead of time via email if you have any specific requests for specific colour schemes, props, poses, or have certain dislikes. You’re also welcome and encouraged to bring in any items you’d like to include. Some possible suggestions: • stuffed animals • personal blankets • sports memorabilia • hats • wedding rings or personal items (veils, jewellery, ring pillows, wedding saris, etc).

We are in love with how these beautiful baby girl’s newborn photos came together!

If you are considering your own newborn photo session, there are a few tips to keep in mind in order to make the day run more smoothly. In preparation for your newborn photos, it is best if you pack your bags the night before so everything is ready. The prevents panic before the session where it’s easy to forget something. Make sure to remember your black shirt or t-shirt for yourself for the baby-in-arms photos. Don’t forget to pack food/snacks for yourself or others attending the session (siblings etc). There are plenty of options for food located around our studio and you’re welcome to step out if you need anything. If other children are attending, it is helpful if you bring entertainment for them or have a helping hand to keep them occupied or to take them home.

We encourage you to be as relaxed as possible to ensure a stress free environment for baby. Newborns can react to a parent’s mood, so sessions may go less smoothly if you’re stressed and anxious. Once we start the session it may take several minutes for me to soothe baby into a sleepy state.

We welcome you to view our portfolio of other newborn sessions and then contact us to book your newborn photo shoot. 

We met this momma and her wonderful family last winter for her maternity photo session. She went all-out to capture baby number three’s belly photos by booking our maternity package that included both indoor and outdoor sessions as well as a milk bath session. We started the session with family photos in our South Surrey studio and did several photos featuring some of our maternity gowns by Sew Trendy Accessories. Milestone sessions refers to Baby’s First Year packages to mark milestones in your child’s life  – starting with maternity, their birth, 6 months, and a first birthday cake smash session. 

Many new moms-to-be hesitate to book maternity photos, and yet by the time they have their second or third baby, they are more comfortable with pregnancy and wish they would have captured images when expecting their first children. Maternity photos are a lovely way to document this special time in your life, that you may not ever experience the same way again. We are well-versed in posing expectant moms-to-be and have a wide variety of wardrobe and prop ideas in order to create gorgeous photos that you will treasure after your baby is born. 

We then ventured outside to Elgin Heritage Farm in South Surrey to brave the cold to capture some striking pregnancy photos of just mom and dad in the snow. No matter the time of year, rain, snow or sunshine, shooting outdoors takes advantage of natural light which makes for dreamy photos. After posing the client in the snow, we went indoors to our studio location in South Surrey, to warm up with a relaxing milk bath session for this mom-to-be. Surrounded by beautiful flowers she was able to relax in a huge bath of milk!

We truly captured some unique images and memories for this mama’s third pregnancy. Visit our portfolio page on our website for more ideas for your maternity session and feel free to contact us to book a milestone session for your family. 

Several months ago, I had a booth for Gemini Visuals at the first Dance Xpo in New Westminster put on by Just Dance Magazine. The beauty of setting up a booth at trade shows or events that are in a different location than our South Surrey Studio is that we get to meet new faces and tell more people about our creative dance photography packages.

As part of this expo, we offered a free creative dance session as a door prize to one winner. Surprisingly, the winner traveled all the way from their home in Kelowna for this dance photography session! She’s a talented dancer, and we had a great time capturing her marvelous jumps and acro poses. Each person brings their own experiences and techniques to their dance photography session, and sometimes we are able to create an abundance of photos and poses that we haven’t done before, simply because of what the dance brings to our studio.

Working with young talented dancers has long been a passion of Adrienne’s, a former dancer herself. Take a look at our Instagram account for stories of our most recent dance photoshoots, and our portfolio to see exactly what can be achieved in our Surrey Studio for a dance photography session. 

Contact our studio to learn more and book your own creative dance session. With flour or fabric, outdoors or indoors, we are open to creating beautiful art that you or your dancer with cherish for years to come. 

It’s a boy! We were honoured to capture this boy number three’s newborn photos for this fantastic family of five for their last session in their Baby’s First Year package. This bouncy baby boy is a spitting image of his brothers and I’m sure he will have loads of fun keeping up with them. 

This gorgeous family did one of our Baby’s First Year Packages including her maternity and newborn session.  Elgin Heritage park was a beautiful setting to capture some unique and fun belly photos for baby number three. Mom used one of our beautiful maternity gowns courtesy of Sew Trendy Accessories. We looked forward to seeing her to meet baby number three when baby arrived!

Adrienne is a proud supporter of Peace Arch Hospital and works closely and frequently with the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. Each year Adrienne volunteers her time to photograph the Great Pumpkin Run/Walk. Rain or shine (or cold!), she’s always there bright and early capturing all the fun moments from this annual event. 

We’re so grateful to be part of such a great community, and work with so many fantastic people. This is event is always so much fun, as is all of the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation events.

Our new studio address is #15 15515 24th ave, South Surrey, BC. We’re currently completing renovations, so we’re closed for the remainder of July. We will be re-opening in August once we have the new studio set up.
