Pastel Pole Portraits is a fun, expressive studio experience designed to capture movement, confidence, and personality against soft pastel backgrounds and clean studio lighting.
These photography sessions are welcoming to all skill levels, whether you’re new to pole or have been dancing for years. The focus isn’t on perfection or advanced tricks. It’s about creating images that feel strong, artistic, and uniquely you.
The two 120-minute group sessions are each limited to 5 dancers and structured so everyone gets around 15-20 minutes of camera time across multiple shooting rounds.
Between rounds, you’ll have time to warm up, change outfits, reset, try new ideas, and cheer each other on in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Choose from five pastel backdrop colors: Lavender, Blush, Sage, Sand, and Powder Blue. Sessions are photographed on a neutral gray backdrop, and you’ll choose your favorite pastel background colors after the shoot during the editing process, allowing you to mix and match different looks across your final images.
You’ll receive 5 professionally edited images delivered through a private online gallery within 3 weeks, with all images provided in both color and black and white versions. You’ll also have the option to purchase additional edited images from your session if you’d like more favorites to keep.
