Nutcracker Photography Portraits

Sunday, November 16

9am-5pm by Appointment

Photography by Rosselyn Photography, former professional ballerina and photographer.

*Additional appointment times will be added past 5pm if currently offered appointments fill up, but we cannot go past 6:30pm. Spaces are first-come come-first first-served. You may see that our Company dancers book multiple time slots…this is because they have multiple costumes and need extra time.

*Unfortunately, the following costumes will not be ready in time for November 16th, due to them being new this year and hand-made. They are still under construction: Party Girls, Clara’s Friends, Macaroons - one of the three tutus are ready. You may take photos in the tutu we have ready, but your performance tutu may be a different color. Macaroon tutu bodices are yellow, pink or apricot. The pink tutu is ready.

Sunday, November 16th we will be holding a picture day, open to all youth performers in The Nutcracker to come have their portrait taken in costume! Portraits are taken at Bay Area Ballet Conservatory by professional photographer and former professional ballerina, Rosselyn Ramirez, who specializes in capturing dancers.

HOW IT WORKS!

STEP 1: Schedule an appointment time (deadline to schedule is Wednesday, November 12) If your dancer has multiple costumes, dancer must schedule an additional appointment time for each costume. Alternative dates and times for photography are not possible. Sibling/family photos also need to be scheduled as a separate appointment. DON’T FORGET TO COME BACK HERE AFTER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR STEP 2 - PAYMENT. Payment must be received to secure appointments. Payment not received will result in the release of the appointment to another dancer.

If you need to change your scheduled appointment time, you must contact lindsey@bayareabc.com to make a change.

STEP 2: Fill out the order form below. Once we receive both an order form and you have made your photography appointment(s), you will emailed an invoice. Please allow up to 48 hours to receive invoice. Invoices will be due upon receipt to secure your appointment time. Paid invoices are not refundable.

STEP 3: Show up to your photography appointment early with hair and make-up already completed. Dancers will then be helped into costume by BABC Staff and Volunteers. If you are late to your appointment, we may not be able to squeeze you back in. So, please be on time. If we are running behind schedule, it is due to making sure we get the best images for the dancers. Thank you for your patience.
