Dance Studio Photo Shoot with Grace Koznarek

Grace and I have done a few photo shoots over the years, but my favorite was our very first one together in my photo studio in Crystal Lake. i have several dance floors set up in the studio, so it was easy to move around and get different looks. My favorite shot of her from that session was a Pas de Chat silhouette that featured her red hair.

We did a number of shots against the white background before moving over to the black background for even more artistic shots with edgy lighting.

In 2021, Grace took 3rd in the North American YAGP Finals in Tampa for the Senior Age Division.

Down below are some of our shots from our session together in my studio in December 2018.
