Irish Dance Photoshoot at North Ave Beach


This is the 3rd time I've shot with Violet! A talent Irish dancer who also trains ballet! We combined both disciplines and had an amazing photoshoot at North Ave Beach in Chicago.

Irish Dance Photography


I've had the pleasure of photographing a couple of incredible Irish Dancers, including a cover photoshoot for one of the most recognizable viral Irish Dancer, Mary Papageorge. And this is the third time I've worked with Violet.

Multi Talented

It's tough enough to learn just one dance, it's hard to imagine trying to master both Ballet and Irish Dance. Violet looks incredible during a gorgeous Chicago sun rise.

What a journey!

I first photographed Violet back in 202o when she was just a baby, and watching her blossoming into a smart, determined and an incredible dancer, has been a pleasure! Check out my first Irish Dance Photoshoot with Violet.
