Black and white photos just hit differently. All you need is the dancer and the feeling.

Halfway through recital season and still smiling through the glitter and chaos ✨💃 This year marks 5 years of Nehamashots recital magic — and wow, what a journey it’s been! From dancer ➡️ recital photo team member ➡️ now capturing your joy-filled moments under my own name… it’s been a sparkly ride 🎉
I LOVE how fun recital season is — the energy, the twirls, the tiny heart hands (like this sweet first pic 🫶), and all of you making it unforgettable 💖
It’s Friday, so let’s make it fun: say hello in the comments if you see yourself in this post! 👋📸

The end of the school year always hits a little different—bittersweet in the best way. Not only do I get to capture these milestones as a photographer, but as a dance teacher, I’ve watched some of these seniors grow up. And now they’re off chasing new dreams 🥹
It means the world to capture these moments—especially when I’ve known you beyond the lens. Here's to fresh starts, big moves, and a summer full of celebration. 🎓✨
#ClassOf2026 ... I’m ready when you are 🫶

Been quiet on here, but felt like sharing something special before I head into a week of movement + magic.
This look was a little gothic, a little Spanish, and a lot of me — mixing my love for fashion, dance, and a little drama.
More soon, maybe.

Originally, I edited out the paintings. But this image really gives me all the feels like artwork. So I decided to keep the paintings in the photo to portray that same feeling to everyone.
One and done just like the old days #flashbackfriday

Ever peeked into an old photo album and wondered if your family really could've been that fun and cool? Now that's an experience I think everyone should get the chance to enjoy. 😉 Your stories, brought to life through prints, become the proof that you lived, laughed, and embraced every moment. Don't just scroll, print your journey! Your stories deserve more than being lost in the digital noise.📸✨

A good old-fashioned #TiltTuesday for ya! 💥 My younger self was all about testing creative, fun new things, and now, as the more business-focused version of myself, I'm realizing I need to make time for a few experimental photo sessions.👽 I snapped these pics in 2020 and didn't share them because of the different lighting and what I perceived as imperfections. Looking back, 👀 I genuinely LOVE these photos and might bring out the beauty dish for more sessions. What do we think?🤠

Guess how long it took me to DIY this grid on Photoshop. Lol--Just guuueeessssssssss. Longer than it takes to use the scrl app, but for whatever reason, it isn't available for Android. *gasp* Yes. It's true. I am Team Andriod. Appreciate me for my photos and not my cellphone choices. 😅🫣🫢
Anyways, it turned out pretty good for the first one I made. I didn't overthink it and just had fun with it! It was difficult because this gallery had soooooo many gems. 💎💎💎 Ashley & Liam are the perfect inspo for an intimate wedding. The best part was when they had their first dance together, every single person was seated and watched them share their moment. Not a single conversation in the background. It was truly special. ❤️
