TERMS & CONDITIONS

PREPARATION FOR YOUR SHOOT: 

Please prepare your dancer for the photo shoot. They should be wearing clean tights and ballet slippers. 

PERFORMANCE: 

Many of the ballerinas have multiple roles, so they need time to change costumes. This means that some children may not be able to gather together for a group photo. In this case we provide two individual photos with different poses instead of a group photo. Additionally, I may have volunteers helping me behind the scenes. Please understand that this is not an individual studio shoot, and we are trying to give as much time as possible to each child. I strive to give you the best possible images of your dancer.

COPYRIGHT: 

Britsova Photography will own the copyrights to all images. 

I will provide you with top images of your child that are web-ready and printable through my website. Once your pictures are ready, I will send you a link to download them. If you wish to order prints, you can pick them up at the Richard Print Lab in Santa Clarita. Please note that this option is not included in my price and depends on the lab’s pricing. You are welcome to use the images in any digital format you prefer, such as Instagram, Facebook, or online casting 

******BELOW IS A GENERIC MODEL RELEASE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. IT BASICALLY GIVES HOLLYWOOD DANCE SHOOT THE RIGHT TO USE THE IMAGES WE CREATE TOGETHER IN OUR PORTFOLIO & ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA. IT’S VERY SIMPLE AND VERY GENERIC*****
