About Your Dance Photoshoot
On this page, you’ll find information about our dance photography sessions, including images from previous sessions and resources to help you prepare for your photoshoot. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
Our Dance Photoshoot Process
Consultation
We begin with a consultation in which we learn a bit about the dancer(s). It's important for us to know whether you are a ballerina, contemporary dancer, specialize in some regional or ethnic style, or something else. We factor that into our plan for the session.
Photo Session
While we do capture some poses, we are most interested in having our dancers dance. We ask that you create a Spotify playlist and share that with us. When we begin the session we put on your chosen music and you dance. The session is collaborative and co-creative.
Image Selection
You - the dancer - will choose the images. Because of the nature of this work there are typically hundreds of images for you to review.
This was my first dance photoshoot experience, and even though I was nervous, he put me at ease and was able to take great headshots and action photos. – Catherine
Doc does so well at capturing his models at their best! It was a joy to work with him and a pleasure to see the images of myself in a way I haven’t seen before! I’m grateful for this experience and I hope to work with him again! – Sasha

Complementary Digital Images
Painted Portraits
In addition to prints of various sizes and types, custom framing, digital products, and other physical products, we also offer digitally painted portraits. This process, done on the computer, takes your photographs and turns them into portraits that look like they were hand-painted. We only provide this option for prints and canvases that are 20″ x 24″ and larger.
Keepsakes & Wall Art
Prints
Prints might be something to put on your coffee table or hang on your wall. When we talk about prints we include photographic prints on professional photographic paper or specialty surface (wood, metal, acrylic, for instance).

Laser-Etched Crystal
Books & Albums
Frequently Asked Questions
Because dance is so expressive of the individual we ask that you bring 3 – 6 outfits that you feel comfortable in and/or you feel represent you and your style. This might include anything from a simple leotard and tights to an elaborate costume to streetwear. We ask that ballerinas who dance en pointe bring their pointe shoes and a tutu or skirt.
You will receive up to 20 social media images of your choice. Each image will be processed to create the best overall look and impression.
Your Viewing & Ordering Appointment
Because each person or family has different goals, we don’t package products. Rather we get together with you after the session and after we’ve had a chance to go through the images. At that viewing session, you will decide what images you want and what products.

Directions to the Studio
Take Burnet Road to Polaris Avenue. Polaris Avenue is only on the east side of Burnet Road and is the first left south of Research Blvd/183. It is across the street from U-Haul and there’s a sign for Buddy’s Place on the corner of Burnet & Polaris.
Turn onto Polaris and drive past the island in the middle of the street. Take an immediate left into the complex and you will be facing Building D. Take an immediate left and an immediate right and you will be in the parking area between Buildings C & D and looking straight at Building B. Park anywhere in this lot. Walk to the walkway in front of Building B and turn right. The studio is the last door on the left and the signs above the door and on the window say Doc List Photography.
If the lot between buildings C & D is full go around Building D to the lot between Buildings D & E (you’ll see the roll-up garage doors on the backs of the businesses in Building D). Go to the walkway on your left between Buildings D & B. The studio is the first door on your right.
