Lucy and Alice | Minneapolis, St. Paul, Twin Cities Minnesota | Family and Dance Photographer Emily Charais Photography

Alice and Lucy.

What happens when you blend an idyllic day is spring with a beautiful, talented set of sisters in the most adorable town? Magic. That’s what happens. I’ve known these girls for some time, but they had never been in front of my camera. I am so happy this isn’t true anymore. They are so naturally beautiful, confident, and fun.

We started our session as the family portion of the shoot in a small town north of Stillwater. These girls obviously have a wonderful bond as sisters and I absolutely loved watching them interact. We turned to the dance portion of the session later in the evening, and WOW. The light and this wonderful hard working girl just did some magic. I loved every minute of it! Please enjoy this session!

Emily Charais is a professional boutique photographer serving the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. She specializes in ballet, with a vast amount of knowledge about technique and the physiology of the body. She uses that knowledge to push her clients to go further that they thought they could go. The result is cleaner technical photos and photos that the dancer didn’t know they could produce. Emily knows how to correct dancers to get these results in a friendly, fun way. As a former dancers, Emily also knows how to get the shot in very few tries. She can feel when to click the shutter, which allows for a wider variety of photos in the session.
