Manchester Dance Photography by Brett Harkness Photography

Emily Johnson

"Taking my 13-year-old dancer/daughter to Brett Harkness for portraits was an incredible experience. It's so much more than just typical dance imagery—it's about capturing the emotion, passion, and strength she puts into every move. Truly unforgettable."

At Brett Harkness Photography, we offer more than just dance portraits—we create an experience that captures the heart and soul of your child’s passion for dance. Our beautifully lit portraits not only highlight the grace and technique of each dancer but also reveal the emotion and dedication that make them truly unique. Every shot is carefully composed to showcase the beauty of movement, the intensity of focus, and the joy that dance brings. With a professional approach and a deep understanding of what makes dancers special, we ensure that every image is a timeless reflection of their journey, passion, and talent. Come to us for portraits that go beyond the surface and truly capture the essence of your child’s dance story.
