What my clients are saying about their photoshoots!

We had much to celebrate this past year so over the summer we did a photoshoot with Silpa for Bella's graduation gift. If you are thinking about doing a photoshoot with Silpa for your dancer I HIGHLY recommend her.

Silpa was a breathe of fresh air to work with.

She's so calm and knows exactly how to get the PERFECT picture. She walked us through every step from helping us choose clothing to finding the perfect place to take the pictures. She was so professional to work with and had such a kind heart.

When it was time to see the pictures they took my breathe away!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Silpa for capturing my girl in her element. I'm SO HAPPY we chose you to capture this moment of celebration.

Working with Silpa has always been a bucket list item for Anna and we loved being able to celebrate all of her accomplishments through these beautiful portraits. Silpa is truly a master at capturing a dancer’s persona and she has a way of bringing out a dancers full confidence! We love how Anna’s portraits were perfectly crafted to bring out both Anna’s softer and more fierce sides. Each photo was so well thought through and Silpa was so patient and positive in directing each shot! Her knowledge of Irish dance and what looks good on each dancer is invaluable! We cannot thank Silpa enough for this wonderful experience! We will truly cherish these photos forever!

“It had been 5 years since our last photoshoot with Silpa. Rowan was a young girl the last time we met. A couple things stuck out to me this time.  The first was how comfortable Rowan was with Silpa (again). They started chatting and laughing almost like old friends. 

“The second thing was the next-level professionalism and flexibility Silpa displayed with us.  She wanted the best portraits possible as much as we did - it was cold, drizzly and miserably windy on the day of our appointment. Silpa and Rowan toughed it out for a while at our first location. Even so we got some of our favourite portraits from there! 

“Silpa offered to extend our time and try a different location to see if we would have some better luck and these turned out beautifully too.  I really appreciated this above and beyond opportunity.

“This was our second photoshoot with Silpa. We were thrilled with everything about it - the styling assistance in the months leading up to it, the experience of the shoot itself, the locations Silpa selected were gorgeous and of course the final products are stunning and we will cherish them forever.”

We were so excited to work with Silpa for Cam’s Senior pictures and she did not disappoint! We were worried about the cold and rainy weather in Scotland, but Silpa made sure that everything ran smoothly. She is a complete professional and was involved in every step of the process, from planning the location to giving advice on outfits, colors, and poses. She made sure she knew what kinds of portraits we were looking for and tailored the shoot to give us so many beautiful photos to choose from. Silpa put so much thought and preparation into every detail of the photoshoot and we were thrilled with the results! These are portraits we will keep forever! 

"Rowan was attending her first major competition at Nationals and just received her first made-for-her dress. We wanted to capture those accomplishments and excitement with some fabulous pictures to keep for a lifetime. As a parent, it was easy. We just met Silpa and off she went with Rowan to work her magic - Rowan had great fun with Silpa.

“I felt the products were fabulous considering you were getting one of the best photographers out there! I absolutely love Silpa’s work. The artistry and the technical brilliance and knowledge of Irish dance to have each dancer show their best form, technique and capture their love of dance. So happy we went for it!"

I booked a session with Silpa and let me tell you it was such an amazing experience! I came out of an almost 9 year retirement to compete in the Senior Ladies age group and thought that a photoshoot would be a great gift to myself for putting the work in to get ready for the Nationals stage and also a great confidence booster since at lot changes in those years. I felt so comfortable and confident in my self as a dancer and person through out the entire shoot! I highly recommend any Senior or adult dancer book a session with Silpa. It’s a great way to not only celebrate ourselves, but to appreciate all the time, effort, and sacrifice we have put in to make it this far in our dance careers!

I have been enamored with Silpa’s photography for several years- her ability to capture the beauty of every dancer is amazing!  When Riley was asked to be the cover star for IDM with Silpa as the photographer, it was the opportunity we had been waiting for.

Silpa is so patient and easy to work with and makes every dancer feel like a super star.  The entire photoshoot was such a fun and amazing experience and both my girls walked away with huge smiles and even bigger ones once we received the pictures!

Doing a photoshoot with Silpa was a bucket list item and now we have gorgeous pictures to treasure for a lifetime! Run, don’t walk to book your shoot!

Silpa is an artistic genius!  From start to finish the entire experience was seamless.  With an eye for detail, capturing the perfect shot seems second nature to Silpa and her ability to communicate what she would like to see from her subject makes the photoshoot even more enjoyable.  When you love what you do it shows, and Silpa is no exception.   

Our particular session was even more exceptional due to an injury.  Not wanting to miss the opportunity to capture Piper's achievements, we went forward with the photoshoot.  Silpa directed the shots in such a manner as to not put any additional stress on the affected leg and the results were nothing less than spectacular!!

I wanted a special way to document my dance journey that would allow me to be able to look back on it years into the future. After seeing Silpa’s beautiful work through social media, I knew I had to work with her - and it was the best decision!

Having very minimal exposure to photoshoots, let alone dance photoshoots, I was a little nervous and uncertain as to how the process would go. Silpa walked me through step-by-step, was incredibly warm and professional, and made it a delightful and fun experience. Her top-notch skills as a photographer and artist, paired with her experience as an Irish dancer make her the perfect dance photographer.

Thank you Silpa for a fantastic experience and beautiful keepsake! 

I have been such a fan of Silpa's Irish Dance photography for years now, and was excited, albeit a little nervous, to have the opportunity to do a photoshoot with her in Montreal during the World Championships. I shared with Silpa my insecurities and concerns about being awkward in front of the camera as well as my vision for photos that represented the strength and grace with which I approach Irish Dancing.

Silpa was reassuring, calm, and encouraging and kept the process so manageable and easy from start to finish. She was an absolute pro on the day of the shoot. She chose a dreamy location in Old Montreal and calmly directed me through a series of poses and queues which brought out a side of myself that I have never seen on camera but always hoped was inside of me somewhere!

She is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable of her craft. She knows just how to communicate and bring the best out of her dancer-clients. I could not be more thrilled with how my pictures turned out and cannot recommend Silpa highly enough!

Having a photoshoot with Silpa is truly a one of a kind experience! The moment I met her, I felt an instant connection and knew the photoshoot was going to be amazing.

Every photo shares not only a memory, but a story and makes me fall in love with Irish Dance all over again.

Having the opportunity to work with Silpa, alongside my sister, was so special! Harlow and I are so fortunate to share the same passion, and with our portraits, we can cherish it forever!

Silpa is truly one of a kind and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to work with her!

I wanted to celebrate Sophia’s amazing year and try to capture a little bit of the incredible person she has become.

Silpa is someone who cared deeply about Soph's experience at the photoshoot, and the quality of the final product. The confidence she had gained shone through clearly in the photos! Soph has been offered product ambassador and modeling features based on the photos.

Dancers should treat the photoshoot as a collaboration with a good friend who also happens to be an incredibly dedicated artist. Your result can open doors you didn't even know were there. The final products are treasured by Soph's grandparents, and the positive impact on Soph is priceless.

In a year (2020) where there has been so much going wrong, this incredible photoshoot was the best decision. Thank you Silpa!

Over the years I had seen Silpa's photos, and I knew that I wanted her to photograph Emily. As Emily approached her senior year of high school, I decided that doing photos with Silpa would be the perfect way to get senior portraits done. I wanted something special Emily would have to remember her days as a dancer.

I chose Silpa for the sheer beauty of the photos she take. Her ability to capture a dancer's personality. Her ability to get just the right pose! she knows Irish dance and can speak the dance language!

I became enamored with Silpa's photography through her Instagram. Such vibrant colors and a more modern edge to the dance portrait. I knew I had to have her document my daughter's Irish dancing. It was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. Professional, well thought out details. and top notch communication. My daughter had the absolute best time shooting with Silpa! Silpa made her feel at ease in front of the camera; giving her very clear direction and large amounts of patience going after the "just right look". The finished product is simply beautiful, and will be treasured for a lifetime.

I chose to do a photoshoot promoting my school, Kanaley School of Irish Dance. We needed endearing photos of our beginners to attract more beginners. We also needed powerful photos of our advanced dancers. Rince and Repeat captured all of this perfectly!

It was very beneficial that Silpa is experienced with Irish dance and photography, because I think a few of the girls were nervous at first. Silpa made everyone felt very comfortable during the shoot.

I highly recommend any Irish Dance instructor to consider a photoshoot with Silpa. I use my photos from the shoot for social media, flyers, and our website. Each photograph Silpa took transcends to anyone who wishes to sign up for lessons.

My favorite part of the whole experience was working with Silpa! She's so nice and thoughtful and took the time to be sure the technique and look was just right for our dancers. She knew what she wanted the girls to do and she was extremely patient and hard working to ensure the photos were just right.

Everything came out perfect! You have an eye and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your talent with our school. This photoshoot boosted the confidence in our girls. Thank you!

We absolutely loved Kennedy’s photoshoot.  Because Silpa is also an Irish dancer, she was able to provide helpful suggestions from outfit choice to dance poses. Silpa’s amazing attention to detail and her passion for dance and photography combine to create beautiful portraits. We would highly recommend Silpa!

I chose to do a photoshoot with Silpa because she has a dance background. Her dance knowledge means she knows what is flattering and aesthetically pleasing from a dancer's perspective.

I was worried that, being a less competitively-advanced dancer, I'd have a disadvantage in terms of how many poses I'd be able to do and how well my photos would come out, but it turns out I was completely wrong. 

I loved everything about the experience! Just being able to enjoy myself throughout the whole process without being overly self-conscious and being able to share and celebrate my dance story.

No regrets whatsoever and I'm so so so happy to have so many beautiful photos to treasure. It's clear that you put an incredible amount of effort into creating such gorgeous high end products, from the photos themselves to the packaging. 

I'll never be able to thank you enough for the wonderful experience, Silpa!
