My name is Rachael Dyer, also known as Movita Beaucoup. I am a dance photographer living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm a graduate of the Teacher Training Program at Canada's National Ballet School and taught dance in Toronto and the Maritimes for almost 30 years. When you book a shoot with me you are hiring a photographer AND a dance coach. I draw on decades of teaching experience to help you with posing and fine tuning your technique.
I accept bookings from dancers aged 12 years and older (by the date of your shoot). I have a limited number of shoot available for 10-11 year olds each season, in addition to mini sessions for younger dancers. Several years of training is recommended in order to get the most out of your session. I shoot all sorts/genres of dance.

If you’re interested in commissioning a photo shoot with me visit my booking page. Pricing and packages can be found here.
Your fully edited photos will be delivered via USB and digital download gallery. Digital files are generally available within 5-6 weeks from the session. I do not release RAW or unedited images from shoots.
I typically shoot in HRM, Nova Scotia but will happily consider travelling to other locations (in NS or another province). There will be additional fees if booking a shoot outside of HRM. Get in touch to discuss options.
If you're a dancer from outside of HRM and would like to travel here for your shoot, please let me know so we can adjust session times around your drive/schedule. I can also assist with selecting locations if you aren't familiar with the area.
