Our Art of Dance portrait sessions include

• your portrait session
• a personalized viewing of your images for purchase
• tickets to our Art of Dance Gallery Show
• a credit of $500 to apply to your favorite image as a wall portrait

Yes, your deposit of $280 is collected to offset costs involved with our Gallery Show. This will be an event at the Punta Gorda Women's Center. The Punta Gorda and Charlotte County Chambers of Commerce, friends and family of our dancers, and the general public will be invited to view our gorgeous dancer portraits. 

We will showcase the art and motion of dance, along with the impact that dance has on the dancer, their family, and the community.

We are looking for dancers of all ages and all stages, so anyone over the age of two is invited!

We are located in downtown Punta Gorda, Florida in a beautiful 4,000 square foot fine art studio.

Our address is

225 W Virginia Avenue

Punta Gorda, FL 33950

We set aside designated time for your portrait session (60-90 minutes). and we see our clients back to back all day.  We work hard to have your session start on time.  If you're late, you would lose that time from your session so that our next guest can start on time.  If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, we will help you reschedule your appointment. A rescheduling fee of $75 will apply.

Yes! If our studio is fully booked, we will be happy to put you on a stand-by list in case new appointments open up. Please call 941-621-6974 for help with this.

Our studio is scheduled by appointment only.

You can reach us by phone Monday - Friday 10am-6pm.

For our Art of Dance sessions, we recommend two dance outfits. Please come dressed in a leotard and leggings, with your hair and makeup camera ready.

We are looking for movement and interpretation, so we recommend hair down and loose, flowing skirts, and beautiful lines.

We have a dressing room at the studio where you can change your outfits, even though we know you're probably used to a quick change on the side of a stage!

Please remember to bring appropriate shoes for the dance wardrobe you choose.

Judy Lynch is a professional portrait photographer. 

In addition to professional training as a portrait photographer, Judy brings 20 years of experience as an elementary classroom teacher, giving her the magic touch with children of all ages.

From start to finish, your session will last an hour and a half to two hours.

At this appointment is the ONLY time that you will see your images and the ONLY time that initial bonuses will be applied to your order. Because many of our guests drive 4 hours or more to our studio, the purpose of a 90 minute appointment is so that no family has to come back to the studio for an ordering appointment or pick up appointment.  We offer a convenient "one trip only" experience. We can ship your order right to your home!

Because we are a custom studio and reserve your time just for you, most session fees are non-refundable. However, if circumstances beyond our control force us to reschedule, you will not be charged a rescheduling fee and your session fee will follow you. If you must reschedule for any other reason, the initial reservation fee is forfeited and there is a $75 rescheduling fee.

Parents are not generally included in our Art of Dance experiences. However, they are required to attend. If you have a special request, please let us know at the time of booking.

We are a fine art studio, specializing in wall art portraits. Products are sold separately. No portrait is included in your experience fee. With our Art of Dance portrait sessions, we are happy to gift you with a $500 certificate that can be applied to your purchase.

Immediately following your portrait session, you will enter our theater where you'll see all of your poses displayed on the wall in a beautiful slide show. You'll be helped through the selection process, given the opportunity to see your image choices life size, and choose your framing.

We will show all of your product choices and help you decide how to display your favorite portraits. Expect this portion of our appointment to last 40-60 minutes. Childcare is provided as children will not be in the theater room during image selection. 

Although no purchase is necessary, most people fall in love with what we create and want to have these images as a keepsake to look back on forever...long after their children outgrow the magic of childhood.

Since every family has differing needs and desires for how they display their artwork, we do not have pre-made packages. You will be given the opportunity to put together the pieces that are perfect for you. When you place your order at the time of your appointment, certain bonuses and specials may be applied. 

We have found it beneficial to give starting prices so that families can make plans for what they might decide to choose. 

Our 8x10 desktop portrait is $500 and many times one is chosen as an add on to a wall portrait order. Wall art begins at $1900. Our custom folio boxes and albums begin at $2550. We also offer digital images for purchase of any pose that you choose to purchase in printed form. We have a great selection of products that work for a variety of budgets and tastes. 

Be sure to ask about our payment plans.

We can't wait to decorate your home with portraits that you and your children are sure to love for generations to come.

We specialize in printed artwork, so we do not sell digital images from our portrait sessions. However, we do offer digitals, with  artistry included, of any images purchased in printed form. (gift prints, desk sized prints, wall art, custom albums, or folio boxes)

Yes! We are a family business and offer short, in-house financing AND extended payment plans through Affirm (subject to the client's credit rating). Payment plans are a really great way to get exactly what you want.

We pay our artists to begin artwork on your portraits with your down payment, so orders cannot be changed or cancelled once placed. 

Upon full payment, we finalize your artwork order, which can take 6 to 8 weeks to receive. 

Fantastic question! Just have them give us a call to schedule a ‘Premiere’ appointment where they will be treated to a cinematic experience in floor to ceiling HD in our beautiful theater room.

Featuring a gorgeous slideshow, it is something we recommend the entire family come and enjoy. Grandparents regularly thank us for being able to view them in such large scale.

For out of town family, we can schedule a Zoom Call where they can see the images and make their purchases over the computer.

Of course! We pack our portraits VERY carefully! We ship our portraits to our families for their convenience.

Our experiences are for individual households. Cousins and friends must book a separate session, but if you reserve them back-to-back, we can create a few poses together for you to add on to your purchase.

If you have more than one child in your household, they are all invited to participate. We will normally photograph each child individually, and then photograph all of the children together whenever possible.
