When you’re preparing for professional cheerleading or dance team auditions, your photos must make a lasting impression. From NFL and NBA dance teams to top collegiate squads, directors expect images that radiate confidence, athleticism, and professionalism. That’s why dancers and cheerleaders from across the country travel to New Haven, CT for their audition photography sessions.

The studio is conveniently located minutes from Tweed New Haven Airport and Union Station (Amtrack and Metro North)

 

"Hi Mark, I hope you are enjoying these posters as much as we enjoyed working with you! The image is perfection! Thank you for your commitment to excellence. We appreciate you!"

~ Tracy Sormanti - New England Patriots Cheerleaders

 

Cheeleader and Dance Team Audition Sessions

 

Last season Mark had the privilege of working with clients who went on to make professional squads like the New England Patriots Cheerleaders, Boston Celtics Dancers, Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, Las Vegas Raiderettes, Connecticut Sun… Many others made it to final auditions for various NFL, NBA and collegiate squads.

Mark has photographed the New England Patriots Cheerleaders head-shots, roster, and poster images for the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 squads as well as countless alumni for other professional teams

During your photo session you will have the same photographic experience as the Professional Cheerleaders.

Photographs are just a part of the audition process. There are also applications, interviews, etc… There is no such thing as being too prepared.

Mark is proud to be partnered with The Prep Talk personal development and branding company that helps bring the best you to life on paper and in interviews. Whether it’s for a spot on the sidelines, a position in the corporate world, a school internship or Miss America stage… they can help you!
