Erica has an Advance Pay registration system through “PhotoDay”. A link and access code for your child will be sent to the email address you provided to Bella Ballet/EMPOWER.
Didn’t get a code? Text 240-307-4530 with your child’s name and we will send it to you with the link to register.
Registration is VERY FAST – your child’s info (including class) has been pre-loaded. Just purchase an Advance Pay credit and you’re done.
You do NOT have to decide what to buy before you see the image. You must however choose an Advance Pay option based on how many images you want to be able to choose from when the images are published.
Your total Advance Pay credit will be applied in full towards the print or digital image package of your choice.
ALL dancers will be included in the class photos - regardless if you have purchased a credit or not!

We have options for you to avoid having to purchase an entire photo package for each child. You can buy ONE Advance Pay credit for BOTH or ALL of your dancers. The $150 (for 2 siblings) and $200 (2 or 3 siblings) Advance Pay options can be shared.

YES!! While you must purchase an Advance Pay credit before picture day to have your child’s portrait taken, you can wait to see the image(s) before deciding what to buy! Print and digital packages, canvases statues, class photos and smaller items area available. The product menu is viewable when you enter your child’s code. The packages are all customizable - so if you have multiple images, you can use whatever image you want to fill the package.

Just want the class photo? Your job here is done! If your child appears in the class photo,
you will receive an email after picture day when the class photos are available. No Advance Pay is required. NOTE: The digital copies of class photos are NOT for sale.

Yes, of course! Erica and her team will capture all three recitals on June 8 and will get as many action shots of your superstars on stage as possible! Image galleries will be posted and emailed a couple weeks after the recital. If you don’t use your Advance Pay credit in full for Picture Day purchases, you can use it towards recital images.

Don't hesitate to email, text or call Erica directly. She is happy to help.
