Happy Birthday, Vivi!

Today we’re celebrating one of my original ambassadors — Vivi (@balletvivi). She’s been in front of my camera longer than almost anyone, and her dedication, artistry, and willingness to try absolutely anything have shaped so many of my favorite creative sessions.

From outdoor adventures to low light, high key, holiday themes, powder, rain, sunflowers, and Valentine portraits — Vivi always shows up ready to create, ready to explore, and ready to push herself as an artist. Watching her grow year after year has been a privilege.

Happy Birthday, Vivi! Here’s to another year of creativity, passion, and unforgettable moments together.

Whether she’s dancing with West Jersey Youth Ballet, teaming up with Vivi for portraits, or joining specialty sessions with her sister Brielle, Olivia always shows up ready to work, ready to grow, and ready to create something beautiful.

Happy Birthday, Lily!

Today we’re celebrating one of the most dedicated and artistic dancers on our ambassador team — Lily (@lilyana.en_pointe). From studio portraits to sunflower fields, the Silk Mill, and Columcille, she brings intention, grace, and a beautiful work ethic to every session.

Her flexibility (thank you, homeschooling!) and her passion for dance make creating with her such a joy. I’m grateful she’s part of this ambassador family and excited for everything she’ll continue to grow into this year.

Happy Birthday, Elijah!

Today we’re celebrating one of the most creative and multi‑talented artists on our ambassador team — Elijah (@elijahinthearts). Whether he’s dancing, acting, modeling, or teaming up for one of his signature duets, he brings energy, imagination, and heart into every session.

It’s been amazing watching him grow across so many art forms, and I’m grateful for every moment we’ve created together.

Happy Birthday, Elijah! Here’s to another year of creativity, confidence, and big artistic adventures ahead.

Happy Birthday, Rylea!


Today we’re celebrating one of the brightest young artists on our ambassador team — Rylea (@balletlifeofrylea). Thoughtful, dedicated, and quietly powerful, she brings so much heart to every session we create together. Whether she’s stepping onto a stage, exploring a new location, or sharing her ideas between shots, she always shows up with intention and grace.

Watching her grow this year — as a dancer, as an artist, and as a collaborator — has been a joy. I’m grateful she’s part of this ambassador family, and I can’t wait to see what she creates next.

Happy Birthday, Rylea!
Here’s to another year of creativity, confidence, and beautiful moments ahead.


Happy Birthday, Hope! Celebrating Our Dance Ambassador & Miss New Jersey Candidate

Happy Birthday, Hope! Today, we are turning up the music and striking a pose for a very special member of the Dabour Photography family. Please join me in wishing a very Happy Birthday to our wonderful Dance Ambassador, Hope!

A Multi-Talented Force in Motion Hope is far more than just a “face” for our studio; she is a powerhouse of creativity and discipline. As a fantastic dancer and an innovative choreographer, she brings a unique perspective to every session we create together. Watching her translate emotion into movement is always a highlight of my work, and her artistic growth over the years has been nothing short of inspiring.

The Road to Miss New Jersey Beyond the dance studio, Hope is currently on a mission that requires just as much grace, poise, and dedication. She is officially in the quest to regain the Miss New Jersey crown!

At Dabour Photography, we believe in supporting the dreams of our ambassadors. That’s why I am thrilled to announce that I am officially sponsoring Hope in her pageant journey. From the stage lights of the theater to the spotlight of the pageant runway, Hope carries herself with a level of professionalism and kindness that makes her a true role model for young women across the state.
