Happiest of birthdays to Zoey (@zoeydoesdance) — one of the most creative, passionate, and joy‑filled dancers I’ve ever had the privilege to photograph. Zoey has been part of my world for years now, not just as a dancer in front of the camera, but also as someone who’s stepped behind the scenes as my photo assistant. She brings the same energy, curiosity, and fearlessness to both roles, and it’s been incredible watching her grow.

This is Zoey’s third year as a Dabour Photography Dance Ambassador, and she’s already made her mark with her bold ideas, adventurous spirit, and willingness to try anything to make a photo unforgettable. Whether she’s climbing to a spot I casually point out or diving into a neon‑paint concept without hesitation, Zoey shows up ready to create.

She’s a standout dancer with a huge heart, a sharp artistic eye, and a personality that makes every session better. I’m grateful to have her as part of the ambassador team — and even more grateful to celebrate her today.

Happy Birthday, Zoey! Here’s to another year of creativity, courage, and unforgettable moments.

It was difficult to pick on a few of the many great images I’ve created with Zoey but here they are:
