We just met Silpa and off she went with Rowan to work her magic - Rowan had great fun with Silpa.

“I felt so comfortable and confident in myself as a dancer and person throughout the entire photoshoot. I highly recommend any senior or adult dancer book a session with Silpa. ”
I booked a session with Silpa and let me tell you it was such an amazing experience! I came out of an almost 9 year retirement to compete in the Senior Ladies age group and thought that a photoshoot would be a great gift to myself for putting the work in to get ready for the Nationals stage and also a great confidence booster since at lot changes in those years. I felt so comfortable and confident in my self as a dancer and person through out the entire shoot! I highly recommend any Senior or adult dancer book a session with Silpa. It’s a great way to not only celebrate ourselves, but to appreciate all the time, effort, and sacrifice we have put in to make it this far in our dance careers!

“Doing a photoshoot with Silpa was a bucket list item and now we have gorgeous pictures to treasure for a lifetime!”
I have been enamored with Silpa’s photography for several years- her ability to capture the beauty of every dancer is amazing! When Riley was asked to be the cover star for IDM with Silpa as the photographer, it was the opportunity we had been waiting for. Silpa is so patient and easy to work with and makes every dancer feel like a super star. The entire photoshoot was such a fun and amazing experience and both my girls walked away with huge smiles and even bigger ones once we received the pictures! Doing a photoshoot with Silpa was a bucket list item and now we have gorgeous pictures to treasure for a lifetime! Run, don’t walk to book your shoot!
“With an eye for detail, capturing the perfect shot seems second nature to Silpa and her ability to communicate what she would like to see from her subject makes the photoshoot even more enjoyable. ”
Silpa is an artistic genius! From start to finish the entire experience was seamless. With an eye for detail, capturing the perfect shot seems second nature to Silpa and her ability to communicate what she would like to see from her subject makes the photoshoot even more enjoyable. When you love what you do it shows, and Silpa is no exception.
Our particular session was even more exceptional due to an injury. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to capture Piper's achievements, we went forward with the photoshoot. Silpa directed the shots in such a manner as to not put any additional stress on the affected leg and the results were nothing less than spectacular!!
“Her top-notch skills as a photographer and artist, paired with her experience as an Irish dancer make her the perfect dance photographer.”
I wanted a special way to document my dance journey that would allow me to be able to look back on it years into the future. After seeing Silpa’s beautiful work through social media, I knew I had to work with her - and it was the best decision!
Having very minimal exposure to photoshoots, let alone dance photoshoots, I was a little nervous and uncertain as to how the process would go. Silpa walked me through step-by-step, was incredibly warm and professional, and made it a delightful and fun experience. Her top-notch skills as a photographer and artist, paired with her experience as an Irish dancer make her the perfect dance photographer.
Thank you Silpa for a fantastic experience and beautiful keepsake!
“She is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable of her craft. She knows just how to communicate and bring the best out of her dancer-clients. I could not be more thrilled with how my pictures turned out and cannot recommend Silpa highly enough!”
I have been such a fan of Silpa's Irish Dance photography for years now, and was excited, albeit a little nervous, to have the opportunity to do a photoshoot with her in Montreal during the World Championships. I shared with Silpa my insecurities and concerns about being awkward in front of the camera as well as my vision for photos that represented the strength and grace with which I approach Irish Dancing.
Silpa was reassuring, calm, and encouraging and kept the process so manageable and easy from start to finish. She was an absolute pro on the day of the shoot. She chose a dreamy location in Old Montreal and calmly directed me through a series of poses and queues which brought out a side of myself that I have never seen on camera but always hoped was inside of me somewhere!
She is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable of her craft. She knows just how to communicate and bring the best out of her dancer-clients. I could not be more thrilled with how my pictures turned out and cannot recommend Silpa highly enough!

I wanted to celebrate Sophia’s amazing year and try to capture a little bit of the incredible person she has become.
Silpa is someone who cared deeply about Soph's experience at the photoshoot, and the quality of the final product. The confidence she had gained shone through clearly in the photos! Soph has been offered product ambassador and modeling features based on the photos.
Dancers should treat the photoshoot as a collaboration with a good friend who also happens to be an incredibly dedicated artist. Your result can open doors you didn't even know were there. The final products are treasured by Soph's grandparents, and the positive impact on Soph is priceless.
In a year (2020) where there has been so much going wrong, this incredible photoshoot was the best decision. Thank you Silpa!
“So many who do Irish dance devote so much time, money, and energy to the sport. We think the driving, feising, blinging, etc. is never going to end. Well, it does. And to have these photos will be a keepsake we can have forever. ”
Over the years I had seen Silpa's photos, and I knew that I wanted her to photograph Emily. As Emily approached her senior year of high school, I decided that doing photos with Silpa would be the perfect way to get senior portraits done. I wanted something special Emily would have to remember her days as a dancer.
I chose Silpa for the sheer beauty of the photos she take. Her ability to capture a dancer's personality. Her ability to get just the right pose! she knows Irish dance and can speak the dance language!

“Silpa was thoughtful and took the time to be sure the technique and look was just right for our dancers. She knew what she wanted the girls to do and she was extremely patient and hard working to ensure the photos were just right.”
I chose to do a photoshoot promoting my school, Kanaley School of Irish Dance. We needed endearing photos of our beginners to attract more beginners. We also needed powerful photos of our advanced dancers. Rince and Repeat captured all of this perfectly!
It was very beneficial that Silpa is experienced with Irish dance and photography, because I think a few of the girls were nervous at first. Silpa made everyone felt very comfortable during the shoot.
I highly recommend any Irish Dance instructor to consider a photoshoot with Silpa. I use my photos from the shoot for social media, flyers, and our website. Each photograph Silpa took transcends to anyone who wishes to sign up for lessons.
My favorite part of the whole experience was working with Silpa! She's so nice and thoughtful and took the time to be sure the technique and look was just right for our dancers. She knew what she wanted the girls to do and she was extremely patient and hard working to ensure the photos were just right.
Everything came out perfect! You have an eye and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your talent with our school. This photoshoot boosted the confidence in our girls. Thank you!
“Silpa’s amazing attention to detail and her passion for dance and photography combine to create beautiful portraits.”
We absolutely loved Kennedy’s photoshoot. Because Silpa is also an Irish dancer, she was able to provide helpful suggestions from outfit choice to dance poses. Silpa’s amazing attention to detail and her passion for dance and photography combine to create beautiful portraits. We would highly recommend Silpa!
“No matter what level you’re at, if you have a genuine love and passion for dance, it’ll definitely show in your photos.”
I chose to do a photoshoot with Silpa because she has a dance background. Her dance knowledge means she knows what is flattering and aesthetically pleasing from a dancer's perspective.
I was worried that, being a less competitively-advanced dancer, I'd have a disadvantage in terms of how many poses I'd be able to do and how well my photos would come out, but it turns out I was completely wrong.
I loved everything about the experience! Just being able to enjoy myself throughout the whole process without being overly self-conscious and being able to share and celebrate my dance story.
No regrets whatsoever and I'm so so so happy to have so many beautiful photos to treasure. It's clear that you put an incredible amount of effort into creating such gorgeous high end products, from the photos themselves to the packaging.
I'll never be able to thank you enough for the wonderful experience, Silpa!
