Mirror Image Dance Academy Photos
News - 8/1/2009 - A photo video of the West Bend rehearsal has been created. For your enjoyment, check it out in our blog!
We are delighted to have been selected to photograph the dress rehearsals for the Appleton, West Bend and Mequon locations! The photos are action shots - and what is dance if not action?! This page will serve as an information board to the discounts we're offering, expiration dates, and links to the photo galleries.
News 7/8/2009 - We've added a final round of discounts with additional time to place your order. Please read/reread the information below carefully. Also see the addition of a special discount on prints with the purchase of a proof book! Links to the Photos:
- Appleton 6/11 Rehearsal posted on 6/15/2009 - Note that we did not have access to song names for this day, so if you don't see your dancer's song, look at the albums that start with "Costume" followed by a description of the costumes.
- Appleton 6/12 Rehearsal posted on 6/15/2009
- West Bend Rehearsal posted on 6/21/2009 - All dances are posted in alphabetical order (not chronological). Note that where dances were performed by multiple class groups, our albums may have split a class across two albums.
- Mequon posted on 6/30/2009 - Conditions were extreme - low light being the most challenging. We were forced to shoot with slow shutter speeds leading to more motion blur and noise than would usually be acceptable. Lack of music added confusion as we often had no idea to what music the dance was being performed. Every effort has been made to properly label each performance.

| August 15 | Pictures can still be ordered after the Promotion Code has expired, but you will not receive the promotional discount. We have added a 2nd period for discounts! The same promotion code that you received at dress rehearsal will be valid for these discounts. The discounts are still quite substantial! If you don't already have it, call our studio at 262.679.7900 to receive the promotion code.
Here are the discounts:
| Purchase Total | Original Promotion Discount % | Final Promotion Period Discount %
| | $25-$39.99 | 15% | 10% | | $40-$64.99 | 25% | 15% | | $65-$119.99 | 33% | 25% | | $120-$199.99 | 50% | 40% | | $200-$324.99 | 66% | 55% | | $325 and up | 75% | 60% | Promotional pricing is only available on our Standard Product Line (prints). Other items such as jewelry, purses, proof/brag books, books, luxury albums and more are available at regular pricing.
Examples: During the initial promotional period you place an order totaling $30. After entering your code you will pay only $25.50 (plus tax). If your order is $75 you will pay only $50.25. And if your order is $325 you will only pay $81.25. During the final promotional period a $30 order is only $27 (plus tax); a $75 order is only $56.25; and your $325 order is a mere $130!
Promotion Codes are printed for each studio on the back of business cards that were distributed either at dress rehearsal or at the recital. You may also get yours by calling our photography studio at 262.679.7900. We'll ask which location you attend and give you the proper code.

Tips
- Moving from album to album trying to remember where you saw your favorite image can be a bit challenging. We have created a place to store all of your favorites. I wrote a blog last (snow) ski season to help skiers collect up their favorites and it is just as applicable to dancers. Here's a link to that information to help you assemble all your favorite images in one place.
- In our Premium Product line we have a small (5"x5") proof book. Although this item does not qualify for the discount program, it is already very reasonable - a great value. These proof books (think of it as a brag book) start at 30pages for $55.11 (and you may have as many more pages as you'd like - here's a link to our FAQ on the cost of bigger books - you'll need to scroll down a little). That's a mere $1.84 per page (image)! They come spiral bound and never have our studio name on the photos. On the back of each is the photo number to make it easy to order the photo in a wall size when you want to. To order one select one of the photos that will be in the book, click on the Premium Products tab below the photo and select the Proof Book. Upon receipt of your order we'll contact you to guide you through the process of getting your other selections to us. (It's currently a manual process that's not yet automated.) With each Proof Book you will receive a special promo code which will be good for about 2 weeks to help you with the cost of ordering your prints. Our treat - Enjoy!
