Lancaster Lifestyle Photography: Move It Studio Fitness

Move It Studio fitness photo including barre, pilates and dance in downtown Lancaster City

If you know me well, you know that I love to dance. I can’t say that I put my dancing skills into practice much these days other than dance parties in the living room with my kids but it is an art form that I have always loved. Dance and movement speak to my soul and any time I have an opportunity to photograph it, I’m all in.

Marie, owner of Move It Studio, asked if I would like to do some photography for the fitness studio’s rebrand launch this past summer where they offer barre, pilates and dance classes. Of course I said “yes!”

Years ago when her studio first launched and we were both pregnant with our first babies, we collaborated on a project together called Lancaster Moves. We captured various dancers in public places around Lancaster City and the images were displayed in her studio for an art gallery opening event.

For the rebrand, Marie wanted to capture both portraits and action shots of the studio teachers along with images in the studio and of clients in their everyday workout wear hanging with their gal pals. I had such a blast photographing these ladies and I am amazed by their skills and strength. I myself have been enjoying classes, both virtually and in person since they reopened this summer. If you are local to Lancaster and looking for a place to join a barre, pilates or dance class, I highly recommend Move It Studio. They have both a downtown Lancaster and a Lititz studio and even offer outdoor classes.

Enjoy the images of movement below. Because Move It Studio is located downtown next to the Lancaster Central Market we decided to take all the photos around that area. I loved seeing how creative the teachers got with movement in the alleyways, on the railings, bike racks, walls and window ledges. I would love to hear which one(s) is your favorite!
