2024 Spring Lyra Picture Day ~ Beloved Little Circus

I'm so excited to partner with Beloved Little Circus to offer a "Picture Day"! My daughter, Erika, joined Lyra with her friends two years ago, and she has been in love with Lyra since then! I have seen her perform at recitals multiple times at Lyra Studio. Still, I always had difficulty taking pictures of her due to the venue's poor lighting. It was difficult to capture the perfect Lyra poses as she performed on the hoop so fast! Therefore, I'm delighted to announce the first-ever "Picture Day" for Be Loved Little Circus students, where we can capture their love for Lyra professionally and perfectly. Sarah will be on-site to ensure every Lyra pose is picture-perfect! Picture Day will be held on Sunday, May 19th, from 4 pm to 6 pm at Lyra Studio! Students will be photographed on a classic white backdrop, and each will have a 10-minute time slot. Sarah and I will create as many beautiful Lyra poses as we can! We look forward to seeing you on Picture Day!   Date: May 19th, Sunday:  4 pm ~ 6 pm   Location: Lyra Studio 2956 Treat Blvd,  Suite H. Concord, CA 94518   What to wear: Your favorite Lyra costume!  Choose jewel / rich colors like red, purple, pink, green, black, blue, etc. These colors will pop in photos, avoid white or pastel colors; these colors will blend in with a white background. Choose nude color tights and avoid white tights.   How to schedule…
