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.

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.

Choose nude color tights and avoid white tights.   How to schedule…
