Headshots Friday

Tysons, Virginia

It will be a busy weekend for me – two large shoots are on the schedule. Tonight, I will be photographing headshots for the University of Maryland University College Alumni Association. They will be having a awards dinner and I will be setup to make updated headshots for those attending. With social media networks for both personal and professional uses, it is important to have a great profile photo. It is the first impression that you are making on prospective clients or employers. Let me know if you or your office have portraits that need refreshing for this use.

Also, I am excited to be photographing more dancing in Rockville, MD. There is another great event planned for Bachata Masters this weekend including workshops and a party with showcases. I have been invited to photograph a few of these, and they are always awesome events for some photos. The enthusiastic audience is so close to the performers, so the connection they make with their audiences is very intimate and exciting as they have been working with each other throughout the day. With the showcase performances, I try to do something different with the lighting to add something to the images. Some ideas are going around in my head, and I will definitely share them on the blog sometime soon.

That’s Dancing Summer Showcase

Jessup, Maryland

Summer is undoubtedly in full swing in the DC metro area! We are starting to see more hot and humid days after a long winter. This past weekend, I was invited to photograph the Summer Showcase for That’s Dancing Ballroom and Dancesport Center. With regards to their scheduling, it seems like they could not be on more opposite ends of the scale! The last time I photographed their students and staff, we were worried about a winter storm canceling the event altogether. Last Saturday night, though, was a really nice evening, and I moving all my equipment in was much easier than last December!

At this time, the studio was specially decorated for the occasion. As with all their Showcases, they had a theme to tie in all the décor, music, food, and dress for the performers. The theme this time was “Dancing through the Decades”. There were trivia questions about pop music over the years, and popular food stuffs that evolved from Chex Mix to microwavable popcorn. The studio was decorated with nice shimmering backgrounds which created some nice backgrounds for the photos!

Carlos always has his students ready to perform, and I have a great time seeing their new routines! The variety in the dances is fun to see – from newcomers to more experienced dancers, Rhythm, Ballroom, Latin styles, and they usually have a staff formation where larger group performs a dance at one time. The photos have all been edited, and they are uploading to the proofing site now. To access all of them, please click the link below:

Carlos and Marielle always treat their vendors and staff so well! It is no wonder that they have such great events. In addition to these Showcases, they organize the upcoming Northcoast Ballroom Championships and the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. I hope you enjoy the photos!

USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships Expiring

Bethesda, Maryland

Expiring in one week – the photos from the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships photos. They were originally supposed to expire today, but I because it slipped on my schedule, I had the web service extend the deadline until next Monday. I want to give lots of notice to you before they are removed since it is harder to get to them once they go to the archives. There is now one week left to view and order photos from this event before the images are removed from the proofing website. Here is a direct link to all the photos:

I am posting some of the images from this event since it has been a while since I have gone back to look at them. It does not seem like that long ago for this event, but it is time to make more room for other images on the website. This is the reason I need to move out these events after a few months.

If you visited the website already and ordered some of your favorites – thank you for supporting our photography! My team of photographers really worked hard to cover this 2 day event. We covered all the heats, and tried our best to capture everyone that competed. It was nice to see many familiar faces!

The organizers, judges, and dancers were having fun catching up with us, and viewing their previews at our booth. It adds to the fun when we recognize many of you on the dance floor. We like to see you progress in levels, and take you dancing to the next level every year! Please pass along the link to our events to anyone that is new, or has not seen our work. It is always a great event to attend, and we hope to be invited back again next year.
