Here are more favorite photos from the Spring Freestyles. I hope everyone is enjoying the Spring weather! It has definitely hit the DC area, and I am out everyday this week so far. Of course I have lots of orders to place, so here is just a quick post on featuring professional Arthur Murray dancers from the Gaithersburg studio. Thanks to everyone that has visited the website and supported our photography through orders. We are so happy that you are enjoying the photos!

In looking through these show photos, I am starting to feel confident in my lighting setup. Overall, the Hilton McLean in Tysons has a large, long ballroom. Especially for Arthur Murray events where they have the entire room. While photographing these shows, I had 4 large flashes setup to light up the floor. The size of the ballroom allows for some of the lights to face right into the camera without adding flare to the photos. The size of the space can been seen in how out of focus the crowd is in these photos! The dancers can still pop out with them staying in focus, and the best light hitting them. Of course, I wish I could get every dancer on the floor in this light. But this only works with only one couple out on the floor. It is another benefit of the ending show from the event!

Paragon Open

Here are some of my favorites from the Paragon Open held in Whippany, NJ. For this time, I had an associate photographer, Mario, cover this event for us, and he did a great job! Of course I wish I could shoot every event but it is nice to be friends with other professionals that can cover for me. I’m especially glad that many of you purchased copies of your favorites to keep. We hope to be invited back again this year. Enjoy!

Spring getting closer!

Driving through Washington DC yesterday, it was clear that even the cherry blossoms have not yet found their Spring stride yet. It is getting closer, and we took some time to enjoy the slightly warmer weather this weekend. Hopefully buds will bloom, and people will be ready for more photos outdoors. I can’t wait!

While walking through this stream the bare trees allow the sky to reflect off the water. Even though winter is behind us, it still gives a cold feel with no leaves on the trees. Despite the current look, it will not take long for the leaves to take over the coverage in a few weeks.

Green Spring Gardens park is indeed one of our favorite local parks. Whereas they have many walking trails, they have planted specific specimens with identifiers throughout. For this reason, we get ideas on what can work in our own yard, so we enjoy visiting often. Also, Fairfax County has some very clear permitting rules in case you are a photographer and have designs on using the park as a backdrop!
