Christmas Decorations

©TimeLine Media - Christmas Tree decorations

If it seems like Christmas is approaching quickly this year, it is!! I have been lucky to be photographing a lot this holiday season, and am really enjoying working so many holiday events. The decorations around the buildings and store have been inspiring for making photos, so I have made the most of the opportunity.

Tree Lights

My mother always decorates a beautiful Christmas tree. She keeps the light all white with many different decorations she has collected over the years. She used to decorate multiple trees, so she has to pick and choose which ones to hang every time it goes up! Some of the ornaments are hand made, some were bought when she first started decorating trees in the 1970’s, and many of them are gifts from family, friends, and former patients. We stopped by for a visit, and she did a nice job again. Enjoy some of the photos!

Last Event

We are shooting one more ballroom dance event for the year, the studio showcase for That’s Dancing in Jessup, MD. It is planned for this evening, and if the weather holds up, it should be a great show! I will work on the photos this week, and when they are completed, you can see them at the usual site for all of our ballroom dance photos:

2013 Holiday Order Deadlines

The Christmas holiday is quickly approaching! I know that photos are always a popular present for family, teachers, and friends. There are a lot of requests coming in asking if it is too late to order some prints in time for the holidays, so I just want to outline the deadlines for you here. If you are ordering standard prints, the last day to place your order to ensure Christmas delivery is Thursday, December 12 for regular delivery. Express delivery options can still be placed by Wednesday December 18th and delivered by Tuesday, December 24.

Gifts Albums

Another popular gift this time of year are the assembled photo albums, or “Ballroom Brag Books” where you can take a collection of 12 – 20 of your favorite photos and have them printed in a bound book. With all of the photos from this year re-released, this is a perfect time to make an album of your year of dancing! If you have any question about these, please email me: rassi @ timelinedc.com. I have made a number of these recently for Christmas gifts. If you are interested in making one, the deadline to have an approved book finished is Wednesday, December 11 for regular delivery, and Tuesday, December 17th for express delivery. I create a layout of the photos for you to approve before printing, so email me or call me this week to get this started in time for Christmas.

Again, for a lot of ballroom dancers, there is nothing better than a Foxtrot. This show by the Arthur Murray Columbia, MD studio was as smooth as you can be on the floor! It was another demonstration to inspire you to have a stronger, straighter frame, or holding your slow counts, and making it look so natural. Beautiful!

Fairfax Corner – Christmas Tree Lighting

Last September, I covered a fashion show at Fairfax Corner where a runway was setup right in middle of their main square. I returned to cover their annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the same space. The weather was a LOT colder, but again, it fit with the theme of the event. Even without the special events going on, Fairfax Corner is an especially beautiful area to eat, and shop. With the sun setting earlier this time of year, I arrived early to get some photos of the streets and buildings before the sky went completely dark. With their holiday lights hung on the trees at this time, they light up the sidewalks nicely for visitors.

The organizers had lots of activities for the families to enjoy throughout the evening. Santa was scheduled to arrive by horse-drawn carriage on this occasion. With help from 97.1 WASH-FM, there was Christmas music playing throughout the plaza, and stores had giveaways and games for the kids to play. Santa was of course the main attraction – riding around the square, announcing the countdown to the tree lighting, and visiting with kids eager to share their wish lists.

After the lighting, anyone could line up to get a horse carriage ride on both sides of the center. The lines were long all evening long! The evening looked to be a success – with lots of people participating at all the stations. It was a nice way to start the holiday season of photos!
