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

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Columbia, MD

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!

Arthur Murray – Fall Showcase – Columbia – Rumba

Tysons Corner, VA

I have just about finished with all the orders from this big shopping weekend. Firstly, thank you to everyone that visited the website to view and purchase photos from ballroom dance events that TimeLine Media has covered this year! The most popular event to view of course was the very recent Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. The day was a blur with all the activity, but my photographers and I made some great photos from morning until night. The event ends as all of them do with a showcase of the professional dancers that instruct the students at the studios. The first show that I’ll highlight on the blog is from the Arthur Murray – Columbia, Maryland studio:

Columbia, MD Studio

We have seen these two in lots of shows and routines over the years, and we were happy to see them perform together again. In fact, they are in the middle of our first ballroom brag book that we created as a studio demo from a show that they performed some time ago. This routine was a beautiful rumba with some nice lines. The challenge for the rumba, keeping balance through moves that work the hips was displayed very well in this show. It can look deceivingly easy to dance except to the audience full of dancers that have all tried this style.

They make it look so easy! Nicely done!
