I hear it is the biggest shopping day of the year! For Black Friday, all the photos from 2013 that TimeLine Media has covered have been re-released. All expired events are now back on the proofing website through the holidays. If they have been re-uploaded, they will be viewable until January 13, 2014!

We have made so many great images this year. It is a blessing, and a privilege to have access to capture these images of dancers both amateur and professional throughout the year. As a dancer, you are always learning and improving. Steps become more natural, patterns more easily done with your partner, your lines get straighter, you travel farther with each stride, you take up more of the floor with your routine.

The photographs document your progress. You can see how you used to dance, and see how far you have come. They freeze moments from the routine you worked on for months, to recall before the next time you perform.

They help you to celebrate your accomplishments, and point you in the direction you want to go next time. Maybe it is for a higher placing in the competition, maybe it is trying a new dance you have not tried, or maybe it is just refining what you already know.

These are the same things that I think about when setting out to photograph the next subject. I try to be at least as good as the last time, but I try to push and be better. Photography, like dancing, is a skill that you can always learn and improve. The journey can be frustrating, and you may not reach your goals every time you attempt, but there are lessons each time you get out there. And the results you come back with may surprise you. Thank you to all the dancers, studios, and friends that have been on the other side of our lenses!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We hope you are enjoying your holiday, surrounding yourself with loved ones, and eating good meals today! It has been a busy week for us in the home studio. We have worked as quickly as we could to get these done so that we could enjoy our own holiday. The photos from the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Showcase are now up!! You can go to the proofing website and view them here:

This was another great shoot for us. The setup worked really well for us to quickly go through the photos. There was not much editing for me to do, so I was able to get through it quicker than other events. We have sorted through the photos and separated them by studio to make it easier to find your images. If we made any mistakes please let me know so I can put them in the right spots. (We were working quickly over some late nights, so there are likely to be some mistakes 🙂

We hope that you enjoy the images! Please share the link to the photos with anyone that attended, or any of your friends and family that may like to see your dancing photos. Both the routines and the All-Around competitions were well-danced by you and your instructors. Now that this event is over, I know everyone will be working hard to learn and get even better for the next event. See you on the dance floor and Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall Showcase Editing

Tysons, Virginia

My feet, and back are sore, and I didn’t even dance one heat yesterday! It was a long day at the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase, but we did make lots of photos of all the routines and the All-Around competition. The dancers are starting to recover, and I have started editing the photos so that we can share them with you this weekend. We really enjoyed catching up with dancers from other studios! We appreciate all the nice feedback we received from those of you that ordered pictures and digital downloads from us. It is really nice to hear how you are displaying your photos, and showing them off to your friends.

Again we were treated to some awesome professional shows to end the evening. I have not even looked at the photos from last night, but I thought I would share some from the Fall Freestyles that have not been posted on the blog yet. This was a Cha Cha by Brandon and Carolina from Arthur Murray – Columbia.

These two put on some of the most entertaining shows! They really engage with the audience with their technical and sharp lines. Overall, it makes editing their photos an enjoyable job! Last night, they each had different partners for their professional shows which I am sure will be featured in the blog as soon as I can get them finished.

Stay tuned here and on the TimeLine Media Facebook page for updates on when all the photos will be done and ready on the proofing site. We will be taking Thursday off for eating and football, but I still plan to have them done by Saturday. Thank you!
