Dancing at an Arthur Murray Showcase event in Tysons, VA

It was an amazing photography year for me on the ballroom dance floor! I was able to go to exotic places (Philadelphia) to familiar venues to capture the most dynamic, and best images so far. The last event of the year was the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. For the last event, we got some great help from behind the camera, so we could actually step out on the floor ourselves. It was nerve-racking, and scary to get back out there, but we had a great time. Plus we had some great shots of us as a bonus! Thanks to everyone who helped us setup and photograph these events, and of course, thanks to everyone who has supported my little enterprise by purchasing pictures. I can’t wait to see everyone again in 2010!

Kathleen and Jim

With all the weddings I have been to recently, it was nice to be a guest for Kathleen and Jim at their celebration! Jim was one of my oldest friends from high school. We had a good crowd back then – mostly band mates, having good-natured fun at rehearsals, concerts, trips. Jim was always current with sports, and always ready to pick you up with a good laugh! Some of my best memories of high school – Jim running around on stage in our production of “South Pacific” with a coconut bra and grass skirt as he played Lt. Billis, or Bryony letting Jim take a quick joy-ride in her tiny Ford Festiva around Locust Shade Park

Well, it was nice to see that Jim hasn’t changed at all! (The only difference – a slight change in moniker to “Jimmy”). We were honored to be invited to the wedding. I had to bring my camera to snag some personal photos for myself. Mike was their official photographer, and he gave me a quick peek at some of his images at the reception. The album is going to be great! Thanks Kathleen and Jimmy for letting us join your friends and family on your beautiful wedding day!

Fun times!

It’s always great to revisit old friends. Mike and I worked in the lab for a long time, getting through a lot of challenging projects. We’ve gone through a lot of changes since our last assay, so it was great to catch up!

Fun times celebrating Mike's 30th birthday
Fun times celebrating a birthday in Gaithersburg, Maryland

On this occasion, Mike invited us out to celebrate his birthday. We previously worked together in a laboratory. Likewise we had a lot of fun times while working. Although we both studied in the sciences, we have departed from that line of work. From what I can see, Mike is doing very well!

At the time we worked in the lab, I thought I would work there for my entire career. However, you grow and progress in an organization. Sometimes when promoted, your new position is not a great fit. This was the case for me. I was better in a lower position, but as never comfortable as a manager. That being the case, I struck out on my own with my creative endeavor. My mom says that the universe will find a way to put you where you need to be. As far as I can see, this is the truth so far!
