Last weekend, we photographed the Arthur Murray 2014 Spring Freestyles, and the River City Ballroom Dance competition. I am working on editing the photos now, and will have a better idea as to when each will be ready. Stay tuned to the blog for ongoing updates on the status of these images. As tired as I am from the weekend, I am boosted by the feedback we received from so many this last weekend. From what I have seen from the Spring Freestyles so far, it looks like another nice collection so far, so I can’t wait to get these out! We worked with some great photographers this last weekend, and I cannot wait to show off what we were able to create with the dancers. More updates coming soon!

This event was another great one for photos. I have posted many times about how much the setup the ballroom at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City works well for our photography. With the size of the ballroom, we have a lot of flexibility on how to light the room. In having 2 events to shoot there annually, the setup is much easier for us now. Having the knowledge of where you want to setup your gear, and where you want to position yourself to shoot, allows me to just concentrate on following the dancers on the floor. Then it is easier to get better photos, and have less “test shots” to go through before they get good!

At last years, NJ State Open, there were some nice exhibition showcases prepared by both amateurs and professionals which added a lot of personality and theatrics to the event. This added some different images from the competitive heats that we see at other competitions. There was also time for some general dancing on Saturday evening, and other non-ballroom dance shows to enjoy. Keep this event in mind for this October and visit the competition website for updates as the dates draw near!

This weekend, TimeLine Media will be covering the DC Area Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles event in Chantilly, VA. There will likely not be any updates on the blog, but I will be posting updates on my Twitter Feed, the Facebook page, and my Instagram Feed when I get the chance. See you on the dance floor!

Birthday Greetings!

Roxanne and Tom - ©TimeLine Media

Taking advantage of Facebook notifying friends about their upcoming birthdays, I just wanted to send birthday wishes to Roxanne. In fact, she reached out to us a few years ago when she took over two ballroom dance competitions. Specifically, they were the American Star Ball, and the New Jersey State Open. Since she was looking for a photographer to cover the events, we were happy to step in to work for her.

Undoubtedly it has resulted in us getting some of our favorite images from the dance floor! She has setup the ballrooms to be great for photos. For example – dark and colorful backgrounds, stadium lights, floor lighting, etc. We have met lots of great dancers, judges, organizers, volunteers, and have had a lot of fun on our trips to her events. They have run smoothly, and the guests really enjoy their weekends of dancing. Thanks for reaching out to us, we hope to have represented your competitions well in images. Continued luck in the future, and happy birthday! We hope to see you again this year!
