Ballroom Dance Photographer Event Cards

Tysons, Virginia

We have some new ballroom dance event cards! As can be seen at our booth, we use these as reminders to dancers. Overall, a dance event is very noisy, and busy with may things going on. As dancers leave the event these remind them to come back to the proofing website. While there, they can see their photos after the event. We make them from images from the previous event’s professional shows.

We have been making these since the first event that we officially covered. They are nice marketing pieces for us, and the dancers like to see themselves in print with students liking to collect their teacher cards. I have not tallied exactly how many different cards we have made, but if you look closely, you can see that each has an identifier to let you know the series. Maybe I will go back through the archives to see all of them, and how they have changed. The latest change was on the back, where I have taken out more the text to make it easier to see the important information, and make a large QR-code for smartphone scanners.

These are only a few of the cards – the rest you will have to come by the booth and see this Saturday. We will be at the Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, VA to cover the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Showcase. I’m sure there is a lot of last minute fine tuning of routines at the studios this week – cutting music, refining where to enter the dance floor, and of course, how to acknowledge the judges at the end of the routine. We are ready to photograph everyone this weekend – see you there!

Dog Sitting Mission Complete

The house is a lot quieter now. Our two little guests for the week have gone back home. Having never had dogs growing up, it was a new experience for me. How nice it was to have them so happy to see you as you come through the door! It was a great week of learning to put them on harnesses and leashes for walks, helping them up and down couches, holding raw hides for them to chew, all the basic dog sitting duties.

I hope they enjoyed their time here – we did our best, but I am sure they are happy to be in their home today. One this is for sure, there are probably less camera shutters and flashes in their face! I took lots of photos while they were here – getting them tired made them perfect portrait subjects. I was able to experiment with my 2 trigger, one camera setup, as well as other things that I will be using in upcoming shoots.

Another reminder about the end of the early bird 20% off sale on the photos from the New Jersey State Open. The website is working overtime to show the photos from the statistics that I see! I have received lots of emails about them, and I have helped lots of couples find their photos online. If you were at the event and need any help to find yours, please email or call. Thank you!

Models in Residence

It is so nice to have portrait models around all the time to practice! We have been dog sitting and I have taken the opportunity to make lots of images of our two visitors. They are half-sibling mini dachshunds, and are two of the easiest subjects to photograph. I have known a few dachshunds, and these two are the most un-dachshund like I have met. Not terribly territorial, or very loud. They do like their walks, and chasing squirrels. Luckily for the camera, they like their down time. I dragged out some flashes and lenses and tried some things while they were available. Max is up first – he kept me from working the most during the week! The weather is not as great out there, but I hope you make some nice photos this weekend too.

Busy week coming up! I am going to some events this weekend to edit. Then next Saturday is the Arthur Murray Fall Showcase – our last event that we will cover for them this year. It will be great to see the new routines that the dancers and instructors have been working on these last few months. The photos will be posted to the proofing site as usual. Also stay tuned for some exciting new for your holiday gift shopping!
