River City Ballroom Dance competition

Earlier this year, I photographed the River City Ballroom Dance competition in Richmond, VA for the second time. It is organized by Veronica and Lee at Simply Ballroom. On this occasion, it was held again at the Greater Richmond Convention Center conveniently located downtown. From there you have easy access to hotels, and restaurants. Moreover, there is plenty of room on the dance floor! The number of dancers doubled this year. With this in mind, there was plenty of opportunity for practice and comments from judges and other participants.

Prior to the start of the competition, we had a chance to catch up with familiiar friends. While some are from our home base in northern Virginia, some are local to Richmond. Especially the dancers from the host studio of Simply Ballroom. Veronica and Lee involve many of their students in the event. They are amazing hosts, and we look forward to our next trip south!

Engagement photos

Engagement Photos with Leah and CJ in Newport News, Virginia

CJ and Leah are going to be married this August, and we got together to get some engagement photos of the two of them. It was very hot and sunny in Newport News, VA, but they gladly worked through posts for me. They told me about how CJ proposed, and their plans for the wedding day.

They are well-prepared and are planning for a fun time with family and friends. We were able to get some shots with their dogs as well, and they cooperated for a few snaps!  At this time, they picked area by the Mariner’s Museum Park. Although it was very close to a busy part of time, this was a nice oasis next to the lake. Leah I met only recently. However, CJ has been a work friend for a few years. Now that we both have moved on to new career paths, it was nice to see him doing so well!

Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph Marsha and Dmitry at the Regan Dance Center in Alexandria, VA.  They teach Ballroom, Latin, and Flamenco dancing classes for individuals and groups at the studio, and have an annual student Showcase to display their hard work! It is here that I first met them last year. As a couple, the also compete in professional ballroom dance competitions. For more information about lessons, their website is: Danceflame.com or you can follow them on Twitter @Danceflame.

This session was a lot of fun! It is something that I have wanted to try for a while. Photographing dancers while on the floor is so fast, and the challenge is to make a good exposure when they are in a good position compared to the camera. In the studio, dancers are always perfecting their body position, placing themselves into lines that are great for capturing with the camera. It was my turn to move the lights and change the power to create drama, emphasizing their poses. Thanks, Marsha, and Dmitry! I hope you enjoy the photos!
