I'm not just a photographer, I'm also a Lindy Hopper.
If you're hosting a swing dance, ballroom dance, competition, workshop, or lindy exchange, I would love to photograph your event!Why should you hire me?
For starters, it's just nice to have a professional at your event. You can utilize the photographs to promote future events, to create t-shirts, for your website or organization. Since I'm a dancer, I have an edge that other photographer's don't. I know what's coming, I know the music, I know the moves, I'm able to anticipate those awesome moments in a dance and capture them for the dancers to enjoy forever. I don't stand on the sidelines, hoping to capture something. I get right out on the floor and seek out the dancers. I photograph the bands. I try to capture as many different people as possible, so your event attendees can feel noticed and enjoy the photos I've taken of them.
I have an extensive portfolio of coverage: ballroom and swing in a variety of lighting situations. You can check out all of my work here.

Fenna's vision and creativity as a photographer are unparalleled. More than that, she does something most photographers won't do - she digs in and really gets to know her clients/subjects. As a dancer, she participates in workshops and social dances in the community and across the nation, and as a result she's able to capture not only special moments in the dancing, but also personalities and the individual styles of different dancers. We were happy to have her as the official photographer at Burning River Blues, 2010! - Lisa Paladin, member of The Burning River Blues Team
