details, details, details

When shooting an event, be it a birthday party, or a wedding, or a quinceanera, it is always important to remember to get the "detail" shots. The little things that make the party unique and special, from the invitation to the seating arrangement to the flowers, cake and wine glasses. People shots are very important, but the detail shots show how much work was put into the event.

Don't forget to shoot the details!

By the way, these are some of my favorite shots to take. You don't have to worry about red-eye, odd faces or mussed hair. LOL

Sunday Citar ~ Good days





It's Sunday again! Time to share a quote, join in the Citar fun, brought to you by Tabitha at Fresh Mommy.

“Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveler has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will.”
~ Freya Stark (French adventurer and explorer 1893-1993)

I was shooting some senior portraits for and old friend yesterday out on the river walk, and took my family along to help. I got in a few shots of the kiddos while we were there and some other "surroundings" shots. It was a great day. It was fun seeing my friend again, and her kids were fantastic and mine behaved and now I know that my daughter wants to stay at the Hyatt on the river walk for her birthday this year. Yay!

Every 26 years or so

...it snows here. The last time we had "measurable" snowfall was in Jan of 1985. I remember it well. It was a lot, for us, thirteen inches if I remember correctly.

So last night, it was time, we were ready. It still hadn't started by bedtime, so I told the kids we'd go to bed early and wake up early to snow.

We got less than an inch, and the consistency wasn't very snowlike. It was more like very cold salt. But that didn't stop my kids from enjoying it. We got up early, threw out some seed for the birds and the kids played for a few moments in the icy stuff. It was a good day.

Happy girl:
