We went out for great sushi and then to a few bars afterward. I did take a lot of photos during the evening, but my policy is to never post photos of people I don't know without their permission. So, I'm only going to share this adorable photo of Amanda...
It's always fun shooting something new, and this was a really different experience for me because I don't normally use a flash, which means that I don't own any lighting equipment. So, it really had me on my toes trying to remember that my on board flash was only going to reach so far and I couldn't shoot from too far away.
Every time I photograph an event I am reminded why I prefer to take portraits. It is soooo much easier to shoot when you have control of your environment, you have (somewhat) willing subjects, and you aren't trying to capture every moment around you as it is happening.
Amanda, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special celebration. I hope your birthday was everything you dreamed and more!
