Recently, my husband's law school held a ball, where we got to get all fancy and pretend to have some class. I didn't want to end up taking photos all evening, so I didn't take my camera to the ball, but we attended a pre-party before hand and I did take a few photos there.
Isn't my hubby a cutie? :)...
Kevin took this photo of me. Not bad, huh? I'm going to turn him into a photographer yet...
And a (very out of focus) photo of both of us, but I like that you can see all of my dress in it...
I did take photos of the other people at the party, but I decided not to post photos of anyone else without their permission. However, I did post them in a password protected gallery on my website. So if you were at the pre-party and want to see the photos, you can email me for the password.
Every time I take personal event photos, I swear I am going to invest in a decent flash, yet I never do. Once again, as I was editing these images I was cursing the funky lighting and crazy shadows, and promising myself that I will buy a flash soon! Since I don't shoot events for clients, and prefer to shoot all of my portraits in natural lighting, it's just never been a big priority. I think that is about to change!
As always, thanks for stopping by!

My school holds a prom every year which seems kind of weird to me. The only publicity I've ever seen for it is from someone writing about it on the sidewalk with chalk. (They use a lot of chalk on the sidewalks here.) I don't know of anyone who has ever gone though.
ReplyDeleteYou and Kevin both look very nice. I hope you had a good time!
