LOVE and marriage, and family...

This extended family hired me to do their photos so they could present pictures to their parents for their 50th wedding anniversary coming up next month. They wanted them at Scottsdale Center for the Arts, it's a fun place to shoot. We met on 9-11-11, the 10 year anniversary of 9-11-01. I arrived early and made the mistake of going into a memorial they had set up inside the arts center. I was crying within the first minute of walking in. It was so emotional. I tried my best to pull it together before the photo shoot. I'm glad the family was happy with the photos, I'm probably my most critical critic and I see some things I should have done different. I'm always learning something new about lighting, my camera, and how to set people up in the frame. But like I said, at least the family was happy. Note to self, don't go to a 9-11 memorial a few minutes before a photo shoot. I've included some of the 9-11 memorial too.
