90th Birthday and Family Reunion

I was scheduled months in advance for a big family reunion to mark a 90th birthday party and family reunion. I knew Santa Maria families are large but hers was great;150 people at the SM Eagle Hall.

I checked out the location and lighting beforehand and I knew it would be challenging photographically with low light and low ceilings. With an assistant, special lens, plus lots of hotshoe and off-camera flashes, it would be good. Suzy set up a photo booth area and I brought all the gear. 

The event was very well set up, decorated and coordinated. Suzy and her team had done a fabulous job. So, of course, she wanted lots of "detail" images to show off the hard work.

In image editing I created a new LR preset just for the older, dark complected face that I named "Princess." See if you can see why I call it that.

Thanks, Suzy and Vinne, for choosing me to capture this super special day for you.
