Honor to be asked....

Granted, they're not the most creative pictures but it was still an honor to be asked to take pictures of the retired volunteers firefighters for LaSalle. It was a lot of chaos, especially with having to drag ALL my equipment and set up just 45 minutes before people starting showing up. But it all worked out. Brad was a HUGE help. He stayed the entire time, helping me set up, tear down, give suggestions. It helped that he knew basically everyone there since he grew up in LaSalle with his dad on the fire department. I don't know how I would've done it without him. Just having him there kept me calm.

I wanted to have the flag cover the entire background but it just wasn't big enough for some of them. Then we took a HUGE picture outside. I used my tripod but far away shots always look horribly blurry to me. I guess I'm just too used to seeing sharp eyes!!

I'm still FREAKING out about the wedding I'm shooting. I sure wish Pueblo was closer so I could go down again. I won't be back until the day before the wedding. I'm wondering, do most people use their flash when shooting outdoors at weddings too? What is it about wedding photos that has that glamour look? I'm curious to know.....
