Food, Drink and Shots

So the weekend's over. I really am not ready for it to be over, but it is. My schedule has been packed for the past 36 hours, so I feel like I'm just now sitting down. This isn't a complaint. My packed schedule included a house warming/birthday party last night (with lots of food and drink), a brunch this morning (with more food and drink) and, this afternoon, my first paying photo gig! I'm still so stoked about that.

A good friend of mine surprised her husband with a photo shoot on Father's Day. She and her family walked into the park, and her husband had no clue I was waiting there. He and his son wandered around the harbor park, played on the swings and stared at the boats. I documented, paparazzi style (only much less obnoxious), this father and son's hour spent playing in the park.

This was my first time photographing a young kid, and man oh man do they move fast. I learned from this photo shoot that from here on out kids need to be shot with a higher shutter speed than I used. Even with my slightly too low shutter speed, I did manage to get some pretty good shots. I'm not done editing them yet but here are a few of my favorites so far.

I'll probably post some more as I edit them, but that's all I have for now.

I hope you (yes, you) had a wonderful weekend.
