One of my dear friends asked if I would take pictures at her son's 1st birthday party. I was honored to document such a big milestone! I'm not used to doing much indoor work - I generally stick to natural light. But I've been interested in learning more about flash and have wanted to get a better understanding of controlled lighting. And I've known that I needed a much better flash ... the SB-400 just wasn't cuttin' it. So after Christmas I ordered a new flash with some Christmas/birthday money, and my Nikon SB-700 arrived with enough time for me to read the manual and try it out a few times. This birthday party was my first big attempt at getting some decent photos with flash!
Let me just toot my friend's horn for a minute: she did an amazing job on this party! She put a lot of work into the details, and the kids really enjoyed it! My son came down with a fever on the day of the party, so my husband had to stay home with him. I'm still so sad that they missed it :(
He said "oooohhhh" to every present that was opened - so sweet!
