Compared to last year, the weather was miserable. However, we didn't get completely soaked, and the wind didn't completely blow us all away, so in the end, it was a success.
The JDRF had a goal to raise just over $460,000.00 this year, and they were able to manage to raise $450,000.00 which is incredibly close. Even though the weather was not ideal, the crowd turnout was still very impressive. Here are a few snippets from the day. Even included some of the celebrity donor George Canyon. None of these shots would be possible without the assistance of my team of volunteer photographers. Mark Laurie, Drew Gregory, Claudia Tecuceanu, and Crystal Sujata. Lot's of new faces for the blog. Babies and bellies. Brides and Grooms. Its craziness, and here are just a few samples. Head on over to Facebook and check out Sunley Photography for regular updates. Become a FAN! Thanks so much for your support. This first little one has to have been the easiest 6 month old I have ever photographed. She was sooo happy and cheerful and didnt even mind being out in the chilly weather first thing in the morning. What a DOLL!!! This little teeny newborn was only a few days old and so co-operative. This had to have been one of the hottest days I ever shot in September. I love it when my clients trust me enough to allow me the freedom to create shots like the two below. Just in case you are wondering, the Motorcycle shot is a composite of two different images. I do not compromise the safety of little babies for great photos. She was very safe the entire time. These last three photos are from the MOST AMAZING wedding I have ever had the pleasure of attending. They were so gracious and charming and really took the commitment of marriage seriously. They wrote their own vows and asked me to hike into the bush to help them capture their ceremony just shortly after dawn. Thank you for the opportunity, I thoroughly loved the day and doing something so unique and different.
This weekend was full of families for me as well as the wedding. My first family session was three little sweeties all under the age of 12. All these angels were absolutely stunning to look at and even willing participants in our photo session. They required very little coaxing from me or their parents. I love it when that happens. The eyes on her are just amazing This big brother was just so patient with his little sisters. I asked her to get a little sassy with me. Such a cute little smile My second family of the day were much older but you could just feel how close they were and how much they really enjoyed being with each other and how much they loved each other. We were all laughing and enjoying ourselves for nearly two hours. It was just my day. I love days like that. Capturing something a little funky and edgy with them. She looks like she could be the next singing sensation. (never asked her to sing, so I can't say for sure) But I certainly can picture her with a guitar up on stage. They were more than happy to be together and spend time with each other. I just wanted to take them home with me. Happy family.
One final note. We were in Fish Creek Park and ran into a couple who just got engaged at dinner and were out for a walk. I captured a picture of them to celebrate the moment. I really would like to get it to them, but I didnt get their info. Out of respect for them, I won't post it on the blog, but in the off chance you might know of someone who just got engaged at the Ranche on Sunday night, tell them to contact me for their picture. Wow! What a fantastic event! First time doing this event and I am so impressed. Huge turnout, fantastic weather and incredibly well organized.
