It was an outdoor shoot at a local park with a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I am so excited! I had so much fun! What an adrenaline rush!! They are such a sweet couple and were such a pleasure to work with.
The lighting was not that great that morning though in some of the pictures, but I think they will like them nonetheless. I met them at 9am and the shoot lasted about an hour and a half. I think in the future I will probably try at 8am and see if that might avoid strong sun spots and shadows.
As my thank you for them letting me practice on them, I had an 8x10 and a wallet size of the best shot, made for them, as well as a collage of my favorites, also an 8x10.
I dream of someday owning a Nikon D80, but for now, please excuse the point and shoot(Nikon L11 Coolpix). In the meantime, I am focusing on my composition. CC welcome!

~Auh what a sweet couple Denise! And great pics. Glad to see you are getting to work on that! - J.
~I second that. That is a sweet couple! I think you did a wonderful job! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that pic of them walking down that path! Great job. BEAUTIFUL work! Pro is in your future. - H.
~I, too, particularly like the ones walking down the path together (as well as many of the the others). On the ones going down the path I am wondering if you could crop out the sign that's visible in the pictures. It's a bit of a distraction. If the sign were not there, then those shots would be completely perfect.-J.
~What a sweet couple! Made me want to go kiss my DH. My favs are the ones with the palm trees in the background! Nice work...I am sure they will be thrilled with the results!!! TFS! - S.

~Very nice pics! What a sweet looking couple. Can't help but feel all sappy when you hear abt couples married that long. I love the thought of growing old with DH (only I envision me with few wrinkles : ) Now that J. brought if up...I agree...good if you could crop out the sign. Good job!-B.
