Happy Birthday Khalila

I had a great time spending my Saturday night this past weekend shooting the celebration of Khalila’s 16th birthday. It was a huge festivity compared to any sweet 16 party i went to as a teenager, and I hope she enjoyed it as much as everyone else did! I had wanted to spend much of yesterday editing the selection of photos, but only got through a small amount as I was so tired.

The Girl of the Evening

The lighting through most of the night was rather difficult. I spent much more time with my 50mm f/1.4 than I had expected, and my Fong was indispensable. All the photos here (except the one marked otherwise) were taken at f/1.4 on the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AF-D .

Candle Ceremony

With the candle ceremony, and some of the earlier events, I did get a chance to shoot with available light only as I normally prefer. The candles added a nice warm glow to everyone’s faces.
