Project 365 - Day 155. Mixing It Up | Hartland Event Photographer

As my regular readers (sometimes called stalkers or voyeurs :-)  know, I like a new challenge and events are a great way for me to expand my skills.

Tonight I had a chance to use "the beast" quite a bit while taking shots of a group who came together for a good cause and some fun tennis.  The tennis mixer was sponsored by Four Winds Subdivision and was held at Lake Country Athletics to raise money for the community's Relay For Life team.  

For any locals...they're also holding their garage sale in support of the same cause so check it out Saturday if you get a chance!  I'm planning on heading over.

Here's a couple shots of one of the organizers of the fundraiser.  Oh, and she's also a great friend and a regular reader....

Project 365 - Day 68. The Big Prize | Hartland Event Photography

I photographed a benefit at a local church a couple of weeks ago and posted about it then.   I mentioned in passing that I'd won a raffle item.   Well, this is it.   I debated about bidding on something for the kids...the American Girl gift pack, a nerf gun basket...but then I spotted this basket and I went all in!  Rob is a big Moet fan and I just love these stemless glasses with a mini-chalkboard on them!!  So cool.  

Ok, so it's still sitting in my dining room exactly as I placed it over two weeks ago but that's ok.  I still like it and it makes me smile every time I walk past it.   And, hey, my birthday is next week so maybe I'll even give it a try then....
