Trying to find a clean shot with decent lighting was difficult. Unfortunately I was totally overwhelmed by all the challenges I encountered.
My lesson from this experience is
Do your homework! Be EXTRA EXTRA Early! Even though I was early...so were some of the guests. Visit the venue prior to the event & evaluate the environment for best lens choices and do a pre-workup shoot and check list.
All in all it was a great party and our little princess turned ONE! Happy Birthday darling AVA ELISE...
