Samantha's Prom - A Gift From Wawa

michaelglenn

Two weeks ago I received an email from Wawa Corporate. They contacted me because they wanted to gift their valued employee, Janet, a photographer for her daughter Samantha's senior prom. Samantha is brave, kind, and beautiful. She has fought off life threatening illnesses since birth. The doctor's said she wouldn't live past age one, and here she is today: living life cheerfully and confidently. I had the honor of meeting Samantha, her date Andrew, and all of her friends and family. I am so thankful to have met Samantha's wonderful and loving support system. Here is a small glimpse of Samantha's memorable day:

Nice set. IMO a step ladder would have helped you. Look at the shot in the living room with all the people. You are shooting down and this is a better view of her face.

kick ass stuff as usual! I usually love your processing but in this case the greens/yellows in the skin tones are touch bothersome in few shots..not a biggy though

Great job under trying conditions. Kudos to you for making her day very special.

Thanks everyone! This was a very rewarding set for me, and the family loved the images!

Mitchell

Great set.

Which of these were shot with your 85mm? I still feel like there is something funky with your bokeh and that lens.

Hey Mitchell! Surprisingly, this set I think I took out the 85L once. Mainly used the 35 and 50L for this set. The only nervous bokeh I really see is #28 and maybe a few dancing shots? I really don't have a an answer as to why the bokeh may look like that. I'll probably get the sensor cleaned and talk to one of the canon guys to see what they have to say about it. Although I don't feel like the bokeh is taking away from the feel of the set, which is good.

Love 'em, especially 2b.
