Happy birthday, Courtney! - a photo on Flickriver

Happy birthday, Courtney!

            Vanessa's friend Courtney, who turned 18 the day before this picture was taken. Her birthday was on a Thursday, and the following evening I attended a party in her honor, which took place at our LDS stake center. Courtney had asked me to be there to take pictures, of which I ended up with about 170, using both of my cameras. Only a few of those will show up on Flickr, however, partly because most of the attendees were minors, and partly because the event did not lend itself well to the kinds of pictures I normally include in my photostream. Apart from those considerations, I did the shoot for Courtney rather than for myself, and she was only expecting snapshots anyway. Last night I spent two or three hours converting all of my RAW images to JPEGs and loading those onto three CDs, which Courtney will be taking to Oklahoma tomorrow to show off to friends and relatives.

I am quite fond of Courtney and hope she likes this result. I have also told her that I would love to do a formal portrait of her sometime after she returns to Arizona. In the meantime, this candid shot, captured during her party, will have to do.
