a picture perfect party


With the sun sitting high in the sky and outdoor party season just around the corner, I have been thinking a lot about the ways I will capture these cherished moments. I have never been one to take awesome or relatable photos (I blame it on my lack of nice camera), but I am determined to make this spring/summer different. 

Over a year ago, Canon did a sponsored post on one of my favorite blogs, Cup of Jo. The concept was to create a scavenger photo challenge where guests and friends would use a list of ideas to incorporate new perspectives from behind the lens and partake in a fun activity. Their list was as follows:

-tallest and shortest party guests

-a photo of the hostess, unaware

-people's shoes

-a shot from outside the party looking in

-guests coming and going

-as many people in the photo as possible

-balance as many objects as possible on your head

-hear no evil/see no evil/speak no evil

-spelling out a word with body parts

-people laughing

-food and drinks

Personally, I am smitten with the idea. The blog displayed beautiful images and presented a party I would love to attend. Isn't the goal after all? To eventually look back, smile, and remember the essence of your events? I think so.

For fun, here's some of my past "event photo gems":
**Please note that all of my pictures are cherished, no matter how generic they might be. Hello, this is my life!
