Last month I photographed a fundraiser called Krystal’s Kasino. Krystal is a young woman with stage 4 breast cancer and lots of medical bills. She is a small business owner, a wife and a mother of young kids. She is also blessed with a circle of loving and generous people who put together a ”Kasino” night to raise money for her medical bills.
These are the amazing women who organized the event taking a quick second to pose for a picture with Krystal. They all did such a great job.
These fabulous treats, created by Sugar Dreams, were donated to the event. I just love the saying on the cake, “Attitude is Everything.”
Isn’t she just adorable? This cute little chocolate lab generously donated and auctioned off… I was soooo tempted.
As the evening progressed, lighting became a bit of a problem. We were outdoors at the Seville Country Club. I was able to get a few decent shots by using my Gary Fong Lightsphere with the cap off the top. The patio area was covered so I bounced off the ceiling. I used my 50mm 1.4 the whole time.

I decided to shoot a few dance pictures on my back patio during the middle of the day. The patio faces East so by noon it is completely shaded. I used a roll of Savage wide tone seamless background paper and all natural light for these shots. I did very few Photoshop tweaks…bumped up the contrast just a bit and finished off with a little sharpening. My adorable dancer is getting ready for her recital in a few weeks. Do you think she loves the camera? Check out the gold wristbands. I think Wonder Woman might be a little jealous.

This year I have adopted a few Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk teams. One of them, the Ta-Ta Sisterhood, is hosting a fundraiser this month in Gilbert. On Friday, June 18 from 6:00-9:00 p.m., head down to Shenandoah Mill, 1359 S. Gilbert Rd, for some dinner, music, and fun! There will be things to see, like the Pink Firemen and their Pink fire truck, crafts, lots of fun for kids too like face painting, bouncers, etc! I’ll be there taking pictures. Admission $10 per adult, $15 per couple (what a cheap date night), and $5 per child. You can learn more about the team at www.ta-ta-sisterhood.blogspot.com. You can also find them on facebook.
