Shannon's First Date--Sadie's

Shannon's Sadie's Group at Dry Canyon

I had a blast taking photos of Shannon’s Sadie’s Dance group up near Dry Canyon.  It is one of my favorite and easiest accessible places to shoot dance photos. Whitney was my lovely photography assistant. I needed her to hold the light reflector. It helps the photo subject’s skin look better if there’s reflected as well as flashed light, especially if the sun is backlighting the scene. The backlighting makes the autumn leaves look great. This was Shannon’s first date and the kids chose to dress us as Disney movie characters. Shannon’s date, Tate Wilks was Buzz Lightyear and he did an awesome job with his costume. He used duct tape and white foam core poster board. Shannon was the cutest Jessie from Toy Story that I ever saw. We made her chaps. See if you can guess who the other kids dressed as. Shannon made a delicious pot of sweet and sour chicken for the dinner as well as a salad. She slipped a little baby kale into the salad. The kids didn’t even know. She’s beginning to pull healthy food tricks like her momJ
