Last Friday, I was the photographer at a Red Hat Christmas luncheon held at the Ceresville Mansion right down the road from me. This is an old house that I remember from when my brother was in high school and mowed the grass for the doctor who owned it at the time. It is now a wonderful place to hold weddings and other elegant affairs. The one drawback as a photographer is the lighting. I prefer to use natural light for shooting. I had to rely on my flash to get decent photos. I am still editing the photos I took but am sharing a few here. (This was my first time really shooting people. Nature is much easier for me to shoot.)

Looks like you did a great job!
The red hat ladies are always so cute! I sat next to a dozen of them at a play. The only problem was no one behind them could see anything!
ha!
