Chocolate Party 2008

For the second year I had the opportunity to shoot the annual "Champagne and Chocolates" party for Southwest Boulevard Family Health Care. The party is a fundraiser for the organization, which provides health care services for the underprivileged. The clinic provides a valuable community service, and it's a pleasure to help in this small way.

The party was held at the MLB Designs and Pearl Gallery building at 1818 McGee. There was a ridiculous amount of delicious chocolate desserts, champagne, and beautiful silver art pieces by Robyn Nichols. It was a challenging environment, with very high ceilings and lots of black backgrounds for art displays. I worked up a sweat running up and down stairs and worrying over flash settings, but it was fun as always, and with the help of my lovely and talented photo assistant Karen, I think we pulled it off. Here are some samples.
