When your friend is an actual indy car driver...

So I have this friend, she drives indy cars. I'm not joking. She's an actual real life race car driver, & she hangs out with ME! It's pretty amazing & I just love this girl! Mianna & her hubby are good friends of ours & so when she asked if I'd do some pics for her at the parade of lights of course I said yes. Now you guys have to understand something, as a photographer something called the 'parade of lights' is basically my worst nightmare. Don't get me wrong, they are fun & exciting & it's always fun to use all the lights as an opportunity to get creative & experiment with my camera, but trying to get pictures in the dark, of a moving object, surrounded by hundreds of people, with a ridiculous amount of Christmas lights, street lights, & other colored who knows what doesn't exactly appeal to me...the child/newborn photographer. ha! 

However I always love a challenge so with some help of friends to keep an eye on my kiddos, a couple different lenses, some good running shoes, & great post-processing tools I think they turned out pretty sweet! Check them out!

And if you haven't yet go find Mianna Wick Racing on facebook & Instagram! She's an awesome driver, & a wonderful friend! https://www.facebook.com/miannawickracing/
