Before I took off for the holidays, I had the pleasure of photographing a Sweet 16 Birthday Party in Wilmington, Delaware.  Beyond being able to capture the normal birthday events, like cutting the cake and food, this event had the added benefit of allowing me to take a trip down memory lane as I watched the teenagers dance to all the latest songs and then “whip their hair back and forth.”  To the latter point, I came to one conclusion, the goal of that song is to make young folks lose a few brain cells or so, and my reason for saying this is that you cannot continue to whip your head back and forth for the entire song without getting dizzy.  As a matter of fact, after the chorus played through a couple of times, I noticed that these teens were not able to whip their heads back and forth for the remaining choruses.  I think the song is catchy and cute, but perhaps the video should have a disclaimer about not trying this at home!  That may be a bit much, but you get my point.  Anyway, the event was fun to capture, and I have included select images below.

By the way, if you see something you like, please leave a comment!
