A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Get there early, check lighting and backgrounds for future reference.

Make a point of getting pictures of young guests with or without their parents as soon as they get there, especially the littles. This way, you'll have pictures of them without cake in their hair, which their parents will appreciate, and possibly remember you when they need a photographer.

A loud squeaky toy can be a great aid to getting little kids to look at you for a photo. Works great with pets as well.
