Create SnapShot with error reporting (Try/Catch)

Ok so my goal is to create a script that will automate creating a snapshot of a server but will catch errors and send an email based off the error. 

From what I can tell Try/Catch blocks will be the best way to accomplish this.  This is what I have so far but I cant get it to catch the error.

Here is the snippet of the code

try

{

Get-VM $serverVMName | new-snapshot -Name "dppfr-$serverVMName-$TimeStr" -Description "Automated backup" 

}

catch [system.exception]

{

sendError

}

Any thoughts?
