Ah, yes, I have been slacking on posting…however…here are some great pics of Dana and Shoe’s wedding. The had the ceremony at John Baca Park in Huntington Beach, and the reception in the front yard area of their apartment.  Great family, friends, and of course, neighbors!  The weather was perfect, and the day was even better.

What a great weekend.  Friday night, I shot Jaydan’s birthday party at Scooter’s Jungle in Aliso Viejo.  What a great place for kids and adults.  Jaydan turned 2 years old, and let me tell you, he had a blast!  Scooter’s Jungle is in a wherehouse, where they have big rooms with giant blow up slides, jumpers, zip lines, air hockey, ping pong, and all kinds of toys for the kids to play with. You get your own private room with jumper and play area, food area with tables and benches and your own private bathroom–unlike Chuck E. Cheese, where you are being ran into by other people’s out of control children.  A Host is assigned to you, and MCs the cake cutting, birthday song, food, and cuts the cake, cleans up the messes, serves the kids and everything. THEY ARE AWESOME!  I highly recommend you all try it for a party.   Of course a personal thank you to Amrita, Jaydan’s mom, who graciously invited my daughter to attend while I was shooting.  She was one of the oldest kids (except for those kids over 21) and had the best time!

On a shorter note, I booked 2 more dates for weddings and birthday parties this year, so my calendar is filling up fast!

Have a great week to you all, and enjoy the pics from Scooter’s Jungle.

I absolutely love to shoot traditional East Indian Weddings.  The colors of the sarees are wonderful for photographs, there is always a performance or two by family members, the bride wears beautifully handcrafted, beaded clothing, bangles, gold jewelry, and henna.  I spent four days with Tania and Ahmed–The Mehndi, Pithi, Wedding day,  and Satada.  Four days of fun, good food, family, and celebration.

What a great time I had with these girls.  I remember when I had that much energy.  It was a “Night Club” theme.  These girls had everything from music, to ice cream bar, to professional dancers.  You can only imagine what happens when you mix a camera, backdrop, teenage girls and props!

This has become an annual event for me.  Dilan and his Brother Jayden are just adorable. Their mom always plans a fabulous party, fun for all.

Similar to a Quinceanera, Filipino’s have a big 18th birthday celebration for their daughters.  I had a wonderful time photographing this event.  This was the first one that I had the privilege of shooting. Liaren was so beautiful in her dress.  Her color was purple–my fav! I think my favorite part was the “18 Candles” ceremony.

Nadia and Ray were married in Whittier at the Candlewood Country Club. They had a reception at Geezer’s in Santa Fe Springs on the patio. The day couldn’t have been anymore perfect.  Nadia made a beautiful bride!

Miss Bianca celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in Huntington Beach, CA.  She had a wonderful party with her friends and family and we did both photo and video for this special celebration.

You would think that after doing photography for so many years that I would have a blog by now. Well, I guess better late than never.  As some of you may know, I have been photographing for as long as I can remember.  I have a great love for not only photography, but for people, life, and love itself.  No matter who my subject is, I want to tell their story.  A pregnant mom, a new baby, weddings, birthdays, they all have a story and it’s my passion to tell the story of that moment in time through photographs.  When I see a portrait of someone from a hundred years ago, I look to find what kind of person they were, how they were feeling and that moment in time and what their life may have been like.  Photographs are a historical record to pass down to generations to come.  We may be gone, but our images are forever.
