Bridal/Quinceanera Expo in Los Angeles

My feet are still hurting from standing for over five hours meeting and talking with young ladies and brides-to-be at an expo sponsored by Quince Girl and Macy's at the Pomona Fairplex! There were so many attendees that at times, everyone at our booth was talking at the same time. Since my wife was near the end of her pregnancy with our second child, my sister-in-law, Socorro, agreed to step in and help out. My friend Albert, who owns and runs Lunch Salon in Sierra Madre, graciously volunteered to help set up and even run the booth. The expo was fast-paced and full of energy, with fashion shows, raffles, and free food. We were all so hyped up from all the positive energy that it seemed almost sad to have to break the booth down. Luckily, I was able to take a few photographs of the booth and the expo. Unfortunately, I was so busy taking the photos, I forgot to include myself in any of them!

A Triple Threat!!!

I had a very challenging but rewarding time trying to capture a Christmas family portrait for Kirsten and Jorge a few weeks ago. The challenge wasn't the friendly couple, but their triplet sons! Just getting all three of the kids to look at the camera at the exact same time was an accomplishment! They choose the beautiful Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont for their backdrop. The boys were great to work with and we finally got a few shots of everyone looking right into the camera! The last photo is the one Jorge and Kirsten chose to use as their Christmas portrait.
