Nancy + Roger....at last!

Nancy and Roger finally tied the knot..........after nine years! No, the engagement period didn't last that long. Nancy and Roger actually got married about nine years ago in a civil union by themselves. However, they knew that they always wanted to do it right and fully celebrate their wedding vows with their family and friends. So this past weekend the big date finally arrived, and with help from everyone, the wedding day was a big success! The wedding celebration took place at one of my favorite churches, St. Denis Catholic Church in Diamond Bar. Afterwards, the partying began at the Sierra La Verne Country Club until the wee hours of the morning. Congratulations Nancy and Roger!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there, especially to my wife and my own mom! As a father of two very young children, I've finally realized how valuable and hard working moms really are. To show my appreciation, I didn't want to just give my wife another Mother's Day gift. So what kind of gift could I give her that would show her how great she is and how much I appreciate her hard work? Well, I did it the best way I knew how: photography! So with a little help from the kids, I took a self portrait with them to show what it would be like without my wife's help. I hope you enjoy the results and that it inspires husbands and fathers to further appreciate the work moms do!

High Tea for Hardworking Heroes

I had the honor of attending and volunteering my photographic services for a special event. The Victim Services Unit of the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office had their 3rd annual Staff Appreciation Tea Luncheon at the quaint and bucolic Etiwanda Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. The event was organized by Chief Marilynn Kimball to honor the hard working ladies in the Victim Services Unit and to reward them for a job well done. The unit works with victims of crime in all aspects, from counseling, to restitution, to assistance during the trial process. These are the “behind the scenes” people in our criminal justice system. The District Attorney of San Bernardino County, Michael A. Ramos, and Assistant District Attorney, Jim Hackleman both were in attendance and gave inspiring speeches that expressed their appreciation to the ladies. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed high tea. The ladies went all out and even dressed up for the event! After tea, various gifts from supervisors were raffled off to some lucky winners. Advocate Lorna Soulier and Supervising Advocate Janet Hulse also used their talents to decorate the entire event. In fact, they have their own part time decorating business “Due Angeli the Decorano.” To the ladies of the Victim Services Unit: keep up the great work! Everyone appreciates what an important role you play in making the lives of crime victims better.
