A Day With Zavyer

There was really no better way to spend a rainy President’s Day off than hanging out with Isa, Nick and their newest little boy, Zavyer. Ate Tin, Larnie, Gwennie and I drove down to Anaheim that morning and took turns carrying Baby Z Ballon and catching up with the new mommy and daddy, not to mention organizing an impromptu photo shoot.

How many people does it take to take pictures of a 3-week old? Apparently 5 adults. Gwennie held up Zavyer’s musical mobile which keeps him calm, Ate and Larnie were dancing around to keep him from crying, Nick was in charge of taking his pacifier away so I can take pictures and then putting it back in as soon as I was done. Ise videotaped us the whole time, just cracking up at our antics. HILARIOUS!

Ise and Nick – great people, great friends who I can already see are great parents. Thanks for letting us hang out all day, you two!

Where It All Started

I spent Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday at Disneyland. Having spent a great amount of my time there when I was at UCI, it was literally like a second home to me, not to mention to Ate Tin and Annie. We went there after work/class on the weeknights, if only to forget a hectic day or terrible feeling. It was, and always has been, a treat for me to be there. This long weekend, however, was different. For once, I didn’t go to Disneyland to just hang out and have fun. On that MLK weekend, I was on assignment which, I have to say, I really didn’t mind, especially since I’m shooting with two of my mentors =)

Ate and Jeff had their first date at a restaurant in Downtown Disney, and since then have invested in annual passes each year so they could spend some time together somewhere that never fails to bring happiness to people. It was only fitting that they asked for their lifestyle shoot to take place there. I saw Disneyland through (forgive the upcoming pun) a new set of lenses. That day wasn’t about allowing myself to be a kid; it was about watching Ate and Jeff, and looking forward to their Happiest Ever After…
