My good friend Roxana was planning a silent auction to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and asked if I’d donate a session as a bidding item. I didn’t even have to think twice about it – heck yes! A few months after her event, I received an email from Pantipa, who said that she and her husband were having their first baby and wanted to do a maternity session. Pantipa and her husband, Roy were a few weeks away from their due date, and were just the sweetest people you could meet.
Emi’s 1st Birthday: Cerritos, CA
Oh the ingenuity! My college friends, Belle and Lou, found the perfect theme for their daughter’s 1st birthday – Oh the places she’ll go! Hot air balloons and and blue skies everywhere! Even on Emi’s dress!
Belle, with her passion for baking, even made the cake pops and the cake herself!
Hope you had a super happy birthday, Emi!!
Catalla Family: Pierpont Inn
Upcoming nuptials and a grandson on his way – what better reason to get together for family photos?!
When my friend, Reg, asked me to take photos of her parents, sister, brother-in-law and soon-to-be husband; and when she said they’d be spending the weekend at the Pierpont Inn in Ventura (just 20 minutes from the office), I knew it was meant to be. They’re such a close-knit family, and I spent the afternoon enjoying their company, and even feeling the closeness I share with my own parents and sister because of them.
