Sandy and Johnny!!!

For Sandy and Johnny's Wedding it was totally a family affair!
Out in Whittier they had their ceremony at this beautiful little whimsical location, where large trees and sunlight was. It was so great! Sandy rolled up in a red hot bomber and looked so pretty!! Everyone was just so great and though Weddings always start not on time, (wink wink), they still had a wonderful Ceremony.

The reception was all party, down in Downtown Whittier it was so great. Everyone dancing and just celebrating....I had to do a little jig myself lol. Sandy and Johnny, thank you for letting us be apart of your Big Day and for giving us the opportunity in capturing your memories. We had a wonderful time and wishing you all the best and many more years together!!! Thank you!!!

Capturing the harmony to life's melody,

Our Expo Venu: May 1st

Well,
I know it has been awhile since I've been on here. But I have seriously been non-stop busy. With EVERYTHING! Managing everything. Sometimes I wish I was Mary Poppins and with a nod of my head and an open umbrella, my house would be cleaned, my laundry done, my editing finished and my husband fed. lol It has been an exciting time and a wonderful experience to be able to do what I love.......PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you Lord!

Well, our Expo venu was a small event, something to get our feet wet before we jumped into the Main Expo Life! This event was not only for small business owner; but it was to help raise funds for Ethopia. The fellowship of churches I have been apart of since I was a baby, since my mom was a baby and since my grandma was my age, has sent our many missionaires, churches and ministries world wide. "Win one, Build one, Send one" was the moto of the great Pastor Mike Neville, who passed away when I was about 12.

When I was asked to be the photographer for this venu to help support Ethopia, I jumped at the chance! We supplied a winning raffle gift to help and provided Portraits for Anyone who wanted a picture on the spot.

Ok now to the details, which I love love loooove! Our booth was SMASHING! All my hard work paid off. Thank you Vic for not seeing my vision but for helping me anyway hehe. It was awesome, I was very thrilled with the end result. Though it was a small venu, we still got the expereince I was looking for....we are now more prepaired for bigger things!!!

A special thank you to Vanessa Rodriguez for the open invitation and to my wonderful Associates and Assistant!!! Vic, Desirae and Leana. You guys rocked it. Thank you all!
