ME! {Anaheim California Portrait Photographer}

So, Today I had Vic do a mini session of me!!! lol...thats right ME!

It was sort of for two reasons:

1. Being I needed to update my own portrait on our Blog, Website and Social Networks....my hair grew! lol. Plus not to mention I felt like gettin' all pretty with curling irons and make up! lol

AND...

2. Being...well, Ive been eating and exercising for the past few weeks and IVE LOST 5 LBS!!! Im totally proud of myself...So, In celebration..in my own way, I wanted to update some portraits. Yes, heaven knows that the CHOCOLATE DEMON still calls my name...but with my buddies, Apple and Peanut-Butter....I can fight the good fight! haha.

Anyway, Back to my Vic. With me leading lol he was behind the camera! He did a great job; though I did check almost every single one and gave him pointers. haha I felt like I was in a mentoring session. Anyway, take a look and as you can see by our WELCOME SIGN, I've already implemented these...hehe. Thanks and enjoy! :)

Mariah's Graduation Party c/o 2010! {Coto De Caza Senior Photographer}

Well,

Ok, so I know I've been a little behind on posting...please forgive me people! Ok, Here it is...FINALLY. We've got several preview images of Mariah's Graduation Party. It was such a blast.....Let me start from the beginning. The minuet I got out of my car was just details and decor and celebration EVERYWHERE. Mariah's Car was decked out in Grad Stickers and Graffiti lol, totally cool! Than I went inside and everything was such a gorgeous decor! White and black was the color theme and crystals, feathers, boas, lanterns and gorgeous-ness everywhere you turned! The centerpiece were so cool, because they even glowed at night!

Mariah's parents started the night off with a wonderful slideshow, that yes, I will admit I got teary eyed. Than the FOOD!!! Yvonne (Mariah's Mom), Seema (We love her too) and Seema's Husband, Chuck, made some homemade ITALIAN FOOD!! I was thinking in my head...OH GREAT????? WEll, Thank goodness I'm not wearing WHITE! lolol...Because I knew I would totally stuff my face and with my luck....tomato sauce EVERYWHERE....lol.

It was so nice and lovely, a few of Mariah's close friend were there along with close family and family friends, just so nice and wonderful! THAN....7:00pm CAME! and OH EM GEE...Mariah had left the Dinner Party to go get ready for the 2nd half of this Grad-Shin-Dig.....Invitations were sent out to all her friends, ummm just about 200 OF THEM....that after 7:00pm they are going to have the Grad Night Party, but the theme was to come dressed in a costume that started with the letter "G".....we had GREASERS, GANGSTERS, GWEN STEFANI made an appearance (wink wink), there was a GUMMI BEAR, and my favorite GARTH from Wayne's World! It was HILARIOUS and SO MUCH FUN!

As Mariah finished up getting ready, she put on her Hot Pink Pumps, Hot Pink Lipstick and the ever so cool Leather Gloves and with the last touch, Knee-Highs.....she transformed into LADY GAGA!! I was just amazed at her HAIR!! HAIR-LARIOUS (ok, that was cheesy but whatever). It was awesome....did a few photo shoots as LADY GAGA (not me...lol mariah) and than just snapped, danced and partied the night away! The photo booth was wonderful, the Dancing was great and she had a wonderful time!!

To Yvonne, Brian, Gilda (her grandma) and Mariah....Thank you for letting me be apart of this MOMENTOUS ;) occasion. It was so much fun and I truly hope you enjoy these images. Thank you again, you brave brave parents for letting all these crazy teens into your house! lol. Thanks again and enjoy!

Oh....Seema and Yvonne...I loved the decor!! Chuck....can you teach Vic how to make that SAUCE?????? mmmmmm

Mariah's Graduation Dinner

This was my cousin's graduation dinner party. With my family, you have to understand that we are very very close. The girl cousins are like sisters and we all grew up together. So, when the baby of the grandkids, Mariah, was graduating from high school, all of our family pulled together and put on an awesome dinner for her! My grandma, aunts, cousins, uncles and everyone helped. It was awesome...this is just a bit of what is to come....and yes, the head of the decor I will admit was myself **taking a bow** lol. Enjoy everyone, it was totally every bit vintage cute-ness! Thanks again!
