Family Portraits: Pasadena

The Faith Foundation "is shaping the future by setting young leaders on a course for success and giving them a head start in their college career. Each year the Faith Foundation awards scholarships that empower students to pursue higher education at a four-year college or university. Since its inception, the Faith Foundation has awarded more than a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships."

Although I am not directly involved with this organization or church I seek to donate my time and talent for worthy causes. Empowering and shaping young leaders is definitely a worthy cause in my eyes. Recently, I had the privilege of donating a family portrait session to a silent auction fundraiser for the Faith Foundation.

The Leong family is the generous family that won this opportunity for a family portrait session. We had their family portrait session at a few different locations around Pasadena so they could have nature as a backdrop as well as some portraits with an urban feel. Thank you for your generosity towards this cause and it was an honor to meet you and get to spend some time with you!

I think that it is very important to give back to the community in whatever ways that we can, so if you would like me to donate my photography to your good cause, please feel free to contact me and we can talk about the details.

Senior Portraits: Courtney

Courtney will be graduating from high school in less than one month! She is such a talented, fun, smart, energetic, beautiful young woman. I have known Courtney for a long time and I can hardly believe that she will be graduating and going off to college. Courtney, I am so proud of you and look forward to hearing about all of your future successes!

Engagement Session: Rancho Palos Verdes

Juliet and Stephen invited me into their home in Rancho Palos Verdes to take their engagement photos. As you will see they have an amazing view from their backyard so it was the perfect spot for their session. I had a great time hanging out with these two and I look forward to documenting their wedding day in September at Wayfarers Chapel. I know it will be a gorgeous, love-filled celebration! Thanks guys for welcoming me into your lives and being so much fun to photograph!

Lifestyle Family Session: Upland

I love this family! I have been photographing them for several years and I love documenting how they change and grow each year. This family session was different from the past ones because we decided to have a "Lifestyle Family Session" where I just documented the family playing and interacting together rather than posing them. It is also like an editorial "A Day in the Life..." I had so much fun and I can't wait until next time!

Engagement Session : Huntington Beach

Sabrina and Joe had their engagement session in downtown Huntington Beach and by the Huntington Beach pier. They told me that Huntington Beach is a special place for them and that it has played a big part in their relationship. As you will see from all the photos below, they really love each other and they LAUGH a lot together. I loved it! I look forward to documenting their wedding this July. Thanks for everything, guys, you are great!
