Today I attended a LeTip Luncheon with the Irvine LeTip Group, at J.T. Schmid's in the District. It was a really great experience! I met a lot of talented people who truly love their job. I also made a lot of great connections today... networking is always a plus! 50 business cards down. I am certainly aiming for success here. Many thanks to Tracey Plemon for inviting me! If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I should also let everyone know, I don't just photograph people! I love photographing food, plants, homes, businesses, pets, and everything other than people. Let's just say I have a passion for photography. If you know anyone looking for a food photographer, or anyone looking for a real estate photographer, please let me know and/or pass along my information!!

Is anyone having a reunion of any kind this summer? Family/school/class/friend reunions are definitely a ton of fun... seeing people you haven't seen in quite some time can be quite exciting. All the squeals, hugs, laughs, high fives, and memories... well why not let me capture the fun? Candid moments are what make the memories that much better... contact me for a quote!

Yesterday I went to the Costa Mesa - Newport Harbor Lions Club Annual Fish Fry & Carnival, held at Lions Park in Costa Mesa. It's a great non-profit event that helps raise money to give back to the community.

I have many fond memories of attending the Fish Fry as a child, and I know many stories of my parents attending the same event when they were children. I wanted to bring my son and husband to the Fish Fry to start a new seed of memories!

While I was there, I took quite a few great photos of the vendors, as well as the carnival rides. I also got some of the entertainment by LaRocco's Music and the crowd enjoying them.

I really hope I win that Camaro, and I definitely look forward to visiting the Fish Fry next year!

Today I had the opportunity to attend a baby shower for my friend. She has two daughters, but is pregnant with her little man. She has such a great family and awesome friends, and it was a beautiful baby shower! She got so many great things, including hand-made blankets and hooded towels, and a lot of sports-themed clothes (her family is full of Dodgers and 49ers fans).

Congratulations Rodriguez Family on your new little boy!

Finn's 2nd birthday party was a success, despite how blustery it was! Sure, it was breezy, but it was also very bright, cheerful, and fun. Close family and friends came to celebrate with the birthday boy, and everyone had fun playing at the park, kicking the soccer ball, and eating yummy pizza & bright blue Batman cupcakes. Finn didn't like getting the frosting on his hand at first, but shortly after he realized what it was, it ended up all over his face.

Thank you Smith family and friends for allowing me to photograph this special day! Same time next year?


...until next time,

Smile!
