Thompson kids

As you can see, they are all gorgeous kids. Grace the youngest had burned her little finger before I arrived at their home but remarkably she was in good spirits, Haylee is so lucky to be the oldest and she loves the camera as well as Ethan, his Indiana Jones smile was truly memorable. Thanks for the cookie platter it was sweet.

Kevin & Jennalyn

We headed to Santa Monica Beach and Pier, and I tell you this couple is so playful and so in love you can see it in their eyes. They marry in April next year and I can not wait to be there for their wedding, they bring back memories of my own wedding. Thanks guys for just being you.

Anycca's Quinceanera

Anycca was presented as a member of the society on November 14, 2008. Her ceremony was traditional with mariachis that played beautifully. Her reception hall was absolutely adorned in pink, the festive mood of the night was electric and heartwarming.

Anycca

I had the pleasure of photographing Anycca this past week, she is turning 15 next month and her parents are honoring her with a Quinceanera. "The quinceanera is a young Hispanic woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday. This birthday is celebrated differently from her other birthdays. The quinceanera is considered to be the most important birthday as it symbolizes the transition from childhood to womanhood. This event is usually customary with a Mass and Celebration that follows"

Maria and Octabio Silva are the proud parents of this fine young woman. She is so excited and eager for her day to come and I am honored to be her photographer and capture her day to be remembered forever.
