Grace gets to see fireworks at Disney Land

---

Grace has been to Disney Land a few times now.  Heck, I’d go as far as to say she is a pro!  But until this past friday, she has not seen the fireworks.  So I joined the fam at the park for some roller coasters, ginormous turkey legs and capped the night off with some fireworks.  Now, just to keep is more chill for the little one, we stayed outside the park.  We just found a nice spot and plopped down!

Zoomars Petting Zoo with Aunt B

Every now and again, My Aunt Barbara (Aunt B) comes over to visit.  When she gets with Heather and Grace, they have so much fun.  They often go to Disneyland together, to Grace’s classes and sometimes, just hang out.  I love seeing my aunt because:

• She has great hugs
• She has a cool relationship with Grace
• She loves showing Jordan that she loves him
• Being around her makes me feel good

This Monday, she came down with her friend Yuko and her son Ryosei and they joined Heather and Grace at the Zoomars Petting Zoo in San Juan Capistrano.  I pretended that I was too busy to join them and I showed up a little later with camera in hand to capture some of their fun!

I had the great pleasure to work with a few other photographers on a wedding for Tom and Maggie. Their ceremony took place at the Greaystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The venue is impressive but it was no comparison to the beauty that was oozing from those in attendance. I just met Tom and Maggie on the day of the wedding and I was happily surprised at how cool they were. I was treated like I was their primary photographer even though I was there to lend a hand to a friend.

If you have a chance to visit the Greystone Mansion, DO IT! The grounds are beautiful and the view was outstanding. I would really like to photograph a wedding there again! There really are great locations all around… there is a spot with rows of cypress trees, the mansion’s architecture is cool, there is a reflection pond complete with live turtles! As a wedding photographer, I was giddy!

I would like to thank Oz Wroe and his lovely assistant (and wife, Ali) for inviting me along. Please visit oz’s blog (www.ozvisuals.com/blog) to see a slideshow of the day. I love shooting with Oz, we get a long great and really work well together! I also met Jon Chan (www.jonchanphotography.com) and just like Oz, Jon is one cool guy! He works very efficiently and professionally and I am going to make sure that I work with him again – you hear me Jon?!?!?. And we were all joined a good friend of mine, Kyle Serra (kserravideo.webs.com). He is a great videographer and has helped me a lot in the past when it came to editing video. He is a joy to work with and I cannot wait to see his edit of the footage! Thanks Kyle!

Tom and Maggie, I want to thank you for allowing me to join you on your wedding day. I had a ton of fun! I hope you enjoy the photos.

And baby makes…

… well, FIVE actually. Last Friday, we ALL joined Heather for her ultrasound. Grace as being her normal crawly, tossing everything, wanting freedom way… Jordan was being helpful with her and was playing with the camera (a couple of his shots are below) and Heather and I were just waiting patiently. This is the second time seeing this same ultrasound doctor and he was happy to see us again, and so soon!

We are going to find out the sex of the baby but we do not know yet. The baby had his/her legs crossed. Our plan is to learn the sex of the baby during a BBQ for Fathers Day. For the record, Jordan is hoping for a boy. Grace has not mentioned any preference. Heather feels strongly that it is a boy and for me, I know that lightning does not strike twice but it would be cool to have another daughter with Graces personality!

Headshots, Jordan, Saliva – OH MY!
