Pictures for a cause... Pet Portraits, Upland,CA pet photography

I would like to welcome the 2010 HOPE Calendar models... As most of you know I am with HOPE (Helping Out Pets Everyday) I have been VP of this Non-Profit Organization for over 5 years and I couldn't ask to be with a better organization, we have so many wonderful volunteers and of course the cuties and best est rescues... One of my favorite things I get to do every year is take pictures of some of our once homeless cats and dogs and put them in our annual calendar, our calendars are our largest fundraiser and we really try to spread the word so we can raise more money to save more homeless animals lives like these ones you see here... Some of cats and dogs were in the Upland Animal Shelter and were not doing to well, some needed surgery and medical care and because of HOPE they were able to get a second chance and live the life they all deserve.

Each calendar is a donation of $10 and if you or anyone you know might like to get one of these cute calendars I know someone that can hook you up : ) They are very professional looking and come shrink wrapped just like off the store shelf.

Are you hungry??? Chuck Wagon BBQ, Pomona,CA photography

Like I said I LOVE photographing food.... and yes you know it I had some of this good grub during and after the shoot, I look at it like hey most of it's protein and we wouldn't want it to go to waste right : )

This is food prepared by the CHUCK WAGON, if you have been to any of the fairgrounds in California I am sure you have seen or better yet eaten at their place, they make the best BBQ food ever and the picture of the cornbread with chocolate, ohhhh yea very yummy!!

We did this photo shoot so they can re-vamp their vendor booth and menu, and wow wait till you see how it turned out, these are just a some of the delicious pictures of their food they serve and if you look towards the bottom of this you will see the finial product. Every picture on the menu and large vendor stand is mine down to the bull scull and wagon wheel. I was so impressed with the larger than life pictures of BBQ ribs and all...

Don't forget to stop by the Chuck Wagon at the LA Fair right next to the red bard where the live animals are. Tell them I sent you!!!

Getting a Hair cut...

Ok I may have gone a little crazy with the photos of my daughter Javyn getting her hair cut, but it was a special day for her... she grew her hair out so that she could donate it to Locks of Love.
My awesome hair stylest Esther at Bella Bella Hair Boutique in Pasadena did an amazing job as usual. I have been going to Esther for over 10 years and if you or anyone you know need their hair done you need not to look anymore... And by the way I will be soon doing the same thing as Javyn just as soon as my hair grows past my knees, JK!!

Christina and Paul...

In Azusa, Ca hides this beautiful house called the Lindley Scott House... Their ceremony took place outside in the garden area and the reception moved inside where the the party began.. Paul recently had just come back from serving in Iraq, bless his heart! so I am sure it wasn't only a celebration of a marriage but also for Paul's safe return home. We met Christina from her sisters wedding we photographed a couple of years ago Desiree and David and we were lucky enough to be chosen as their wedding photographer. Congrats!! Paul and Christina... I had such a blast at your wedding and so glad I was able to capture your special day for you...
