Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great weekend of family fun and it was great to just spend time with the kids and other visiting family members. I didn’t even turn on my MacPro! Now, the iPhone…that’s another story. I got hooked on the Words with Friends game over the weekend. But at least, I consider it a brain training game :) But, I did my usual mix of online shopping and Christmas Eve mall madness. Thank god for Amazon and their Prime two day shipping! The kids got a ton of stuff and we’ll be doing our usual store-in-the-closet-until-a-later-time method.

Just wanted to share our Christmas card for this year. Thanks to ProDPI for printing them out so fast! Their smooth matte paper is pretty sweet.

Now it’s back to work. Still got lots to do before the new year!

Here’s another one at Rancho Las Lomas. Good thing, we love it there! :) We had the honor of joining Megan and Chris for their super fun wedding. They looked pretty awesome and we had a blast shooting portraits with them. Rancho has so many cool little spots that it’s always a treat to find the new ones. They had a fun, fun, fun group and I’m sure DJ Brian Thomas Lee of Elevated Pulse had a good time mixing it up for them. Here are some highlights:

Shooting family portraits are not usually our forte, but when we get the opportunity to do them, it’s always a cool little challenge for us. Cindy and Will are getting married next year and they had a big family gathering to celebrate the engagement. We had some time with the happy couple and we also took our biggest group photo ever! Big groups = not easy. Secret weapon was a HUGE ladder!!

Another day at one of the coolest and most unique venues in Orange County. We love coming back to Rancho Las Lomas! It was great to see Cathy and Frank along with their super fun friends and family. There was A LOT of dancing and it made for a ton of fun pics. Thanks to Melinda Chu who helped the day go by flawlessly, 24 Carrots for the delish food and Essence Entertainment for keeping the crowd happy and dancing. Here are some highlights:

Julie and Larry are so much fun. They really know how to let loose and have fun with each other…such a great quality to have. Everything took place at The Westin Pasadena, a very cool location right there in the Plaza Las Fuentes. Pretty cool spots for photos! It’s always wonderful to work with Carolyn Chen and her awesome crew at The Special Day. Their ball room looked so great! Also, great to see Gina and Tommy from Mille Fiori Floral Design...they never desappoint. Here we go:
