Beauty is in the Eyes of Beholders - Los Angeles Photographer

At the turn of weather, when the cold air kisses the trees, the leaves start blushing.  The thing is, these trees are lining up a major street.  What does it take for one to start taking in the beauty of the season?  Is it how many times one has to drive through the street?  Is it the time of the day that you are looking at them?  Or is it the right mood that one has to be in? To me, it didn't matter that I just came back from a photo session and cuddling up in sofa sounded like a comfortable thing to do.  How can I ignore the splendid display of the colors when the leaves were saying their final farewell?  I parked the car and was blessed with this beautiful piece of art.

Do you want to take a guess at where this is, if you have ever been to Hacienda Heights, California? ;-)

P.S. Any image in the Fine Art Photography category can be purchased to adorn your beautiful home.  Please contact me for sizes and presentation options.  Many easy to install solutions to be recommended.

A Memorable Party, A Memorable Family - Los Angeles Event/Party Photographer

When Lissette contacted me about a surprise party that she and her family was planning for her mother, I was so excited and almost rushed out of my mouth "hire me, hire me".  That's exactly the kind of environment where I'd love the energy from, the care, the love and, of course, the surprise. :-) Lucky for me, I got to experience the wonderful party, at a beautiful venue while all the festivities were in the air.

Lissette, I'd say all the hard work that went into the party was worth it, even though you had to hide it from your mom while doing the planning under the same roof!  What a fun party - the hugging and kissing (:-)), the nice food, the mariachi band and the dancing, the dancing, and more dancing.  Even with the tears coming up when you and your sister were giving a speech, I'd still say it's a great party. :-)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience such a beautiful party and to meet your beautiful family!  And Aida, happy birthday!  I'm sure the memories of this night will stay with you for a long time, with the help of my pictures. :-)

Hello all my friends, happy 2011!!!  I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support in the past year.  Without your visits to this website and your insightful comments, it wouldn't have been as much fun to keep posting. :-)

P.S. What's the prize, you might ask.  As I hinted at the end of last year, I was making a 2011 calendar with some of the beautiful pictures taken in Vietnam and Cambodia.  What better way to experience the beauty of South-east Asia, for a whole year, without the expenses of traveling?
