{simplyEVENTS} - ALEE'S 18TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Cameron and I had a great time covering Alee's 18th Birthday Celebration aka "Debut".A debut is a Filipino traditional rite of passage celebrating a daughter's 18th birthday.You can say it's quite similar to a "Quinceanera" celebration.The group was very fun and energetic, we almost couldn't keep up with the up and coming generation.We also did Alee's grad shoot a couple weeks back and it was such a pleasure to work with her again on her birthday. You go girl!!!




This is me caught working behind the camera, can anybody find me in this picture? =)














This one is such a nice shot captured by Cameron while Alee was overlooking the water.It was a lovely day at Jack London Square Marina for a shoot.

A DAY TRIP TO YOSEMITE

So we took a day trip to Yosemite this past Friday.There was a forrest fire burning just before the entrance to the main tunnel on the 120,through out the valley the view of the granite mountains had this blue haze.We got out late so we didn't get to arrive at the park until 2pm.We mostly hung around the Merced River with a gorgeous view of Yosemite Fallsand the kids had fun playing on the sandy shore.Definitely wasn't enough time for us to enjoy the place completely (as usual),so next time around we're gonna stay at least for a weekend.We continued our holiday by driving down to Arnold, CA on Saturdayand stayed at a friend's cabin with our circle of good friends.Good company, good food, and good times!Also thanks to our friend Ochee for coming down from Seattle to visit us.Hope you guys had a good July 4th weekend!~ Cam

Another fun and playful photo shoot!I really enjoy taking portraits of children because it makes me feel like a kid all over again.Little Miss Leila's grown so much since I last saw her at her 1st birthday party this past May.
