The Spencers

After I bought my very first Canon camera,
I took it to a surf competition that Wes was in.

One of the very very first images I ever captured (other than of Linus or Wes) was of two (at the time) toddler children, Alyssa (then 3) and Ty (then 1).

The image I took was that of Alyssa kissing her brother on the forehead. 
A moment between two siblings.
A moments of innocent and unconditional love.

Today I had the opportunity to photograph these two amazing and loving children once again
but this time with their fabulous parents...

There is no doubt that this family is full of genuine love.
Spouse to spouse.
Sibling to sibling.
Parents to children.
Children to parents.

Its the kind of love you get when you spend endless hours of playing, and talking and bonding with your children.
Heart to heart.
Person to person.
Friend to friend.

I admire the Spencers for the family they have built and I can only hope that one day Wes and I will have the same.

It was a great pleasure to have captured these for you.
Relish and Enjoy!

Sarina's 40th

Lets just say that when I turn 40 I want a party just like this...
 Plenty of great drinks for guests
 adorable little details
 Yummy desserts

Your own personal photographer ;)
and you got it... 
this party had me at Chanel.
Kidding (sort of)
The best part of this party, was none of the things mentioned above...
it wasn't even the fancy (and beautiful) shoes
 or the gorgeous jewelry
it was more than those material things....
What made this party exactly what I want for my 40th party is the
L O V E 
and
F R I E N D S H I P.
As Sarina told me
"I wouldn't trade it for the world"

S O much love.
S O much laughter.
S O much fun.
People danced.
Talked
 and enjoyed each other's company.
They were all gathered here
 for this one special young lady
A toast for Sarina
What a night.
What a party.
What a girl.
It seems as though, Sarina,
you are very loved.
