We had an awesome trip to DC.

One of the many highlights was going to Joe Biden’s house for a “backyard barbeque”. What a great party!

max and jake’s big race 2010

This is the second year I’ve been at our friends’ charity race. This year I had a more official role as photographer/videographer. They have done an amazing job raising money for Rady Children’s Hospital.

Even more amazing was that due to a police incident which happened over night, they had to move the entire race to a different location the morning of the race! I was amazed at how well they handled the unexpected move.

And for those of you from San Diego, yes that’s Derek Togerson from NBC San Diego 7/39 who emceed the event and did an incredible job.

You can find out all about the race on their website: www.maxandjakesbigrace.org

I expect to see all of you there for next year’s race!

My wife and kids and I flew to Sacramento for my grandmother’s 99th birthday. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer. We flew in the morning of the party and left the next morning.

It was great to see everyone!

Of course I can’t go to such a big party without bringing all my camera gear…

katelyn + rodney wedding: quick preview

Yes, I am still running way behind with such a busy month for weddings. But I just wanted to post a few photos from Katelyn and Rodney’s wedding at the Hotel Del.

I also wanted to post about this wedding since it’s not often you get to see a surprise performance from a Tony award winning singer and his wife. Christian Hoff won a Tony award for his role in the Broadway musical, The Jersey Boys. He is a friend of the family and surprised Katelyn and Rodney with a beautiful song and awesome performance.

Although Katelyn and Rodney did not hire a videographer, I was able to quickly set up simple lighting and shoot the video of the performance.
(Scroll to the end of this post to see the video.)

Venue: The Hotel Del Coronado

Coordinator: Emily Smily

Flowers and Decor: Wendy Ware Designs

US Navy homecoming

It’s really too bad I don’t have more time to do these military homecoming shoots for Operation Love. I love doing them, but with so much other work I should be doing instead, it’s hard to find the time to do them.

But when I got a call from Teri-Lynn for this shoot, I decided to take the morning “off” and photograph her husband’s  homecoming.

Teri-Lynn has four kids and three grand kids. I know it’s hard to believe that she has three grand kids! It was her husband’s last deployment so this homecoming was particularly special for her and her family.

max and jake’s big race

Our good friends, Paula and Steve Cook, had their 2nd annual charity run and walk at Mission Trails Park yesterday. Their story is amazing and the work they have done for Rady’s Children’s Hostpital is admirable. You can read all about their event at Max and Jake’s Big Race. I can’t believe how much work they put into organizing their charity.

I’m not much of a morning person, but for such a great cause and a great opportunity to get me and my whole family out for a trail walk, I was willing to get out of bed a little earlier. Our kids had a great time including Jackie who I carried on my back the whole time while trying to shoot photos and video.

taylor turns 5

I don’t just shoot weddings. Sure, I’ll even photograph a kids party. What’s not to like about a bunch of kids running around eating cake?

To further enhance my video skills, I photographed and video taped our friend’s daughter’s birthday party.

The party was held at a children’s art studio in North Park, the Rare Hare Studio. What a great place for a party! The kids had a blast doing all sorts of customized art projects for Taylor’s butterfly themed party. For those of you that don’t know, my sister-in-law, runs an art studio which offers art classes for kids with an emphasis on using recycled materials. You should deinitely check out her website and see all the cool projects kids have done there.

So, if you’re having a party for your child, but already have enough on your plate without having to worry about taking photos or video, give me a call.
