Auryan's 10th Birthday Celebration at Skate Express

Happy birthday Auryan!!! Auryan celebrated her first double digit birthday of 10 at Skate Express. It was a challenge to photograph in such low light without resorting to using the flash. I am always up for the challenge. Here are a few of my favorite shots and the link to the entire album for you to enjoy, Auryan's Birthday Album.

Mountain Biking at Holy Jim Trail

Have you heard of the Holy Jim Trail? I have. Well I was told about this trail by my friend Paul David. Today we decided to try it out and climb the approximately 5 mile ride up to the top. It wasn't easy getting to the trail head. We met at 7 am and drove up the mountain to Modjeska Canyon and went off-road for 5 more miles. It took us 30 minutes to get to the trail head. Finally!!!. At 9am we finally got on our bikes to ride. Boy were we excited. Here are some of the pics for you to enjoy, Click Here.

Happy Birthday Farah!!!

First of all I would like to greet Farah Happy 21st Birthday!!! We all had a blast last night at her birthday party. The Arabian Nights theme was fabulous with candlelit dining tables and pillows for seats. They even had hookah to fit with the theme. The open bar provided by bartenders Joanne and Kawin was sensational. It's always fun to see everyone at special occasions like this. I even had fun photographing everyones costumes. Below are some of my favorites. Here is the entire album for you to enjoy, Click Here.

"Run Forest Run" - Kaycee's First 5K Marathon

We have been training for a few weeks running 4-5 miles 3 to 4 times a week so that Kaycee will be ready for competition. She has been dedicated for the last month or so with running mates Vanessa and Christine running up and down the city streets of Brea. Kaycee was very excited and nervous today to participate in first ever marathon. Yes marathon, you read it right - to be correct - 5K. For those that dont know what 5K is, it is equivalent to 3.11 miles. Congratulations to Kaycee, Vanessa and Dina. Kaycee finished 33:46 averaging each mile at 10:52. Here are some of my favorite shots. You can also view the entire album Here.

Triple Crown Series MTB Race - Bonelli Park

Today was my first experience for mountain bike racing. Not to race, but to photograph. I joined my good friend RL and his team, MTN Bike Riders to take photos of the team and watch my first race. Be sure to take a look at their website. Watching some of these "Beginners" race, I realized that I need to be in better shape to participate in competition. Everyone on the team did fantastic! Good job to all of you. Here are a few of my favorite shots. You can also view the entire album, Here.
