This was my first time shooting at Heritage Park. When I arrived and saw where we were shooting, I thought it was the perfect location for a maternity photo session. When Serena arrived, we immediately went to work. Serena was definitely a natural in front of the camera! Luckily, we were able to shoot when we did because later on that day, she gave birth to her new bundle of joy! Congrats Serena & family :)

My brother & his fiance are expecting their second child and we are super excited! I refer to Reiko (my brother's fiance) as my sister-in-law because they've been together for such a long time that it's like they're pretty much married. lol. We went to a nearby park in Fullerton and spent about an hour there taking pictures. Having two dogs (one of them not pictured) and a 1 year old in tow wasn't the easiest thing to do, but we did it!!

SAMOAN CULTURE DAY :: Orange County Portrait Photographer

SAMOAN CULTURE DAY :: Orange County Portrait Photographer
Thursday, July 7, 2011
Read post
Back in April, a small committee of parents and church leaders from the Garden Grove 2nd Samoan Ward (my home ward, woohoo!) collaborated and put together a 2 day event based on the Samoan Culture. The Youth & Young Single Adults took part in this and learned and performed dances & music. They were even able to watch demonstrations of doing an umu (cooking a pig), preparing taro, fa'i, palusami, taking part in an ava ceremony, learning how to start a fire, weave a basket, and other day to day activities that are still being practiced in the islands today. I feel so privileged to have been part of such a great event. The photos really don't do enough justice of how awesome this event was. On a side note, it always feels good learning more about my own heritage and embracing it with others.



Flyers that were made for the event:
