Disney's California Adventure

We decided before leaving San Antonio that we wanted to take Melany to Disney's California Adventure. And to be honest, I felt so exhausted from all the activities that weekend that we almost didn't go. But I figured I would take one for the team and suck it up.

Well, I'm glad I did because we had a great time. Emily joined us which was nice because I was only able to watch Melany and get on the baby rides due to my pregnancy and nausea. Melany really liked the Little Mermaid and Monsters Inc. ride, carousel and taking pictures with Mickey and Princess Sophia.

Athena and Ashish's wedding!

    I spend the night on Saturday in the hotel room with Athena. Actually, I shared a bed with one of my favorite gals. She is my sister in law but she almost feels like my long lost sister. She is so kind, patient, understanding and genuine. Did I mention she is gorgeous?

   It was Thanksgiving 2012 when we were riding in a car back to LA from San Diego. She wanted my opinion on whether she should get to know Ashish. I said something like "sure, give it a try.. you never know what could happen."

     And there we were on March 2, 2014, Athena and Ashish's wedding day. It was a beautiful wedding, beautiful yacht, beautiful atmosphere. The beach, the flowers, the excitement! Being a bridesmaid gave me a chance to see a lot of behind the scenes of how hard both worked to make this day so memorable.

   The love for the couple was felt by both sides of the family. Their true love is evident. And Athena couldn't be/look more beautiful and happy. Everything turned out great! Everyone looked so sharp and the happiness was felt throughout the whole event. It was the first time we met Ashish. And I could tell he is madly in love with her and vise versa.

                                                    Truly a fairy tale wedding!

Day #3 in LA- Family Photos at the Korean Bell

I've been working on a digital photography certification through Kennesaw University. I still have a lot of "hands on" work to do to be comfortable with taking photos. But I thought it would be fun to take some shots of the family.

It was so hard to take these photos as there was so much rain and wind that I could barely keep the lens dry. Nonetheless, I did the best I could to capture the beauty and fun that comes from families. The photos took a good part of the day for us in LA on our 3rd day there (Saturday). We went to Mulligans after and it was nice to catch up with family members.

I really enjoyed capturing all the families individually and as a whole. As you can tell, they are a funny bunch!
