Miss Koch...

There are times in your life when one loses contact of people then God brings them back into your life from your childhood. I've had the absolute pleasure of knowing Christiana and the Koch family since I was a little kid. After switching churches and life leading our families in different directions we unfortunately lost touch... however here were are again! We took a drive to El Dorado Park and the Long Beach Aquarium and just had fun! Transitioning from High School to OCC, Christiana looks to study and ROCK the marine biology field!!!

Christiana,  it's been an absolute joy watching you grow up from a little girl in the nursery to a beautiful young lady ready to glorify God with your talents and incredible knowledge. I look forward to seeing where God leads you whether you choose to stay here in California or out of state. May you always remember to hold on to God's hand and He will never lead you astray! Who knows maybe one day I'll see you putting on shows and being the lead trainer at Sea World or some place AMAZING like that!

God Bless!

Miss Olivia Hinton...

 Two years ago I had the pleasure of taking pictures for a dear family friend... Today I was able to take pictures of another member from that family. Olivia Hinton is the dear family friend who I got to spend time with today. I've known the Hintons since i was a "little" Carlos with a squeaky voice. We took a stroll to the Cerritos Public Library and found some neat textures and beautiful backdrops. 

Olivia, it's been incredible to see you grow up and blossom into a beautiful and intelligent young lady! I look forward to seeing where God leads you in life and the amazing things He will have you do and the people you will touch. May God richly bless you as you transition into college. 

God Bless,

Miss Brown...

I had the absolute privilege spending time with a wonderful young lady who not only a dear friend of mine, but is also like my sister. I've known Giselle for the past 6 years but I feel like I've known her my ENTIRE life. We decided to take a stroll to the beautiful city of Irvine and just hang out! The weather was beautiful, the location stunning and the company was world-class. She has spent this last year rocking the Nursing program at Biola University and is on my speed dial if my health were to rapidly decline

My darling Giselle,

You are seriously a blessing in my life and it's an honor to call you my friend and "sister". I'm extremely proud of you and I can't wait to see where God leads you and the lives you will touch. I've loved spending time with you and I look forward to the many more adventures we will have in the near future. You are a joy to be around and a beautiful lady with and incredible heart!

God Bless,

Miss Reyes and OC Revolution...

Today I had the absolute privilege and blessing of watching my little cousin play soccer. Now for those of you who don't know, she hasn't played soccer in a couple of years, and this was the first time that I was able to watch her play. In a beautiful day in Lancaster California, we packed up our folding chairs, ice chest and headed up north. She ended up winning her games 6 - 0 & 2 - 1, capturing first place in their pool... advancing to the round of 32 in State Cup. 

Here are just a couple of pictures from today's matches. Leslie, I love you very much Stinky, and it's an absolute blessing and joy watching you play out there! I love you very much and I can't wait to see where God takes you with your talents!!!

 I LOVE YOU!!!!

Miss Davis...

Today I had the absolute privilege taking Miss Shaina Davis' senior pictures! We started off our afternoon adventures at Twin Lakes Park in Garden Grove. We walked along the park 

and made some stops, visited with ducks and even encountered some angry people

who were clearly not happy to be alive! From there we drove to the Garden walk where part 2 of our adventure. With Shaina wearing a green formal dress, we stuck out like a sore thumb! Regardless we had a great time driving around, talking about future education plans and snapping some neat pictures!

 

Dear Shaina, 

Thank you for a great evening! It was great chatting with you and hearing your plans 

for the future. I pray that God would bless you on your academic endeavors at Junior College then at Cal Poly Pomona. Remember to always hold on to God's hand and go where ever He leads you. 

God Bless,

Mr. Luiz...

Today's adventure was hands down one of my memorable ones to date. I have the blessing of taking pictures for a dear fried of mine, Eric Luiz. We drove around Huntington Beach and we found some neat locations. I've known Eric and the Luiz family for many years... I even took his sisters senior pictures! Here are some of my favorite from the afternoon.

Eric, I can't wait to see where God guides you on your new phase of life! You are such a blessing to me and it's an honor to call you my friend and brother! I pray that you have a GREAT college experience and you never forget to let God guide you.

Mr. Plotz...

 Coming up to Santa Clarita for the day, I had the pleasure of spending the day taking pictures and hanging out with Stephen Plotz today. Being here at school makes it difficult for me to drive down to So Cal and take pictures of those back home, so instead Stephen came up here for the day. Not knowing where to take pictures, we decided to drive throughout Santa Clarita and see what we could find. In doing so, we found this beautiful residential area where we decided to stop and take some pics. After that, we returned to my school and took some pictures there and hung out the rest of the day.

Stephen I pray that as you continue your studies at Cypress College that God would continue to richly bless you! I pray that your passion for photography would grow and that you are able to bless many people with your talents. Thanks for a great day and I look forward too seeing you continue to grown into a man of God!
