The story of Ava Rose Marcellus

2011-10-05T15:35:00.000-07:00

At four weeks of age Ava Rose Marcellus was diagnosed with a heart defect that affects the oxygen in her body called Transposition of the great arteries. Basically the two main arteries that pump oxygen to the lungs and body need to be switched in a open heart arterial switch surgery. Because this defect was not detected at birth Ava suffered from a brain injury due to lack of oxygen to her brain. Things were not looking good for Ava and because of the severity of her brain injury open heart surgery was not recommended for sometime for fear of additional bleeds to her already severely damaged brain.
This grim prognosis was given over a year ago. Ava is now 14 months old and developing in so many amazing ways doctors never thought she would. She is still in need of the arterial switch surgery and has undergone several surgeries to keep her heart functioning today. She is a miracle and an answer to many many prayers. The family continues to hope and pray for a full recovery once the surgery is complete.

Breaking it down w/ Roberto Valenzuela

2011-06-23T17:14:00.000-07:00

I attended Roberto Valenzuela's Workshop 'Break it Down' in Los Angeles, CA. It truly was an intensive 12 hour workshop. Roberto went through many different techniques and various posing scenarios. My mind was filled with so many new ideas by the end of the day. Roberto highly stresses, 'attention to detail, attention to detail' - something so simple, but yet overlooked. Thank you Roberto for opening my mind and others to how simple it can be when looking through the view finder and seeing something completely different and exciting! Here's some images I got of Hanssie Trainor, as we both went out on our own to practice what we learned..

Here's a slideshow of what I captured.

Thank you Luke Pamplin for finding a perfect tune..
Song: Thrice - 'Come All You Weary'

This is Tony. Never did get his last name. He started to talk to me as I was on the ground shooting. He asked, "What's this for?". I explained and we held a 20 minute conversation. We talked bout a lot of things, how he got there (homeless), politics, weather, and God. He grabbed some clothing and prayed with the rest of us. When we departed, I asked, "Hey, I need your info!", then I thought to myself, how would he have any, address, cell phone, e-mail. He answered, "I'll see you in heaven." And that's when it hit me. "Of course, heaven! I'll see you there." We both smiled and went our ways. God bless Tony.

Downtown LA....out there, somewhere..

2011-04-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

Writer's block, artist's block, human block.....whatever you wanna call it, I am experiencing it right now. So, what do I do, go somewhere high. Somewhere nobody is, but myself and mother nature. If you can't walk away from that and feel somewhat cured...there's something wrong. Sometimes all it takes is a little walk, an open eye 'n ear, and a camera wouldn't hurt. Breathe, smile, and believe.

Spring Cleaning!

2011-03-28T13:21:00.000-07:00

I was cleaning out my closet and found this magazine stashed away. I guess you can say it's looooong over do to blog about. Only 3 years to be exact. I shot a beautiful spring themed tablescape by Wildflower Linen at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club back in March 2008 with the help of Desiree Patterson. The flowers were by Cina of Flowers By Cina and table & chairs by Classic Party Rental s. It was published in the March 2008 issue of Style J, a Korean women's lifestyle magazine. I couldn't find them on the web and believe they are no longer in circulation. But hey, it's pretty cool!

We had a fun afternoon at Cal Poly Pomona where Ryan went to college. Then went to the Original Farmer's Market and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. We went to dinner between shooting, at the AOC Wine Bar & Restaurant. Thank you Lesley & Ryan. Can't wait for next year!

thank you to Michelle Aviles Brydenthal of Bryde~N~All Weddings & Events!

(On 12/18/10 photographer Jeff Almquist came to our rescue. I was assisting Angel Brides http://www.ocregister.com with seven benefit weddings at the Crystal Cathedral. Yes, seven at one time!! Christine & Edwin's photographer cancelled the day of the wedding so I sent out a request, literally a few hours before the wedding, for someone who could donate their talent to a lovely couple. Big hearted Jeff stepped up to help out and took out some impressive photo's and memories for them that will last this couple a lifetime.)

Christine + Edwin | Orange County Wedding Photographer

2010-12-30T09:24:00.000-08:00

On Saturday, Dec. 18th, I responded to a forwarded email from my photographer friend, Holly Gratner, regarding a bride in need of a photographer. Apparently, Angel Brides and Events Taylormade was asked to facilitate TEN weddings as part of a larger event for Benefitall. Benefitall had cancelled the event at Angel Stadium due to the high rain forecast. Once the news broke, many vendors had dropped out - including some brides. The email was from Michelle Brydenthal of Bryde 'n'All Weddings & Events and she was reaching out for a photographer to donate their talent and time. I called Michelle, got the details, and 2 hours later was shooting the bride. The ceremony was at the beautiful Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA. The rain had stopped and made for a perfect wedding day. I was glad to help out someone in need and be a part of such a great event. CONGRATS Christine & Edwin! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Merry Christmas Dad

2010-12-26T10:24:00.000-08:00

It was a fun Christmas this year, especially with the reaction of my dad when he realized he got a drum set! It was covered up in sheets with a snowman's head and scarf. He had no idea. He thought it was a exercise bike - that he would NEVER use. He was very surprised and couldn't believe it. MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD!

The kids are adorable and Avie had the greatest time making faces to make her younger brother laugh. It's so nice to have some help when shooting kids. Way to be a BIG SIS Avie! Can't wait to shoot the family next month. Happy Holidays!

Wish Upon a Wedding is a GREAT organization! Help support their cause!

1% is ALL it Takes to Help Make Wishes Come True!

by CWO on May 25, 2010

New Program Allows Wedding Vendors to Easily Support Wish Upon a Wedding

Wish Upon a Wedding, the world’s first nonprofit wedding wish granting organization, is asking for the support of wedding vendors and industry professionals. This new organization, dubbed “the Wedding Industry’s Charity”, provides weddings for individuals facing life-threatening illness, at destinations across the United States, regardless of sexual orientation.

By donating just 1% of any sale (or 1% of your profits from one event), you can help Wish Upon a Wedding grant these very special wishes. Participants will be recognized for their generosity with an I support the Wishing Well badge.

Launched in January of this year, the organization now receives new wedding wish requests on a weekly basis. Currently lacking the funds needed to bring long distance families together, these special celebrations may often be missing something (or someone). One of the organization’s goals is to fly up to four family members or loved ones to the weddings of every Wish Recipient, so they can spend a few days with those who matter most. There are many other expenses that Wish Upon a Wedding would like to cover as well, but they need YOUR help.

Founder Liz Guthrie explains, “Many people facing life threatening illness do not have the money or resources to plan a wedding. At last, the wedding industry has joined forces- and together we are making some incredibly special wedding wishes come true, by providing the celebration of one of life’s biggest milestones.” Guthrie adds, “No matter what the setting, Wish Upon a Wedding wants to provide everything necessary for these individuals, including making sure they are surrounded by their most special family and friends.”
It’s really easy! To participate, visit this link.

As a supporter of the Wishing Well, participants will receive a custom-designed badge for their blog or website, that lets their clients and peers know that they support “the Wedding Industry’s Charity”. For information on other ways to help Wish Upon a Wedding, please visit our website at www.wishuponawedding.org/how-to-help

Please feel free to cut and paste this information to use in your Blogs, and help us Spread the Wedding Wish Love!

Tyler's Senior Session | Orange County Portrait Photographer

2010-05-10T12:30:00.000-07:00

When I was asked to do Tyler Ortega's senior high school portraits, I was very excited. Especially when I found out he was a soccer player. I am a HUGE soccer fan! So, the brainstorming began and the shoot brought about some cool ideas. After various soccer poses, Tyler had a black & red suite to wear and red is my favorite color! I just love the contrast against some of the bright backgrounds! With the help of my friend Adam Nelson of Adam Nelson Photography, we put some great poses together and made for a fun afternoon session. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do and congratulations to Tyler's graduation next month in June!

Jeanette is an old friend and when she asked me to take some shots of her and her boy.....I didn't hesitate. We had a wonderful afternoon shooting and made me realize the old times with my mother and how much fun we had together. In life, family is everything!
