Special Olympics of Southern California - Event Photography

Through some of my photography friends, I got involved in shooting event photography for Special Olympics of Southern California. One of my goals was to use my photography for a great organization and I found one in SOSC. The first of two recent events I shot at was a last minute shoot. I had a maternity session scheduled, and was asked to photography a meet and greet for the All That Skate show at the Staples Center. When I heard that Michelle Kwan was going to be the special guest at the event, I was beyond excited! I used to watch a lot of figure skating as a kid, and Michelle is definitely one of my favorite figure skaters. My friend Jon got a shot of me with Michelle, but I refuse to post it. Let's just say, it was a good reminder for me to 1) go to the gym and 2) get a haircut. :o)

Verdugo Bar - Mobile Mash-Up!

On a lazy weekend afternoon, one of my friends suggested we hit up Verdugo bar in Los Angeles, for their Mobile Mash-up event. I wasn't sure what to expect, but found out that it was pretty cool. The atmosphere was laid back and very chill. There were a few food trucks serving up food next to the back patio area where you can also play various board games. With the digital/technological revolution, it was nice to experience some good old classic boardgames and random chatter with a few good friends. Check out this monthly even at Verdugo Bar's Website.
