Natalie Cole with Corona Symphony Pops at Fox Performing Arts Center, Riverside, CA

02-16-10 Posted in Inland Empire Commercial Photographer

I am fortunate to be able to photograph some amazing artists being the official photographer for theCorona Symphony Orchestra. The Corona Symphony Pops backed Natalie Cole on February 13th at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, California and it was AWESOME! I got to go backstage and watch the rehearsal as well as capture different elements of the theater and the players.

There was a full house at the newly renovated Fox Performing Arts Centerand Natalie was an amazing performer. She had everyone in the audience oooing and ahhing and singing along. I loved the opening number and “Smile”. The Corona Symphony Pops is no longer the best kept secret in Corona because their performance was top notch and sounded brilliant!

The Fox Theater has some rich history and one event, which I love, is that it’s the first theater to showcase “Gone with the Wind”. The archetecture and decor is stunning and makes for incredible photographs. The accustics in the theater made the show sound beautiful!

Before the holidays I got to spend time with my niece and my sweet Juliet together. And it was so much fun hanging out with the two of them. And of course, a photo shoot was in order.

a bit of rainy weather {corona, california photography}

02-12-10 Posted in Inland Empire Commercial Photographer

I have been LOV-ING the weather. Lots of rain makes for really GREEN river, green areas in Corona. And the puddles and the rain and the warm clothes is a nice change and we NEED the rain SO bad here in Southern California.

Today was a back-to-back Valentine Party kind of day and as you might know I adore finding hearts in random places. So, Happy Valentine’s Day and happy heart hunting.

xo.

Big Bear Snowy Drive {Big Bear Photographer}

02-08-10 Posted in Smith Family Stuff

My sister Julia and her hubby moved to Big Bear a few weeks ago. And Big Bear got epic snow 2 weeks ago. And we decided to brave the roads and get up there.

We got through the police baracades and made our way up the mountain. And once we got our chains on (we don’t normally drive in snow like this!) we were moving through the most beautiful mountain scenes I have ever seen. And because we were moving like snails I got some pretty neat shots I want to share with you.

maisano’s sourdough bread and ruby slippers.

02-01-10 Posted in Smith Family Stuff

I only purchase two things when I found out I was having a girl. The first thing was a cute dress that I couldn’t resist. And the other was a pair of ruby slippers, size 7.5. I figured it would be when she was a little over 2 to enjoy the pair but be it that she is the daughter of a 6′5″ daddy, she’s 18 months and is wearing them for the first time!

I think she’s going to be tall!

So, today we went to visit her Uncle Roger and Noni (my dad) to take photos of their new sour, sour, sourdough breads. And while we were there she was into holding the beautiful breads so I thought let’s put her up on the mock up and take a couple.

And she loves the bread and she especially loves her new fancy ruby slippers.

Maybe the saying should be when eating this new sour, sourdough, “there’s no place like eating sourdough at home”?

food for thought. {corona baby photographer}

I love reflecting on images from the date it is today to what I was doing a year ago. Today, Juliet was self feeding and drinking out of a cup like a “big girl”. Last year, January 2009, she was being spoon fed. And got happier as the meal wore on. Well, she gets happier like that now too. But she’s definitely a lot neater.
