Laguna Beach Photographer: Barefoot 3 Club Classic

SchoolPower’s Barefoot classic is the last fundraiser of the calendar year and definitely worth attending whether you are a golf expert or you just want to attend for the great food. Thanks to Mark Christy for always making it a memorable event.

The event started with the biggest group of golfers to date complete with fun outfits and strange props. The rules of the game, you can only use three clubs, no shoes and have fun! And if your a guy and want to make sure your toes look great, then by all means get a pedicure prior to the event!

Those that only made it to the dinner, were treated to great food and music in a gorgeous environment! This year the dinner was under the stars and the atmosphere was amazing.

Thanks to Mark Christy and many other generous donors, the silent auction was a success with the most popular item being a “Glaming trip” in the old Girl Scout camp at the back of the Ranch property.

Laguna Beach photographer: Lumberyard Chef Challenge

One of the best parts of being a Laguna Beach Photographer is being a part of the community.  And one of my favorite charities is Laguna Beach is SchoolPower education foundation.  SchoolPower is a volunteer-based organization whose mission it is to raise money to enrich the educational experience of students in Laguna Beach.  I have been volunteering my time with SchoolPower for more than 7 years.

Sara’s Irvine Bat Mitzvah

What an absolutely beautiful celebration for the last of the Palmer kids last week when Sara Palmer celebrated her Bat Mitzvah.  I rarely get to photograph the entire event, but I was so fortunate to be able to witness what an amazing job Sara did with her presentation.  The highlight for me was seeing Sara perform an amazing dance with several of her good friends at the reception.  Overall it was an amazing day, and I was so happy to be included in another family event! Enjoy the highlights video:

 

Mike’s 50th Birthday Party

I love getting to celebrate milestone events with my clients!  Over the years I have been a part of countless birthday parties, weddings, corporate events and family gatherings.  It was even more fun to see so many people at the party that I had photographed over the years!  I know that they had a fantastic night.  Happy Birthday Bone Crusher!  Enjoy!
