Marcus' 1st Birthday

Marcus is so blessed to have the most thoughtful parents ever. His mom Sienny spent months of time putting ideas together and actualizing them, all on her own... Paul Frank theme with every single detail personalized. I just wish I were Marcus!

Here's a fusion slideshow I put together that depicts well what the day looks like. A good keepsake for their families who are out of the country and could not attend the event.

Official Opening of Humane Society Silicon Valley

The brand new site of Humane Society Silicon Valley is hosting its grand opening event this weekend. As their event photographer, I had the opportunity to document the opening ceremony with delight and with lots of sweat (the valley was at 91 degrees).

Fur Ball 2009

Fur Ball is an annual black-tie benefit for the Humane Society Silicon Valley. Just the fact that you can enjoy an elegant evening out, support a good cause, and have your furry friend tag along is a real treat.

The grand entrance.

My favorite silent aunction item!

Talent and passion.
I always believe animals enhance the quality of our lives. And we can beautify ours simply by offering them the love and care they desire for. Isn't it great for them to have a life this simple.
