Aidan's 5th Birthday - 6.3.09

My nephew Aidan turned 5 today.. My sister and I helped him celebrate with his classmates at school. The kids had a blast and I loved capturing how sugar took over them.. heehee It's so amazing seeing him growing up and celebrating his birthday every year.. Smooches =0)

cupcakes by auntie mar.. drinks, birthday sign and party favors provided by mommy.. and the birthday hat aidan's classmates made for him.

i remember aidan asking me in march when it was my birthday.. "auntie, why is my birthday taking so long?".. i told him, "sweetie, take your time, when you reach my age you don't want to rush your birthdays."

singing happy birthday, having some drinks and dancing.. good times!

this kid was on a roll and just made me crack up.. haha

sugar does make kids hyper eh? oh well, they were going home to their parents.. heehee

aidan loves his sweets.. but i think the boy next to him had too much sugar.. he has a headache =0)

this one slept throughout the whole bday party.. Zzzz

i couldn't believe that the gift bag was almost as tall as aidan.. oh my!

aidan attempted to open his bday present from one of his classmates.. but i guess it was a team effort..

aww aidan loves his auntie mar..

aidan loves mommy too!

and he thinks his teacher is pretty awesome too!

aidan's preschool class =0) I absolutely love each kid's expression.. shows their individuality and character.. so cool!

Jaime & Napoleon Engagement @ Costa Mesa/Newport Beach, CA - 5.31.09

Locations:
(1) The Camp - Costa Mesa, CA
(2) The Lab - Costa Mesa, CA
(3) Newport Back Bay - Newport Beach, CA

For the Photographer:
All shot with a Nikon D700, 17-55mm f2.8 Nikon lense, no flash, no reflector

Napoleon is Christina's cousin. Jaime & Napoleon wanted a nature feel to their engagement session. I suggested The Camp and Newport Back Bay which gave us an urban nature look. They had never been there before and absolutely loved the atmosphere. We started at The Camp, walked across to The Lab and ended at Newport Back Bay. Come back and see them all dolled up for their wedding on August 8, 2009!

Jaime's smile reflects how her personality is. Napoleon is so silly and totally gets the best smiles and laughter out of Jaime.

"Making a better world for you and me" awww =0)

quality time...

Napoleon and I were both wearing Converse shoes and I came to thinking after the shoot.. if only Jaime had Converse on too.. I could've taken all our shoes together. I wonder to if his shoes are brand new, because the soles are so clean.. heehee

i lovey dovey the parking spaces at this place.. they all have different words or little phrases.. so cool!

relax time on the hammock.. they were totally enjoying it, i thought i was going to have pry them off =)

this was actually the fav for the day for me.. how one word "HOPE" can mean so much.

here's the funniest moment of the entire session.. i asked napoleon how he proposed to jaime.. after telling me jaime in turn told me her response to his proposal.. she was so surprised she answered him in two words, "oh, shit" .. i cracked up and responded, "i'm guessing that meant yes" haha

this was a dangerous shot.. almost got ran over by a car and two bicycles!

So, how do you two rate MAOLO Photography? Napoleon you first.. 2 thumbs up! Jaime your turn.. 2 thumbs up! =0)

Jaime wanted to do this last pose for her mom.. she says it has always made her mom laugh.. well i think her mom will drop to the floor with laughter seeing Napoleon making the same face too.. haha
