Earlier this year, I took John and Niki’s family photos. We had a lot of fun. So this month when they were having a party for Ella’s 2nd birthday, they invited me as a guest. Friends and family gathered for a nice meal and fun. Niki’s dad baked cupcakes and her friend, Daphne, made lovely pink icing. John rolled up his sleeves, throw steaks on the grill and showed off his famous Gambas al Ajillo dish. At one point, Ella and her little friends literally used cupcakes as sponges and painted their faces with icing. I was glad I captured those moments for them.

I also did a family portrait session for them while Niki’s parents were in town. Will post them soon. Thanks for tuning in.
