DaVita Village Service Days - Inglewood Rogers Park Community Center

Still playing catch up from some past photo shoots!  I am absolutely determined to get caught up and get everything blogged within the next week or so. :) :)

Today's post is from an awesome event I was commissioned to shoot for DaVita. Along with being a great company, they also try to involve their employees (teammates as they call them) in various community service events that volunteers within the company help to set up and coordinate.

This most recent event for their Southern California corporate office was to refurbish the Inglewood Rogers Park Community Center.  Such a fun and active project and I am so honored to have been a part of it through my camera. :)  In addition, they also surprised some local children with backpacks filled with school supplies.

My favorite part of the day was talking to one of the young girls who has been coming to this community center since she was a small child, and she just was so amazed at all the work being done, how nice everything looked, and how all these people could take the time out of their busy days to come and do this for them.  Things like that moment with this girl is what makes my heart fill with joy.  :) <3

Here's a bit of what I captured of this great service that the DaVita teammates did.

Oh - but first is a newspaper article in the Inglewood Today newspaper on the event, featuring my photos! :)  (pg 6 - Sep 8, 2011):

Birthday fun!

I went to a super fun birthday/slumber party this past weekend for a friend of mine...yes, I said "Slumber Party"!  You know you're jealous. :) :)

I snapped the below pics just for fun, but decided that I liked them enough to post here.  Unfortunately for everyone not in attendance, I didn't take pictures of the most entertaining parts of the night - let's just say there was some more alcohol, party games, stick-on mustaches, deep dark secrets, and a swimming pool.  What a great party. :) :)
