A Playgroup Baby Shower

Awwww… I am so touched.  The moms in my son’s playgroup threw me a baby shower!
Since I move as smooth as a Weeble Wobble (do those toys even exist anymore?), I brought my camera, but only goofed around for a few minutes…

Urban Engagement Party

I shot another evening event last night, but this time, they were of adults only!  I know, shocking! 
Judy and Craig got engaged, and some of Craig’s friends threw them a party at the chic Paragon Restaurant in San Francisco.

It was a Father-Daughter Prom for Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore.  The event was held at Super Franks in Pleasanton — a kid-centric entertainment center.  I was blown away by how fancy it looked because it was all decked out.  Everything [...]
