Arnaldo, Vivi, Ruben are all part of our beloved home church Emmanuel. They are also part of our church planting team set to go to Compton in January 2010. We met down at Laguna Beach for our session. They were all set with their adorable puppy Toto. This was a new beach for me in Laguna and it was beautiful. We really had the beach to ourselves since the family had taken off of work for their portrait session. It was ideal. I tell you what wasn’t ideal! I had left all of my memory cards at home! And I didn’t even realize it until I was down on the beach! Wow! I always triple check for cards, but this morning had been different. My goodness–this was the first time in my three years of shooting that I completely forgot my cards. I was so embarrassed it was not a bit professional! However, I can’t tell you how extremely gracious Arnaldo, Vivi and Ruben were to me. They were so forgiving. I had to rush up to CVS pharmacy and buy some new cards! They stayed on the beach and patiently waited. They were so kind and loving to me in my mistake. I SO appreciated your hearts and generosity to me on that morning.
Not only are Arnaldo, Vivi, and Ruben loving and gracious to me, they also have huge hearts for mission and loving the lost, hurt, and broken. They are an amazing gift to our Compton Core Team. A great blessing to us! I find it a great privilege to do ministry with you! I hope that you enjoy these pictures! I also hope we have some good pictures for you to bring home to mom in Colombia this Christmas!

I tried a new old-photo filter on this picture. I like it!
