Megan and David Engagement Session

Go TROJANS!  Megan and David are huge Trojan fans! They even go to away games in Northern California. The famous USC Campus provided to be an amazing backdrop for their engagement photos.  Plus they are an attractive couple, won’t tell you what vendor said that!  The architecture of the buildings have so much character and it was just perfect for their one on one game.  I love the shot where David’s hand is just inches above Megan’s in catching the ball, great shot Joel!  But seriously, love love the 3rd picture, where the green trees leaves turned golden yellow as the natural sun light shined right on them and Megan’s pretty hair.

Jaime, not you ordinary plain Jane..I would say from what I read, super fashionable and creative spirit for sure. She started a wedding blog, filled with inspirations, ideas and resources…in some recent posts, she offers info on a designer that makes handmade shoes Japanese kimono fabric, recipe for cotton candy cosmos (Yuummm) and where to rent vintage parasol/ umbrellas.  She liked some of our past work so we were lucky to be featured.

Holiday Food Drive and Irvine Company

Did You Know?  More than 35.5 million Americans - 12% of the population and 17% of our children – don’t have enough food. In Orange County, one of the world’s most affluent places, over 456,000 people are at-risk of going hungry sometime every month. In a time of unprecedented unemployment rates, the need is greater than ever. With Orange County’s average rents among the highest in the nation, many working families need to choose between buying enough groceries for the month and keeping a roof over their heads.

We invite you to join us as we support Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County in their annual holiday food drive.  Between November 17th – November 28th, a collection bin will be placed in the main lobby of our building 18 Technology Drive in Irvine.  The food collected will be used to help alleviate hunger in our local communities.

Suggested Food Items Needed:  Canned tuna, canned meat, canned fruit, soup, rice, canned vegetables, juice products, dried cereal, macaroni and cheese.

Personal Care Items Needed: Diapers, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Toilet Paper, Soap, Deodorant, Band Aids, Feminine Hygiene products.

Want to shed a few pounds before the big day?

    

Nutrition Tip of the Week: November 10, 2008

Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals to lose weight just doesn’t work! Two things happen when we skip meals:

1) Skipping meals causes our metabolism to slow down. During hunter/gatherer days, our bodies were trained to store for periods of starvation. When we skip meals repeatedly, our bodies re-learn this behavior. Skipping meals can actually make the body more efficient and cause metabolism to slow down and hang onto excess calories!

2) Skipping meals causes us to eat more at the next meal. Skip lunch and by the time dinner comes, you will be so famished that you will tend to consume more calories.

To achieve a healthy body weight, aim for at least 3 balanced meals per day, spaced about 4-5 hours apart.
