Last night was the 1st annual, Taste of Laguna Niguel. Sponsored by Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel and the Laguna Niguel Chamber of Commerce it was a great night of food, wine and entertainment. Restaurants featured at the Taste included The Ritz Carlton Hotel, Infusion Restaurant and Bar, Splashes, Mastro’s Ocean Club, Javiers, White Horse and many more. Headliner Peter White and his group provided a phenomenal evening of jazz and entertainment.

I provided photo coverage of the event and took group shots in the VIP tent. I hope you enjoy the shots of Peter White and his players.

This months meeting of the ABC Orange County (www.ABC-OC.NET) held its meeting at the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach, CA. (www.Fairmont.com/NewportBeach/) The featured vendors were photographers and bakeries… a sweet combination . Several excellant photographers were present and displayed their work. This was the first time Michelle (my daughter and second shooter) attended a trade show function. She was a bigger hit than I was!

Our display includes a couple black and white prints, a couple color prints and our albums. The item with the most appeal was the Zookbox (www.zookbinders.com). It is a 8×8 leather box containing a variety of mats in different print sizes that can be individually showcased with an included mini easel. It was well received by many coordinators as a perfect engagement gift or family portait display of many different poses. Check out Zookbinders site and see what you think. We sell it and customize it for you.
