I had the privilege to photograph the 48th annual Jewel Ball organized by American Cancer Society in the beautiful Intercontinental Montelucia Spa & Resort. This event raises funding to benefit American Cancer Society in cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services through a silent and live auction for fine jewelry.
The decoration and lighting is provided by Shadow Mountain Productions. They did a magnificent job in the ball room decoration as well as the exhibition area. The Montelucia resort is so beautiful and unique in their design and decor.

I can’t believe that Jaxon is already one year old. Remember I photographed him last year when he was only couple weeks old. He was under-weight when he was born. But now he is a healthy big boy running around and trying different things around the house. It is such a joy to see him again!

Cute!

I had the opportunity to shoot with a group of AZ photographers in Coon’s Bluff. It’s a nice little park with beautiful desert trees in Tonto National Forest. Weather is so nice right now in Phoenix and we don’t want to miss the chance of shooting outdoor before the AZ summer comes! Check out the pictures!

I had the priviledge to participate in the ISES (International Special Events Society) monthly meeting here in Arizona. It was held in Kool Party Rentals/Shadow Mountain Productions. The venue design is amazing. From drapery to furniture to lighting and catering, everything is so well designed and organized to demonstrate the talents of the event professionals.
ISES AZ holds monthly meeting to ISES members for training and networking purpose. David Merrell from An Original Occasion in Los Angeles is the special speaker of this month. David is a master in event design and he is also a great business man. You can check out his blog for his design ideas. David is looking for guest bloggers for event planning topics, let him know if you’re interested!
The topic of the night is about balancing between creative design and gaining profit. I learn a lot from it for my photography business because that is the challenge I have to face all the time.
Thanks to Melissa, Connie from ISES AZ hosting this great event!
