socal events photographer – Paper Ban Photography

The Heart Series 2017

Culver City, California

Just after Valentine’s Day, I had the pleasure of once again being one of the many amazing sponsors of The Heart Series – a conference on business x bettering the world (view last year’s blog feature). Once again, it was an amazing conference to be a part of, and I had such a great time documenting all the keynote speakers from companies such as UpWorthy, EveryTable, Dizzy Feet Foundation, Yoobi, and Global Citizen, as well as the attendees and their fervor to listen, learn, and give back to the community. Thanks for having me as your Los Angeles business conference photographer!

Connor’s ‘Giving Tree’ Themed First Birthday

LA CAÑADA, CALIFORNIA

I recently had the honor of photographing little Connor’s first birthday in the La Cañada Country Club and its theme was ‘The Giving Tree’, based on Shel Silverstein’s kids book. I personally love the book and seeing it as a theme for a birthday party made it that much more fun to photograph! All the little details that they put together is just astounding!

Having photographed Connor’s big brother Colin’s first birthday a few years back, it was such a treat to meet up with this family once again over another joyous occasion. Connor looks so much like his brother, especially as they’re both wearing light denim button-up shirts and khaki pants for both occasions, hehe.

DeNeitra’s Baby Shower at Pinocchio’s Pizza

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

I first met DeNeitra nearly a couple of years ago when I photographed Andrea’s 50 & Free birthday party. She was the events planner for Andrea’s party, and reached out to me to be the photographer. To then be asked to photograph her own special event – this time, for her first baby shower – was an absolute honor. The baby shower was held in a banquet room of Pinnochio’s Pizza in Pasadena and of course, the decor was just adorable with its blue bow tie theme.

While surrounded by close friends and family, the party was all fun and games, until that is, the opening of the gifts portion. Then, it got emotional. Don’t worry, it was the happy kind of emotional!
