Last Friday was an absolute honor to photograph one of the most amazing families I know.
I met Allen aka "Chino" in July 1996 during the first week of summer band. Yes, we we're both 'band nerds'. He played percussion and I played clarinet and we hit it off pretty well. Chino had a great sense of humor and I laugh at just about anything so our friendship grew without a problem. We would get into trouble for laughing too loud or playing the drum cadences on the keyboard. Either way freshman flew by!
Throughout the 4 years of high school we remained friends. After graduation Chino enlisted into The Marines. Things went well for him for a while but life can sometimes bring heartache. Over time, he was introduced to a lovely young woman by the name of Amanda. Amanda was a confident, flirty and fashionable woman and Chino had it for her bad! Finally the big day came and those two crazy love birds made it official. Amanda made Chino an honest man! Now with two gorgeous girls wrapped around his finger, I can say that I am a very lucky woman, photographer but most of all a friend of these fabulous people! Cheers to The Nguyen Family, you folks are truly amazing!
