I especially enjoyed getting to know Michael and Kristin Rogers this summer when we did these portraits of their family at the Montage Beach. The Rogers are such generous donors to the CHOC Foundation, so it was wonderful for me to create portraits that had such a sense of joy. There were so many great moments that day and I was really excited to be able to catch many of them. You can tell by all of these images that I love working with extended families like them.

For a limited time, our new Masterpiece portraits will be featured at the Shops at Mission Viejo in Orange County. It's always a tremendous pleasure for me to have a public exhibition like this one. This is the first exhibit that is entirely comprised of our new paintings, so I'm especially excited.

It's a lot of fun for our clients to see their portraits on display where they can show them off to their friends. I'm especially grateful to Arcelia LaRue and her family, as well as Tidi Lambert (and her daughters), Marie Startz, Darla McCutheon, The Muir family and The Inuoye sisters, whose portraits are featured in the exhibit.
