Little Hailey having some fun

Time goes by quickly.  One moment they are little toddlers, and the next minute they are graduating from college.  It makes sense to capture their childhood in photographs when you can, and it doesn’t hurt to get some photos of your killer muscle car in there at the same time.  The whole family was in great spirits, and the kids were eager to get some great photographs taken as well.  I thought it would be great to get some photos of the family with their Mustang out by the USS Hornet.  The same ship that carried the historic Moon landing Apollo 11 spacecraft and astronauts back from their landing in the Pacific in 1969.  It’s a small trip back into time I suppose.  Here are some photos of Eddie, Sharon, Ben, and Hailey, and the classic ’67 ’65 Ford Mustang Fastback.  Enjoy.

Kyle in his "fighting face"

Heh, OK, so maybe they are not true Olympic Gold Medalists, yet, but they are on their way through training with a true 1992 Barcelona Olympic Gold Medalist, Master Herb Perez and his incredible staff of trainers at the Gold Medal Martial Arts Center.  For me, working with children and teens is a blast since they have no problem letting you know what is on their mind. They also have no problem telling you that they “don’t like to smile.” Now, that is not often the case, as many of these young athletes were happy to smile and then give me their “fighting face.” There were also those very cute toddlers who were just happy to be there and smile as their parents cheered for them from behind my camera. Here are a few photos from my sessions there.
