hometown - glendale 818

my hometown of glendale (ca), the 818. known for......the glendale galleria?!??!! i don't know.



family: de oca-snyder holiday family portraits

matt snyder + oralia "odie" de oca + 4 boys = one crazy, fun, exciting, happy, never bored / tired family! once again, i'm glad to be shooting a beautiful couple that i've known for years. of course it's been a while since i last saw them - high school. matt graduated from st. francis high school (class of '94, one year ahead of me), and odie graduated from flintridge sacred heart academy (class of '94). after our session, we really had a chance to catch up with each other. funny how things work out - they shared with me their "story." if matt didn't give odie dirty looks (which is still being debated to this day), it probably wouldn't have worked out. matt stepped up and took care of business and the rest is history. now they have 4 good looking boys (2 of which are twins), so you can imagine how much activity takes place at their house!

matt, odie, nick, hudson, zachary, and griffin - thank you again for allowing to share a few hours of the day with you and capture some wonderful memories......merry christmas to all of you, and wishing you all the best in 2012! get that girl odie!!! wink wink......
