It is a great honor to be recognized for my hard work and dedication as a small business owner. Let's explore how this award came about and why it is meaningful to me. Small business owners often face challenges and obstacles in their journey to success and growth. Still, the reward for their arduous work and determination is the recognition and validation that their efforts are paying off. This recognition is precisely what happened to me when the Torrance Chamber of Commerce announced me as the Small Business Entrepreneur Award winner.

This portrait was taken right in the comfort of their home. Looking at their laughs and smiles just brings you in and is captivating.

Family Pictures In The Comfort Of Your HomeMany families search for professional photographers each year to take their family picture at a local park or studio. However, have you ever considered having your family's portrait taken in the comfort of your own home? With the traffic in Los Angeles county or Prince William county in Virginia, having your family's picture taken at home can be a tremendous time saver. Not to mention, avoid the stress from driving across town. In addition to saving time and avoiding stress, you'll have access to everything in your closet.
