Fundraiser Event for PADRE

Last Saturday Matt and I had the pleasure of photographing a charity dinner and fundraiser fashion show at the Huntington Beach Hyatt Regency for the PADRE Foundation, a non-profit serving families of diabetic children and teens.  The organizers held a large silent auction, raffle, told personal stories, and produced dance performances by the kids as well as a runway fashion show with apparel donated by Macy’s.  It was a raging success with all fundraising goals met and exceeded!

I seriously don’t know how everyone else isn’t squinting against the bright lights like I am. I also don’t know how I managed to dress like Han Solo and not notice until after I took a picture of myself…but there you go.  A little Star Wars for your evening with Sweetest Perfection.

Thanks for a great event, everyone!
