And the winner is.....
We have enjoyed reading all the nominations and it has been a very difficult decision. I'm thinking of making this an ongoing contest, because I love hearing about deserving people that need to be recognized.
Without further ado, the winner is (drum roll please)..... Delilah Guadian. Here is the nomination letter written by Nicky Richards. Check back soon to see her pictures!
Dear Patrick,
What a great idea and a wonderful way to bless someone who deserves it! As I hung up the phone earlier after a conversation with my friend Delilah, I knew immediately, that she was deserving of your gift! Although my nomination is for her, I would love to honor her whole family! I met Delilah and Manny Guadian two years ago when our daughters started performing with Ridgeview Vanguard. Delilah is such a wonderful person that I don’t even know where to begin!
Delilah is married to Manny and they are the proud parents of three children. Tabitha is 16, Danielle is 10, and Jeremy is 7. Tabitha is sweet girl who plays the clarinet and did an awesome job on Winter Drumline this year. Danielle is the faithful sister who obviously looks up to her sister and looks out for her little brother. Jeremy is a very special little boy with autism and is a joy to be around! Can you tell that I love this family? Delilah is completely dedicated to her family and her life revolves around them.
Delilah is a stay at home mom, but works more than anyone I know! She served as the vice-president for the Ridgeview Music boosters this past year and went above and beyond her duties by helping out the rest of us with our obligations. She knows all of the band students by name and has been know to pull them aside to check on them, encourage them, and let them know how much she cares. Delilah and Manny were also in charge of Chuck Wagon—feeding all those hungry band kids was an important job!
Delilah is also dedicated to serving her church. I know that she has served on many of the children’s ministries, youth groups, and helps prepare meals for activities and fundraisers. Her love of the lord has helped her through the last several months while she was taking care of her father who had been diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital for several months. She visited her dad daily and helped her mom through this very emotional situation. Sadly, Delilah’s dad passed away last Friday, on Delilah’s birthday. In typical Delilah fashion, she didn’t ever complain and rejoiced that her father was in heaven and was honored that he gave her that peace on her birthday.
I could ramble on and on about what an amazing person Delilah is! She is always able to look at the positive side of everything and never complains or has anything negative to say. She is such a humble person that she always says that it isn’t about her, but all of us working together. I would love to be able to give a little something back to her for all that she gives to everyone who knows her. She is truly an inspiration and someone who I look up to. I am honored to have Delilah Guadian as a friend!
Sincerely,
Nicky Richards

The Lopez Family
The Lopez family haven't taken any family pictures in the past nine years; although it's hard to tell because they come together so perfectly. Elvia has been volunteering in my wife's classroom for an entire year, compassionately giving her time to help her students grow. Everyone in the family is kind, fun-loving and most of all dedicated to being just that--a family.

Sophia Updates
Well, I have been taking a lot of pictures of Sophia daily and started thinking that I should start a new blog just for her. But I really don't want to have more than one since I stopped posting to my personal blog. Instead, I added a link on the right side of this blog to a gallery I made just for Sophia. I will try to update it as much as I can.
For now, here is a picture of Mommy go over the bills with Sophia.

Special Recognition Giveaway
I love my wife. I love her for taking my food away from me just before I begin to overeat. I love her for the little strawberry slices she puts on my waffles every morning. I love her for reminding me daily that I am a better photographer than I was yesterday and I love her even more for all she endured to bring our little girl into this world. I just love her. Sometimes I think of all the million and one things that I am grateful for but somehow remain unsaid and for that I want the world to know just how awesome she is.
Thinking about this made me realize that there have to be others out there that think and feel the same way I do. I know there may be someone in your life that deserves to be honored or praised; someone that you wish you could say, “I see you” in a meaningful way too. For this reason, I decided to create an opportunity for others to share their “special someone” with the rest of the world. From now until May 29th, I will be taking nominations from everyone and anyone. Just send me the name of the person, and a short description explaining this wonderful person. One deserving winner will be given a free portrait session and an 8x10 print ($200 value) and their biography and photoshoot will be posted on my blog for all to admire.
Here are the contest details: Please send an email to patrickang@patrickangphotography.com
1) List your special person’s name and why they deserve this nomination
2) Include your contact information (email address)
3) Share this post with your family and friends so they may nominate someone they
know.
4) Nominations must be received by 11:59 PST on Friday, May 29th
5) The winner will be announced on Sunday, May 31st.

Mother's Day
Well we kinda celebrated Mother's Day early because I was very anxious to give my presents to Christine, her mom, my mom and my grandma. I gave Christine a story book of her delivery and she loved it. I gave my mom, my grandma and Christine's mom framed pictures of Sophia. Having this baby has really made present shopping much easier. Pictures of Sophia are always a hit.
I also started teaching my sister how to use a camera. Who knows, we might start a family business.
