Irvine Photographer – Irvine Public Schools Foundation Spirit of Excellence Annual Gala

Usually we are busy thinking about work and the million things we need to do on a daily basis running your own business! Yet life cannot always be about the things you have to do, sometimes life needs to be about things you should do!  Such as what should we do to help make our community a better place?  For me one of the first things I think of to better our community is to provide the very best education for our children as we possibly can, so when the Irvine Public Schools Foundation came to us a asked us to photograph their Spirit of Excellence 2^nd annual gala that was raising money for the Irvine school system, we jumped at the chance to give what we knew best to such a worthy cause! The Irvine Public Schools Foundation helps provides financial support and enrichment programs for the students of the Irvine Unified School District, check out all the amazing work they do!

The IPSF Spirit of Excellence 2^nd annual gala honored superb achievements in the arts, science, music, and athletics by graduates of the Irvine school district. It was such an honor to be among such talent and to know that all this amazing talent came out of Irvine schools, especially since Ron was a graduate of the Irvine school system himself.
