Santee city council meeting
We kicked things off with a legislative invocation by Zach Wilbur from Palm Church, followed by some fantastic community presentations. A huge congratulations to the Total Altruism Project (T.A.P.) on their update and the California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS) State Award Presentation! 🏆 It is always wonderful to see our local parks and community projects recognized at the state level. Staying informed on what’s happening in our city! Tonight’s agenda includes a very important presentation by the County of San Diego regarding the San Diego River Basin Sewer Pipe Lining Project right at the San Diego River Trail Walker Preserve Site.

🇺🇸 Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future 🇺🇸
This morning, I had the deep honor of photographing a truly moving Memorial Day Flag Retirement Ceremony at the Santee Veterans Memorial Monument at Santee Lakes, shooting for the East County Community Times.
It was an incredible turnout on this beautiful morning as our community gathered to show our respect. A massive thank you to today's official event sponsor, Lightning Electrical Services, for making this beautiful gathering possible (and for keeping everyone energized with a wonderful spread of coffee and donuts!).
A very special thank you as well to Santee community Foundation, VFW Post 9327 of Santee for hosting such a reverent ceremony, and to the young ladies of Santee Girl Scout Troop 5183, who did an outstanding job assisting with the dignified retirement of the flags.
It is mornings like this that remind me why our Santee community is so special. Stay tuned to the East County Community Times for the full photo coverage!

What an incredible day yesterday at the Santee Street Fair! ☀️ I was out capturing all the action for the East County Community Times, and I just have to say—the setup this year was absolutely fantastic.The community turnout was huge, with over 30,000 neighbors coming out to enjoy the 300+ vendor booths, the craft beer festival, and the amazing live music. Speaking of music, that stage setup was an excellent idea—it kept the energy high all day long! 🎶👏I had a wonderful time meeting so many of you and capturing the vibrant, candid spirit of our community.👇 I will post a link to my full SmugMug gallery in the first comment below! 👇You are more than welcome to browse through.

🥐 WELCOME TO SANTEE, 85°C BAKERY CAFE! 🧋
East County has a delicious new addition! While I missed yesterday’s official morning ribbon-cutting, I made sure to head down to capture the excitement, energy, and—of course—the amazing grand opening giveaways! 📸✨
If you haven’t heard the buzz yet, 85°C Bakery Cafe is a world-famous global phenomenon known for its incredible "self-serve" selection of fresh Asian- and European-inspired pastries, stunning cakes, and handcrafted boba and coffee. Fun fact: The name comes from their belief that 85°C (185°F) is the perfect, optimal temperature to brew coffee! ☕️
The energy at the grand opening was fantastic, with lines of excited locals waiting to get their hands on their iconic Iced Sea Salt Coffee, Brioche, and Marble Taro buns. East County has been waiting for a spot like this, and judging by the crowd, Santee is ready to keep them very busy!
Check out my photos below from yesterday's celebration to see a glimpse of the action and some of the lucky giveaway winners! 👇

📍 Where to find them: 70 Town Center Pkwy, Santee, CA 92071

📸 17 Million Thanks! 📸
I woke up recently to a number I still can't quite wrap my head around—my photos on Google have now reached just under 17 million views!
To be completely honest, I am incredibly humbled. When I am out with my camera, whether I'm documenting our community's history from decades ago or capturing life as it happens today, I do it simply because I love it. I never imagined that so many people would care to look at the moments I’ve captured in the past, the present, or what’s to come in the future.
Whether you’ve looked at an old archival memory or a current event photo, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Knowing that these images bring value, memories, or just a bit of joy to your day means the world to me.
Thank you for looking, sharing, and being a part of this journey with me!

📸 Spent a wonderful Saturday morning capturing the magic at the Santee Historical Society Barn for the annual Bees and Butterflies event! 🐝🦋
It was so incredible to see our community come together at the historic Edgemoor Barn to learn about our local pollinators, explore the gorgeous native gardens, and dive into a bit of Santee’s rich history. From the kids' crafts to the beautiful milkweed gardens, there was so much joy to document.
A huge thank you to the Santee Historical Society and the San Diego River Park Foundation for putting on such a meaningful, educational, and fun event for local families!

3rd Annual Unity Fair
I had a fantastic time yesterday afternoon at the 3rd Annual Unity Fair held at Chet F. Harritt School! Between 4:00 and 6:00 PM, the campus was buzzing with energy, and it was heartening to see such a massive turnout from our Santee community.
🌎 Celebrating Our Diversity
I was there documenting the event for the East County Community Times. This fair is a beautiful celebration of the many cultures that shape our city. This year, the Santee School District’s Expanded Learning Programs did an incredible job showcasing heritage from across the globe, with student booths highlighting traditions from India and the Philippines to Greece, Japan, Peru, and beyond!
🎨 Arts, Music, & Flavor
The fair was a true feast for the senses. From the student performances that stole the show to the delicious global flavors and colorful art displays, it was a powerful reminder of how much we grow when we share our traditions. It’s wonderful to see this event continue to grow in its third year, fostering a spirit of inclusion and community pride.
