			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a photographer, I always want to give the best to my clients.  And I can honestly say, that I believe Linco is the best framing company in Southern California.  I&#8217;ve used several other companies in the past, and none of them have  met my high expectations.  Only one company has stood out from the rest&#8230;and that is Linco Inc. in San Dimas.</p>
<p>I have been going to Linco for the past few years, and haven&#8217;t looked back since.  I believe that when a company does well they deserve some praise and recognition for it.  Steve Lindemann is not only a great business person and vendor, but he&#8217;s kind, considerate, and appreciates what he does.  Every time I walk in, I&#8217;m greeted with a smile.  He&#8217;s always great at helping me  pick out the best frames and mats for my clients.  And he always delivers on time. (Which is why I no longer go to anyone else.)</p>
<p>I highly recommend Steve and Linco for all of your framing needs.  Not only do they have hundreds of frames in stock, but just about every type of color matting imaginable.  He custom cuts every mat and frame to your exact specifications.  You can choose from regular, to UV-coated glass.  There is so much he can do, you just have to go down there to see it for yourself.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t bother getting a cheap frame that will fall apart from anywhere else.  If you want quality, and durability&#8230;his work is spectacular and worth every penny.  His frames are the best in showcasing your precious images in your home.  He is now my one and only framer.  I only expect the best for my clients and myself, and he is definitely it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a mother of three children I can tell you&#8230;I love my kids.  Some of the most amazing days in my life are the days they were born.  Giving birth is such a wonderful,  and miraculous thing.  It&#8217;s a blessing.  So to be asked to be the photographer of a birth&#8230;I felt honored.  To be there for such an important part of a couples life, and to share in their joy is a gift.</p>
<p>Jae and Christy are becoming good friends of mine.  Not only have I photographed their engagement, wedding and maternity shoot&#8230;I was now going to be photographing the first few precious moments of their daughter Caitlyn&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>I got the call early in the day that Christy had went into labor.  Around 7:30 p.m., Christy called me to tell me that she was going to start pushing in an hour or so.  I rushed over to the hospital.  She was in good spirits and seemed to be a big trooper in handling the pain.  I mean really&#8230;I was never so calm with any of my births!</p>
<p>Within 1.5-2 hours&#8230;.Caitlyn was born.  A rush of emotions was felt by everyone in the room.  I looked over at Jae and he was just beaming with pride.  I photographed Caitlyn&#8217;s first few moments of life.  I captured the emotions of the parents.  It was simply amazing.</p>
<p>So without further delay&#8230;here are just a few of the many images.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://manaloempire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_7388.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-514" title="DSC_7388" src="http://manaloempire.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSC_7388-1024x681.jpg" alt="This isn't just a photo of an IV.  It is a photo of one of the hands of the mother who will use them to help care for, nurture, and comfort her newborn child." width="630" height="419" /></a></p>

Here is your beautiful newborn daughter Chris and Jae.</p></div>

I think daddy is going to have a hard time telling her &quot;no&quot; when she gets older." width="630" height="419" /></a>When baby Caitlyn was delivered&#8230;not only did the parents cry&#8230;but I did too.  What a blessing it is to give birth.  And what an honor and privelage it is for me to be asked to be the one to capture those moments.  Congratulations again Jae and Chris&#8230;you have a beautiful little girl.</p>
