Assmaa Elayyat, the younger of two children born to Egyptian immigrants, was born in June of 1984.
Suma, as her friends call her, graduated from Moreno Valley High School in 2002. Suma chose to continue her education at the University of California Riverside. After graduating from UCR in 2006 with a B.S. in Business Administration, she continued on to Cal State San Bernardino. In December 2010 she graduated with a Masters in Public Administration.
During her collegiate years Suma was employed by the County of Riverside, Department of Social Services office in Perris CA. In 2009 Suma's outgoing personality, strong work ethic, and pursuit of a higher education earned her a promotion to Supervisor and move to downtown Riverside where she currently works.
During Suma's off time she can be found at the gym, shopping the latest sales at her favorite stores or just "blowin O's" with her friends at the hookah lounge.
In conjunction with her recent graduation, she retained the services of Hackworth Photography to create her graduation portrait. Here are a few of the images from her photo session at the studio of Hackworth Photography. Enjoy!

Flashback to October 2010.....My cousin's son is getting married in December and their photographer, due to a disagreement, won't be shooting their wedding. Well, to make a long story short, I agreed to shoot their wedding, a small affair to be held at the home of my Aunt Stacha and Uncle Dan in Henderson (Las Vegas) Nevada.
The day finally arrived and after a dozen or so emails and phone calls between the bride and myself, I am now shooting the wedding of Nick and Ashli. Nick, a motorcycle riding and skateboard enthusiast is marrying his beautiful girlfriend of 7 years.
First, we headed to the clubhouse for some private photos away from the family and friends who have gathered to witness this wonderful event. Once we got away from all the peering eyes and the chaos of wedding preparations a completely different side of these two came out. The love and passion they share is beyond words and that is what I sought to capture with these images I am going to share with you now. Enjoy!
