Halloween Photo Sessions at SOCO + The OC Mix
10.22.19
You’re in for a treat at SOCO + The OC Mix! On Saturday, October 26 from 9:30 a.m. – 12: p.m., kiddos in costume and their families are invited to The OC Mix for a fang-tastic Alison Bernier Photography photo session. Alison will be set up near the walkway between Milk & Honey Baby and Gear Co Op where your little goblins will take boo-tiful Halloween photos in front of the most adorable Halloween backdrop designed by Beijos Events. Not only do the children love it, but this is also a great way to document your little ones in this year’s costume and makes for a fun + festive family outing.
Additionally, families are also invited to stop by Milk & Honey baby to create some spook-tacular arts & crafts that make for the perfect Halloween decorations that you’ll be able to take home and cherish for years to come.
Sessions are free and digital versions of the photos will be available for purchase online one week after the event at alisonbernier.com. One digital image is $30, two are $50, and three images are $65. No RSVP is required, simply show up with a smile and say cheese!
SOCO + The OC Mix (near the walkway between Milk & Honey Baby and Gear Co Op) is at 3313 Hyland Avenue in Costa Mesa.

Anaheim Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast
10.21.19
People of all faiths are invited to an inspiring morning at the annual Anaheim Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast on Wed. Oct. 23 from 7-10 a.m. where business partners, local leaders, and Anaheim neighbors gather in the spirit of unity, contemplation, and collaboration.
This year’s keynote speaker is Andrew Puzder, former CEO of Carl Karcher Enterprises. During his tenure, he helped turn Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. into fast-food powerhouses. He continues to draw upon his working-class Catholic upbringing and seeks to live devoutly in all aspects of his life. Puzder is a frequent lecturer on economics and politics for various groups and associations as well as at colleges and universities. He is also director at The Job Creators Network and on the Advisory Board at Prager University.
Performing will be special musical guest, Influence Music, a faith-based record label and artist collective from Influence Church in Anaheim Hills. Influence Music’s debut album “Touching Heaven” became a breakout success reaching Billboard #2 on the Christian album charts, #7 on the emerging artist chart and was the #1 album on iTunes. Influence Music is composed of Matt Gilman, Melody Noel, Michael Ketterer, and Whitney Medina. Ketterer captured the heart of America as a finalist on “America’s Got Talent” with more than 60 million views on his audition for Simon Cowell. Their most recent project, “REBELS,” is an album and companion short film that breaks new ground both sonically and visually.
RSVP: Individual tickets are available at $35 at anaheimchamber.org.
Anaheim Convention Center, The Ballroom (800 W. Katella Ave., Anaheim). Parking is complimentary.
