If your brain feels so ‘full’ that you feel mentally paralyzed, you’re probably suffering from decision fatigue. An American makes an estimated 35,000 decisions a day. Studies on parole boards and consumer habits show that as choices accumulate, people become significantly more prone to rejecting difficult changes or making rushed, suboptimal picks. Choosing not to choose might be the best response to the daily avalanche of options.
In person at 10:30am at 4451 Dunsmore Ave., La Crescenta, CA 91214 or visit the UUCVH website for the ZOOM link https://www.uuverdugo.org/

A limited-day holiday portrait experience created especially for sitting babies. Baby in a Box Holiday Edition features festive studio sets designed to capture your baby’s expressions, personality and first Christmas season. Only three sessions are available.
Celebrate your baby’s first Christmas with a holiday portrait experience designed just for little ones.
Baby in a Box Holiday Edition is a festive studio photography experience for babies who can sit independently, typically around 6–12 months old.
Your baby is photographed inside a specially designed 2×2-foot white portrait box, with Christmas outfits, simple holiday decorations and playful props creating a collection of individual portraits. The images can also be combined into the signature Baby in a Box collage.
Because babies this age have their own schedules, personalities and attention spans, sessions are kept short and focused. There is plenty of room for smiles, serious expressions, curiosity and all the little expressions that make this stage worth remembering.
What’s included:
<ul>
<li>60-minute private studio session
</li>
<li>10 professionally edited digital images
</li>
<li>
Multiple Baby in a Box holiday setups
</li>
<li>3 outfit changes</li>
<li>
Signature Baby in a Box portrait style
</li>
<li>
Private appointment; your time is reserved exclusively for your family
</li>
</ul>
Best age: Approximately 6–12 months. Babies should be able to sit independently.
Important safety requirement: Two adults must attend the session so that your baby can be safely supervised and spotted throughout the experience.
<h3>Limited availability</h3>
For this special event date, I am accepting only three Baby in a Box Holiday Edition sessions. 
Each family receives a private appointment rather than rotating through a high-volume mini-session setup.
Advance reservations are required. Only three appointments are available.
Reserve your Baby in a Box Holiday Edition session through Panos Productions Photography. Advanced reservations required.

ARTIST BIOS: Known as the pianist of the jazz band Black Note, Ark Sano is reputed as one of the top pianists on the jazz scene. As a Summa Cum Laude graduate and scholarship recipient of the Berklee College of Music with a major in Jazz and Composition, one of his highest achievements was when he became a finalist of The Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition. He has appeared in numerous recordings with Black Note, and produced four albums, including "Jungle Music" and "Nothin But Swing." He has appeared in well-known Jazz Festivals at North Sea, Monterey, Montreal, and JVC. In addition to his talented jazz skills, Ark is a composer, music arranger, music director and conductor of the Japan Chamber Music Ensemble. Larry Steen has been declared "A giant of the not too distant future" by the Los Angeles Times. Equally proficient on both fretted and fretless electric bass, as well as classical and jazz upright bass, Larry's accomplishments are nothing short of remarkable. Steen has performed and/or recorded with a wide array of top-name performers, cutting across all genres. The list includes everyone from Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Billy Eckstine and Mel Tormé to Bennie Maupin, Louis Bellson, Bob Sheppard, Airto Moreira and Flora Purim. He has also performed with Barry Manilow, Engelbert Humperdinck, Melissa Manchester and Jimmy Buffett, as well as Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Dave Koz and Steve Vai. Larry has played bass on numerous TV and radio recordings, including Roswell, Providence, Felicity, Once and Again, Beverly Hills 90210, Power Rangers, General Hospital, Entertainment Tonight and many others. His debut CD, First Move, features jazz luminaries Ernie Watts, Dave Weckl, Otmaro Ruíz and others, including Yellowjackets bassist Jimmy Haslip, who served as executive producer. His latest release, View from Afar, recorded by the Larry Steen World Jazz Ensemble, features Robben Ford, Ernie Watts, Russell Ferrante, Doug Webb and other notable musicians.
Born in Downey, California into a working class family. Dustin Haner found his love for the drums in High School at the age of 13. Like many young people Dustin was immersed in the old 60's rock of Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, and the Rolling Stones. Quickly adapting to the rhythms and sounds he was hearing the discovery of jazz, be-bop in particular, became a foundational part of his playing. Since then, Mr. Haner has been relentless in pursuit of swing and groove. His broad influences include the works of Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinsky as well as jazz musicians Thelonius Monk, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Art Blakey, Miles Davis, Elvin Jones, Philly Joe Jones and Roy Haynes. Mr. Haner has been performing throughout the Southern California music scene with his 21st century group Stoptime, the Michael Le Van Trio and the local inspiration Jaques Leisures organ trio. His stint with the great vocalist Elena Gilliam annd background in music at CSULB as a young talent has given Mr. Haner the tools to provide great feeling grooves across the spectrum of music.
