I’ve been wanting to shoot Nicole and Kurt’s wedding since their engagement session at the DeYoung Museum last year, because I knew it would be a beautiful wedding. Seriously, what can beat the sunset in the beautiful San Francisco bay, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge? The view was breathtaking, Nicole looked gorgeous.

My apology to Nicole and Kurt that it took me so long to post a few pictures. Jeff has been sick for the past week so I had to concentrate on him instead of my computer. I promise that  I’ll post more pictures very soon!!

It was such an honor to have Chatti from Savady Photography shooting with me for Lisa and Stephen’s wedding. It was so much fun shooting with her and I’m so grateful that she came all the way from Denver to help me out.

This was our first time meeting Lisa and Stephen since they booked me over the phone without a formal meeting. It was a lot of fun to photograph their wedding especially with Lisa’s looong elegant veil. I was really impressed that she had 3 other dresses to change into during the reception. Chatti and I had the best vendor meal ever! We were having a traditional 10 course Chinese banquet meal, just like the rest of the guests. And the crazy part was there were only 3 people sitting at our table, which was meant for 10 people, so we pretty much had unlimited food like shark fin soup, lobsters, fish, sea cucumber with abalone etc etc..It was just awesome!

Stay tuned for more!!!

Baby Jake and his family came over for a small house party that we hosted last weekend, and I took some snapshots for him so his mommy can submit some pictures for the Baby GAP stars models. Baby Jake is so cute and I have no doubt that he will be the next superstar!

Hello! My name is Jake!

Baby pictures are not easy to take. They move around a lot and can get very emotional, so that makes taking baby pictures kindda difficult. On the other hand, they will never give you a fake smile or a fake cry. Whatever caught on camera is the true emotions…priceless emotions. The part that I found out about baby photography is the importance of timing. They are in their best moods after feeding and pooping. DO NOT bother them when they need a nap or a meal. DO NOT attempt to take pictures of them after 6 pm unless you want to record cranky babies. DO NOT take pictures of new born for more than 30 minutes and 1 hour for 2-5 years old unless you want them to start crying. There are many rules you need to follow and THAT’S that make baby photography difficult.

But I LOVE taking baby pictures!!! they are just so cute and precious. It’s just amazing how fast they grow especially during the first year. I feel honored to have a chance to record their physical and emotional growth. The feeling is…what can I say..Priceless.
