    Wedding Inspiration by Photographer: Hair

    February 9, 2010

    This is new categories that I am adding to my blog entry. As a photographer, I wanted to create my own inspirational board for my readers.Certainly, I am not a stylist so I will make this brief and simple. It’s more like Tammie’s favorite things.  As I browse Internet, it always amazes me how amazing these modern brides look on their wedding photos.  Each have their own distinctive style. I am old fashioned. I still love laced wedding gown and mantilla veil on brides personally, but as a photographer I love photographing a bride who wants to be daring!
    I guess these hair pieces represent  ”Vintage” with modern twist.
    I just love them!  Jen and Jamie at Ban.do do such a wonderful job. I love their new dramatic ones.  You should definitely visit their site.
    So if you are looking to make statement and not afraid of having fun how about we do the session with some of these hair pieces.  Or wear the veil for your ceremony and wear these for your photography session.

    Baby Lucas : Teaser Monday

    February 8, 2010

    I enjoy photographing weddings but also enjoy photographing little ones. Previous wedding clients call me whenever they have happy news to share. So that’s how it all began. I’ve been dying to share some baby images on this blog but they kept on pushed back because of wedding previews.  So the most recent baby will have an honor to be the first featured baby on my blog.  Here is a quick teaser of  last week’s session in my studio. He is only 10 days old here.  For some reason, my newborns don’t really fall asleep during our session. Not only that they are all natural born models and actors.

    Oh those dreamy eyes!

    So easy going just like his parents. I love how baby’s lips are shaped.

    Haiti Relief Fundraier Night : Event Photography 01.28.2010

    February 1, 2010
    “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”
    Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)

    It’s already February of 2010.  I can’t  believe I haven’t blogged yet. More entries coming soon. My first blog entry of 2010 is about “Giving”. This isn’t to boast what I do or how much I care.  I just wanted to  remind all of us who are willing to give but don’t get to do it as often as you should.  Here is recent article on Haiti if you are not following.  There are people like Sam and Stephanie who can organize big events like in such a short time, but also there are some of us who can only do little at a time.A friend asked me if I can fill in for few hours to cover this Unicef charity event to help Haiti Victims at the Orchid Restaurant and Cafe last Thursday. I am happy to give my time and talent to charity. If you are an organizer of non-profit events or charity events and in need of photography please don’t hesitate to contact me.  If I am not booked and if it’s something that I believe in, I will be there. The Orchid restaurant is an awesome place for your special events, very airy and modern.  This place was filing up quickly as I was leaving, I am sure the even was very successful. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this Stephanie and Sam!
