Life has been hectic since my last trip to New York in June. But editing these photos made me happy. Unlike most wedding photographers who venture into children’s photography after wedding photography. When I first started my business majority of my business were based on children’s portraiture. Though I don’t have a child yet but after photographing children for almost decades now. I can say that I know a thing or two about raising children.  These two well mannerd kids were joy to photograph. If you have been to my family portrait site, you will recognize their faces. Their mother Jennifer is my friend and the biggest supporter of my career.
I have known these two beautiful children since they were little. They call me “Tammie Imo” (aunt Tammie in Korean). I wish I could see them more often but Andy and I are very thankful for having them in our lives.  I don’t think I have officially thanked Jennifer so here it goes Jen, I hope these photos show my deepest appreciation and thank you for making cute babies.  I love you xoxo! (it’s very weird to say this maybe cause we are Korean (oh yes, you will still have to wait few more days to see rest of photos)  
A Little fashionista !

Miss those smiles already!

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.

It was a beautiful day in Vancouver, BC. When the warm afternoon light illuminated relaxing Granville Island, I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph this cute girl named Violet and her handsome father. (Violet’s gorgeous mother was jogging around the island) After our mini-portrait session, Violet’s father told me that they do this almost every weekend.  What a sweet moment I captured. I hope you treasure these images for years to come Violet!   It turns out Violet’s mother is an aspiring photographer herserlf. She shared her photos with me later via internet.   Can’t wait to photograph your family again in LA.
I just love what Violet was wearing… so cute….

Last Thursday, I photographed this charming baby named Gage.
This tall and hansome newborn is in 70 percentile!
Gage’s mother is a strikingly beautiful model so you know where he gets his good looks from.
well, from the displayed family photos his daddy isn’t bad looking either
Gage also has a very cute older sister who loves him very much.
I can’t wait to photograph the family again in the fall.
It was not a love at first sight for Gage and I He wasn’t really sure about me.

Gage’s mom wanted all B&W images but I fell in love with Gage’s blue eyes.
I found out Gage and I have something in common, Gage prefers this position for sleeping too.
I think Gage was too excited for our photo shoot, his mother told me that he did not sleep at all in the morning. So he was really really tired.
I decided to let him sleep. I did not want him to be traumatized from his first photo session.

I have been documenting Serena’s first year. This project was arranged before Serena was born. I saw Serena’s older siblings and I knew that she was going to have the gorgeous set of deep blue eyes. My first meeting with Serena was when she was only 3 weeks old so I did not get to see her blue eyes. When Melissa brought Serena out in her pretty blue dress, I thought I saw most beautiful baby in the whole world. Well, all babies are beautiful! but this one is special…. Don’t you think?
So here is image of her with no retouching or enhancement.

Miss Personality!

Here is Serena at 3 weeks while she was dreaming in her mommy’s arm.

I have been photographing these cute girls since their christening. Marley is now 3 1/2 years old and Giulia is 1 1/2 years old. I love photographing children and I count this as one of the greatest blessings in life, watching these children grow and being part of commemorating their life with my images.
I’ve got much needed cardio photographing these girls.
I love their cute red dress that Marely picked out. Can’t you already tell that she has a great taste for fashion? It’s simply beautiful and looks comfortable!
