Archive for December, 2011

Hi there again,

I wanted to share these few photos before I go on a vacation. I will be ‘out of office’ from December 26th – January 11th. I am now booking 2012 portrait and wedding sessions. If you book with me before January 2012 is over, you will get 3 gift prints in 8×10 size.

I met up with Ashley who is the owner of this great Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/AshleyLynnwfaaj#) in Federal Way at a local park. She brought Jeni with her who is a very pretty model and very easy to work with. She got to change into three different outfits and we made some beautiful photos together. Enjoy!

Hi there,

it’s been a while. I can’t believe we are now in the holiday season and 2012 is just around the corner. Crazy. These days we are spending a lot of time at home, cuddling with Kiki and watching TV. We got a new show obsession, White Collar and Breaking Bad. Although, I prefer to watch White Collar over Breaking Bad but my husband enjoys both, so we watch both. We finished first season of both of those shows and should be getting season 2 tomorrow in the mail. I love the convenience we get these days. You order it online and it’s at your doorstep next day. It saves me a lot of time and makes my life easier.

Anyway, few weeks ago I got to photograph this little guy. He is our friend’s son and he is so adorable. This is pretty much the simplest setup ever. I used their wall below a window and on the right side was a door with bigger window that was letting through the beautiful light. I also added a white reflector (my less than $2.00 board) which I was holding in front of me below his face which created this beautiful sparkle in his eyes. Simple things like this can make a huge difference in the photos. Enjoy and Happy Holidays to everyone!!

On a cold November day, 19th of 2011 to be exact, my husband and I headed down to Portland, OR to photograph yet another wedding together. We woke up early, around 5 AM, packed up our equipment into our car and started driving. We stopped for coffee, venti style, and had fun time just talking. It was nice to be stuck in the car alone again and just talk and laugh. The drive was beautiful even though it was a dark Fall morning, and we even ran into some snow. We arrived in Portland around 10 AM and made our way to a hotel where Dalila was getting ready to marry her soul mate Jasmin. I have seen Dalila before at parties but we never officially met. When I walked into her hotel room, we immediately clicked as we have known each other for years. She is a classic beauty. Her pale skin is flawless and her taste is impeccable. After photographing the first look and formal shots, we headed to her reception venue for a party that was full of laughs, dancing, great food and even more awesome people that Dalila and Jasmin proudly call family and friends.

Here is a sneak peak at their wedding photos. More to come soon. Enjoy!
