my birthday shoot

August 7, 2009

“otherside”

I decided to give being in front of the camera a try for my 29th birthday. I always feel weird looking at myself in photos, but I figured I might as well do something for myself, especially while I can still get away with looking young and frolicking in the grass…lol. I always wanted to do that! So I asked the talented Brian Khang to help capture some fabulicious memories of me and boy did her ever! I was in total awe when I woke up this morning and found that Brian had already posted some on his blog. I couldn’t decide which ones I liked best so I posted them all. The light was just so delicious! Thank you Brian & Helen for such a fun & splendid shoot!

Thank you to the amazing Angelina of the amazing All Made Up Team for her incredible job on my hair & makeup. I know it’s hard to believe, but I don’t wake up looking like this…lol.

The location and light were just soooo yummy!

I borrowed my friend’s old skool camera as a prop for the shoot. I also brought along my dorky sample album :) .

I vacationed all summer with my Jason Mraz hat and just had to incorporate it into our session.

This is how I prepare for my shoots – with meditation.

the best is yet to come

“it’s my time”

WOW! It’s hard to believe another year has already gone by! It’s even harder to believe that I have officially approached my last year of my twenties! YIKES! It’s almost the end of an era for me. I have TONS of twenty something memories and I guess I’m just not ready to grow up…lol.

On a serious note, I find myself on this day at the fine age of 29 – a very happy, lucky and strong person. It’s been quite a year for me – a lot has happened and I can’t even put into words all the emotions I have experienced in the last 365 days – excitement, disappointment, nervousness, happiness, heartache and the list goes on. But, it’s with these life experiences, that I find myself a remarkably better person. I know with all the love, wisdom and support I have, there’s no goal I can’t achieve nor any obstacle I can’t overcome in my life. The sky is the limit and after living and learning for 28 wonderful years, I can whole heartedly say that life is truly what you make of it. The best is yet to come and each year seems to just get better and better. So lets celebrate!!!

I took this photo with my iPhone during our Florida Trip. We were crossing the Seven Mile Bridge in Key West and I thought to myself “how blessed am I to experience this?!“. I pinch myself everyday.

And yes, President Obama and I share the same birthday. We were going to have a joint birthday party this year, but I didn’t want to steal his thunder.

“one more time”

WOW!  Time does fly by!  Our lil’ DJ is already one year old and grows cuter each day! Wendi & Dustin had me come by to capture the big birthday baseball themed bash for their lil’ slugger.  I had a blast and if you can’t tell by these photos – so did everyone else!

Here’s the beautiful birthday boy!

“miss independent”

Lynn hired me a few weeks ago to take some photos at Rancho Los Alamitos in honor of her upcoming birthday.   Lynn is super sweet and super excited for her birthday.  Judging by these photos, she hardly looks her age, which shall remain a mystery =).

**Lynn – Thank you for such a fun session!  Hope you enjoy your special day missy!!!

“just the two of us”

Last weekend we celebrated the bf’s birthday with friends (see post below) and this weekend I am taking the bf to a top secret location to have a lil’ celebration of our own.  I think he has no idea where we’re going so hopefully he will be pleasantly surprised.

the bf bday

 

So I will be out of the “office” starting right now =) and will respond to emails when I get back on Monday.

Hope you have an awesome weekend too!!!

happy birthday kobe!!!

“always be my baby”

I still remember the day I brought him home almost 2 years ago. He was so tiny and was crying softly because he had been separated from his mom a few days earlier. I knew then that he needed me as much as I needed him. He was my lil’ pup and got me through some difficult times back then. We shared a lot of great times together like eating and sleeping =). At 2 years of age, he has now become a strapping young lad (he even has a gf!), but in my heart, he will always be my baby. Happy 2nd birthday Kobes!!! (And to the other Kobe, you better stay with the Lakers!!!)

See how lil’ and precious he was?!? And FYI – the scared look on his face was due to the flash on the camera, not because of me!
