“i want candy”

Meet Candy, Eugene and the adorable Cola (like me, Eugene loves to drink Coca-Cola). One word to describe these three: FIERCE. I mean, who shows up in a wilderness park rocking killer heels?! A girl by the name of Candy.

They made these super cute chalkboards to use for their save the dates. I am super excited for their wedding in December!

Ok we see who the real star of this shoot and the baby in the family is:

Some alone time… (I was holding the doggie. During this shoot I learned that I could take a photo and walk a dog at the same time. Yes, I am that talented.)

I told you: F-I-E-R-C-E. Talk about modeling from your head to your toes. Even Cola is doing the “look away” pose.

My favorite set of the day. Notice how I make them do all the climbing and just stand at the bottom? I’m really good at directing. :)

And of course I had to make Candy climb on something in her heels. No mercy – anything for the shot!

Hours later, Candy was still strutting her stuff… She made me feel bad for feeling tired in my flats!

After the park, we headed to the stunning light fixtures at the LACMA. What a way to end the day.

kim + quang: engagement

April 16, 2010

“beautiful day”

I had a fabulous session with Kim + Quang at one of my favorite places to shoot in Los Angeles – Griffith Observatory. It was the perfect the way to commemorate their love and spend a nice Friday afternoon :) . These two have such laid back personalities and fit each other so well. I can’t wait for their wedding in May!

“i knew i loved you”

As Takeo said so confidently in front of their families at their engagement party last month, “when you know, you know.” You can hear it, feel it and see it – they know. And these photos sure say it. Congrats Michelle + Takeo!

“i want you to know what love is”

I feel fortunate to meet new, wonderful people in my profession, but I feel even more blessed when I get the opportunity to capture memorable moments for those very dear to me. Mirei is my beautiful best friend and I was honored to take these engagement photos for her and Jimmy. I couldn’t be happier for these two – I have happily witnessed their love grow and develop into something so amazing. As her maid of honor and as good as multi-tasking as I am, I won’t be able to hold a bouquet and camera in each hand, so I am thrilled that Mirei chose the talented Brian Khang to take pics for their big day. Just as exciting, Mirei chose the All Made Up Team to make us all look amazing on her wedding day. Here’s a sneak peek of how gorgeous Mirei will look, as Angelina of the All Made Up Team did another incredible job on Mirei’s makeup & hair for the engagement session.

Mirei & Jimmy are two of the happiest people I know, so I thought something like these fun pink balloons would add that special touch to their engagement session. We ended up having a lot of fun with the balloons, especially Jimmy :) . Without further adieu, here is the happy couple:

I had a couple one time ask me why I take photos of shoes….um…give me cute fuchsia heels with cute fuchsia ribbons like these and I will spend the whole day taking photos of these shoes:
