KIMMIE + KEN | los angeles engagement session

I just LOVE summer and its gorgeous light! I had the pleasure of my photographing my two friends who absolutely two of the sweetest people I know and who are undeniably perfect for each other! They claim to be shy in front of the camera, but I think their sweet love shines through in these photos. Special props (hahha no pun intended) to Kimmie for being super crafty and making super cute props for the…read more

LAI + MIKE | ENGAGEMENT

Usually I write a blurb about my couple and their unique and wonderful relationship.  I thought I’d tell you instead a little story from Lai + Mike’s engagement session at the Griffith Observatory. So typically my couples and I discuss engagement locations and different ways to make their session more personal (i.e. meaningful locations, props relating to their favorite things).  In Lai + Mike’s case, Mike told me flat out that they didn’t have any…read more

LOVE IN THE LIBRARY

Love is definitely in the air and everywhere! A fellow UCLA alum, AnhDao told me that her and Apollo love to spend their pastime reading books so we decided the gorgeous UCLA campus and library would be the perfect backdrop for their engagement session. I had AnhDao + Apollo kissing/goofing off in the library but I made sure we didn’t talk on our cell phones =P. I always enjoy spending time with these two and…read more

jenna + steven: engagement part 2

“act a fool” Jenna + Steven went from this super sweet photo shoot to this super hot one. But, before we get into how hot their photos from part 2 turned out, let me start by saying that everything that could go wrong almost did during the second half of their engagement shoot. Being the big klutz that I am (my knees can prove it), I (slightly) rear-ended Steven’s car (no I was not texting,…read more

“sweetness in starlight” I always feel so blessed to work with such wonderful couples.  I met Steven last year through mutual friends and he told me how he wanted to do a surprise proposal for his girlfriend and asked me to capture some photos for them after the big moment. I was honored to be given the opportunity to catch an intimate glimpse of such a beautiful love story. You can see these photos and…read more

virginia & sinh: los angeles engagement

“look of love” I had an amazing time with Virginia & Sinh as we hit up some of Los Angeles’ most picturesque spots. Little did we know that we had picked to have our shoot the same day as this year’s winter solstice. What is a winter solstice you ask? Well, a winter solstice occurs exactly when the earth’s axial tilt is farthest away from the sun. And yes I looked up that definition on…read more
