wide-eyed and red-y

Had the privilege of photographing this lovely newborn recently. She had the biggest eyes and greatest red hair for a newborn. She must've been extra excited for her session too, because she stayed awake as long as she could.



But we outlasted her and got some sleeping pictures in the end too.





I love the proud look on big brother's face.





This family may look familiar to you, as they are all over my website. Mom was one of the first people to take a gamble on me as a photographer, and I am so thankful for her faith in me! I may not have gotten to this point otherwise.

We're back from Boston. And had a wonderful time there, just soaking up Boston.
Will try to post more from our trip later, but for now here is a couple beautiful sisters, whose different personalities shine through in these images. I know mom is faithfully checking. =)

2 cool chicks

off to Boston tomorrow morning. weeeee!!!

promise to post some non-cruise-related pics when I return. =)

i know i'm a photographer when...

i get the new jcrew catalog in the mail, and all i do is look at the photos, thinking "i love the composition, background, lighting, blah blah blah" of these photos and imagining how to stage similar shots. And I don't even pay attention to the new wardrobe lineup.
But seriously, JCrew has been doing some pretty eye-catching on-location photo shoots lately. I guess it doesn't hurt that they're in places like Prague and Morocco. Gotta find some clients over there... =)
You can see the latest catalog here and get some inspiration!

i know it's been quiet around here...

i guess that's what happens when you're busy moving to the other side of the world. but thought i'd quickly post this happy picture taken from 1/4 way around the world. i know my family will be amused. =)



whose jump do you like the best?

some things you don't see every day...

at least not on this side of the Atlantic.




(fresh catch of the day, hung at restaurant's entrance. it's actually luke's fav dish in greece - grilled octopus. not kidding. good stuff.)

which one is your favorite?

08.08.08.

Just a quick post in honor of it being 08.08.08.

8 is a lucky number in Chinese because it sounds like the word "fortune". So definitely a very "lucky" day today. (Thus, also a very appropriate day to start the Olympics in Beijing)
8 also sounds like the word "dad" in Chinese, so today is also considered father's day. =)

If I was more on top of things, I'd post a photo in honor of dads, or of our recent trip around the Mediterranean, or in honor of the number "8"... but alas, I am not, and merely wanted to commemorate the date 08.08.08... at 8 o'clock nonetheless. =)

So have a wonderful day and catch some Olympics.

And because I'm feeling silly... if anyone feels inspired to take a photo that somehow honors the number "8", email it to me and maybe you'll get a special surprise. =b
