2015 Favorites : Family & Portrait Sessions

Nothing say lifestyle photography like getting the opportunities to document the commencement of love between two people, start of a new life, celebration of the firsts, and the dynamics of a growing family.

I was fortunate to document all of the mentioned above, and below are some of my favorites from 2015:

Kara & Marcus - Danced under the golden sunset of Crystal Cove beach, excitingly looking forward to becoming new parents.

The Tint Family : The wonderful feeling of having a sister to bond with and the completion of a family.

The Stein Family : The growth process of a family, Josh & Joyce with two furry babies, Joyce's maternity and finally the arrival of the adorable baby Joan.

Bradley's Smash Cake : Celebrating the "firsts"

Baby Devin : Celebrating another proud "first"!

The Dynamics of a growing family :

Four Generations of love and laughters :

The Tang Family : Generous, Energetic and Loving!

The Ferrer Family : Gorgeous, Sassy and Proud! 

Maternity | Cindy

There's nothing better than to celebrate a pregnancy with some maternity photos, to document how you feel, the excitement, the anticipation, the joy and the fear of upcoming labor.  Thank you Cindy for being such a trooper to walk all over the park with me. on a warm Sunday morning. Hopefully one day you'll look back at the photos with you baby boy and say "look, you were in my tummy" while thinking "OMG! you were in my tummy!".  Congrats on your baby boy and I wish you a smooth and happy labor! 

Tyler's 1st Birthday | Mustache & Bow Ties Theme

It's amazing how a year flies by like it was yesterday since the birth of our baby boy.  With a blink of an eye, Tyler is now crawling, babbling, and showing off his personality with his goofy expressions.  

So to celebrate this milestone, my wife aka baby's mama went on a mission to create this party that Tyler will be able to look back upon and appreciate when he's older.  The conceptualization started a month after his birth and visualization starts to kick in when my wife gradually bring more and more crafts home from her outings.  The very last 2 months (Nov & Dec), nearly every night after Tyler falls asleep, she would work on each bows and bow-ties, that huge number 1 block, custom birthday cake made out of coconut milk and many of the details that you'll see in the following photos.  Even though my photos did NOT do any justice to all the details and hard work she put into the party, it should at least give you some perspectives.  

Special appreciation also goes to all of our happy helpers (Tyler's aunts and uncles) for everything that you guys do, Tyler is truly blessed to be surrounded by such loving family and friends.

2013 - Portrait & Family Session Favorites

2013 has been one hectic year.  Aside from engagements and weddings, I never really got to blog any of the portraits and family sessions.  So to make up for all the lost blog posts, here are few of my favorites from the portrait and family sessions (I'll post my favorite engagement and wedding in couple of days)

Doubletree Downtown LA Wedding | Maggie & Stephen

Every weddings are unique in there own ways, but I have never photographed such relaxed couple like Maggie & Stephen.  None stop smiles and laughters were seen throughout the day, only paused for an emotional father/daughter dance and a beautiful first dance. Thank you Maggie and Stephen for having us document your day!!!

Coordinator: Michelle Tu & Beverly Peterson from AquaFuzion

Under the Lighted Stage

So this is what happen when you put a talented artist/actress under the stage lights, an magical photo was created!

Of course using the technique of "Prisming/Hurding" by Sam Hurd, helped creating the magic straight within the camera.

So we found a lil' Easter bunny - Happy Easter!
