An Itsabelly Event @ Lullaby Lane

A few months ago, my baby planner friend, Amy from Itsabelly, invited me to be one of the few guest speakers at the Health & Wellness Event at Lullaby Lane Store. I bravely agreed.

Last Saturday night was the big night at Lullaby Lane. There was about 80+ guest who came from all over the Bay Area, attended this special event that night. There was also other vendors who spoke on different topics from baby sleeping tips to how to raise a greener baby to photography tips (from our studio).

I was invited as a guest speaker to present a few quick tips on photography. If you were one of the attendees that night, I hope you have learned a few tips from what I've shared.

Thank you Itsabelly & Lullaby Lane for inviting our studio to be a part of this fun event. It was an honor to be there with ItsaBelly. Here are a few photos to share from that night...

I finally got to meet Athena, who is also a part of the Itsabelly's team.

It was a FULL house that night. I loved how everyone was sitting on a recliner that was actually being sold in the store (Ha!).

Congratulations to Alisa Hsieh, who have won a $100 gift certificate from our studio that night.

I heart Itsabelly.

WPPI 2010 experience

A few weeks ago, I attended one of the biggest photography convention in Vegas (WPPI: Wedding & Portrait Photographers International in Association). There were over 12,000 attendees and over 350+ vendors offering all kinds of products for photographers. I spent 3 days there checking out fun new products, attended inspirational classes and network with many talented photographers. It was a wonderful trip and I'm looking forward to WPPI 2011.

Here are some pics from my trip...

I had the chance to lunch with Vero (Vero Suh Photography) and also got to meet Nancy (Bug & Bean Photography) face-to-face for the first time. She was a sweetheart.



I finally met Ingrid Kaslik (Ingrid Kaslik Photography) for the first time as well. We've been connected on Flickr and Facebook as friends for a while but never had the chance to meet until now.

And I finally met Carrie Sandoval & Brittany Woodall (Baby as Art), they are truly a dynamic duo when it comes to newborn photography.

And I even got to meet Amy Boring (A Boring Photo) too. She was definitely NOT a boring one. Awesome fun gal. I love her cute hair accessory.

There was this superhero dude who was wearing a blue cape... he was so proud of his outfit...walking around the convention, I had to snap a shot of him... and his blue speedo.

I also ran into other friends, Mauricio and Maria (Professional Makeup Artistry) there.

Besides the convention, I even got the chance to check out the Coca-Cola store in Las Vegas. If you didn't know already, I'm in LOVE with Coke.... Love, Love, Love. I can drink it everyday but I try not to....'cuz there's alot of sugar and I should really cut back on that since we have a history of diabetic in my family. Nothing beats the true taste of Classic Coke... no, not even Pepsi.

Inside this Coke store, they had a beverage stand where you can order drinks and also get a taste of 16 different Coke from around the world. My friend, Amy and I decided to give it a try and ordered a set. It arrived in 2 trays of 8 small cups. Drink them by number as they have instructed. Now I know why you had to drink them in order because it would start out as yummy, yummy, okay, okay, bad, bad, yucky, grooosss and then yummy again towards the very end. I just remembered the Coke from Italy (which was clear in color) tasted more like Vodka than Coke. Ha! It was a really fun experience overall. I highly recommend anyone who goes to Vegas to go visit the Coke store there and try this out for themselves.







I also came across this cool LED screen on a building... what a cute PSP idea, eh?

Fundraising Online Auction...

Last year, I donated my time and talent to create a classroom project for my son's kindergarten class. It was a book called "I Wonder..." and it consist of images of every student from his classroom plus their artwork and a special quote about what they wondered in life. They all began their sentence as "I Wonder...". The book was placed on an online auction and the book was auctioned off with overwhelming responds and sold for $330 with 27 bids. My heart melted to see how much everyone wanted to purchase this book.

Besides the classroom project itself, I also donated a full Portrait Session to the school which was up for bids beginning at $175 for a full portrait session. 100% of the donation went directly to Neil Armstrong Elementary School.
