2011 was an amazing year. Thanks to you all.

We look forward to meet many more new faces. And also see familiar faces again as you return to our studio to have us captureanother amazing year with your growing babies.

Below is a slideshow of all our newborns from 2011.

Cheers to many more in 2012!

Happy January

Happy New Year!

Ah, yes, I think its still okay to wish you all a Happy New Year as we are still in the first month of January in 2011.

As you have already noticed, its been a little quiet here on our blog. Well, it sure wasn't quiet at all at our studio as the holiday just swallowed me entirely with all the holiday shoots and orders coming through. I hope everyone had the chance to send out their beautiful Christmas cards with photos taken from our studio. I received a few in the mail from some of you guys, thank you SO SO much for sharing them!

I have so many sneak peeks that I want to share and will try to catch up with those as soon as I can. Thank you everyone for staying in touch through our Facebook fan page. If you're not a fan of our page yet, please add yourself to see our latest pics of babies and bellies. I seem to be doing better at updating the Facebook page than I have been here on our blog.


{ Bigger is better }

As every year passes by, we reflect back onto the years that was before us. And for this past year, so much have happened with me and my family in 2010, especially with our youngest son, Cooper. You can read more about his story here.

Every year since Cooper was a newborn, I would take a photo of him in his white undershirt in our laundry room. I haven't forgotten this year but as you can see, he wasn't as cooperative as he was from the other 3 years. This gets more and more challenging as the year goes by as his personality gets stronger and stronger each day. This year, he refused to let me put him in his white undershirt so the cute Gap pajamas did the job. I might have to try this with him again (IN his white shirt) so that I can keep his photographic growth chart looking consistent.

Thank you for bearing with me little Cooper. It's been amazing to watch you grow right before my eyes for the past 3.5 years. I look forward to create more fun series of photos with you like this as you continue to grow stronger and healthier each year.

Thank you everyone for all your love and support for the past year.

One of my New Year resolution is to visually enhance this blog and make it better with more updates and more photos to share with you all.

Happy 2010!

Halloween 2010

Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween this year.

Our Halloween was a blast. My boys dressed up as Harry Potter and well, so did I. I tried, although I've only watched Harry Potter once and I've completely forgotten how it was in the movie. I managed to find an outfit out of my closet somehow. Okay, next year I'll try harder.

Every year I try my best to match what the boys' theme costumes are. Last year, both the boys were Darth Vader, so I was Princess Leia. The year before that in 2008, they were both Buzz Lightyears so I was Jessie the Cowgirl. The cousins comes over to trick or treat in our neighborhood, its almost a tradition of ours now. Year after year, we would put all 4 of the boys together for a costume photo. Looking back at them, its so much fun!

I love dressing up with my boys. And I plan to continue to do this until they are embarrassed of me copying them someday.

Thank you everyone for all your inquiries for holiday bookings. We are now 95% booked for this season. If you are looking for a last minute holiday booking, please send us an email and we will try our best to fit you into any openings we might have left.

At this time, we have some special news to share. As you might have already noticed, our studio have been offering unique one-of-a-kind custom birth announcements and holiday cards for the past few years. Many of these clients raved about their cards and so did all their friends and family. We can't be any happier to hear that.

At the same time, I also had many clients who have also request for the option to just choose from a few different templates... which I never had time to create yet. Well, that project of 'designing new templates for our studio' has been on my mind for the past year but I just haven't had the time to execute that great idea yet. Well, I've found a great idea which marries the two.

We're very proud to share that we will be working with Tiny Prints to provide photos taken from your portrait session on their printed stationery now. (Yeah!) It's a natural collaboration, as we both place an emphasis on high quality products, modern designs and exceptional service. Together, we'll help you share your special moments one photo at a time.

Ordering for your holiday cards or birth announcements just got easier. Check out our BRAND NEW storefront and purchase your cards through our new shop: Jenny Lee Photography + Tiny Prints Cards

Shall I say, HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!???

Labor Day weekend...

Happy Labor Day weekend to you all. Hope you all had a fun and relaxing long weekend with your family.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Often times, I wonder how many people are actually reading my blog. So if you are one of my loyal readers, please don't just walk away without saying "hello". I'd love to hear from you and know who you are. Leave me a comment, I love to read them :)

So, over this long weekend, I got to spend a whole lot of time with my boys. I also got to clean out their closets and put away some clothes that they have outgrown. It's always sad for me to put away those 'baby' clothes because it always reminds me of how my babies aren't babies anymore and soon they will just turn into little young adults.

I cherish the days we have now as I know that the first 5 years of their lives are the most precious years as a parent. I hope that they will have memories of Mommy playing with them when they grow up. Taking pictures of them is the only way I can freeze their youth right now and I already do that every month.

Here are just few highlight from our weekend...

The boys ran around the house shirtless with just their bottoms on (or undies)... telling me how HOT it was...

Jumping on MY bed is always an all time favorite...check out my stuntman, he is always so full of life.

I had to pin them down to capture a few great giggles together...

And finally, a special moment captured... as I was just sitting there in my bathroom floor looking down at my camera, I noticed the 2 boys were quiet, and I looked up to see what's going on and this is what I saw. This moment last for about 8 seconds and then the little one ran away. I'm so glad I was able to capture this sweet moment of them together. Perhaps, someday, with Cooper's diagnose, maybe one of them will be aspired to be a doctor when they grow up.

A Fabulous Easter Weekend

It was a weekend filled with lots of fun, colorful eggs, candies and laughs. I spent my Saturday afternoon painting eggs with my kids and nephews. I've never really dyed eggs before (yeh, I know)... so this year I made sure the kids got to dye some eggs for Easter since both of them are at the age where they can now understand so much more than they did last year or the year before. During the process of egg dyeing, I also learned that adding vinegar to the color dye makes the colors brighter, now isn't that a cool thing to know.

So from here on out.. I am going to make this a little Easter tradition for my kids... finding time to just sit down and paint eggs together...year after year. I really loved how it turned out. And I mostly just loved spending that quality time with the boys... and being able to capture all those beautiful colors with my camera.

Hope you all had a fabulous Easter weekend as well. Cheers!

Happy Easter

Wishing everyone a fabulous Easter weekend. Don't forget to take lots of pictures with your kids and their colorful eggs and easter baskets.

On Valentine's Morning...

...I woke up and made heart shape pancakes for all 3 of my boys (yes, including the BIG grown up one too). Then we opened our Valentine's day present in our jammies. The boys loved their little gifts... a Dinner Doodle pad for Aidan (he LOVES to draw at restaurants before the food arrives)... and cute little ABC Paul Frank flash cards for the little one. And a music Valentine's card for the BIG boy (aka. hubby). I was a happy mommy. Life is sweet.

Every Valentine's Day, whether its your first... or your third, should be celebrated.

Everytime I tell him I have something for him, he would have to close his eyes, open his hands and get it... this time I took a snap of this familiar scene.


I love that sweet, genuine happy look on his face when he received his gift. And then just showing off his mommy's grafiti skillz on his gift. (Ha!)

Oh, trust me, it WAS a heart shape... shoulda took this shot before they ate it huh?

This awesome Dinner Doodle pad had step by step instructions on how to draw things like animals, trucks, etc. My hubby and I saw it at a local bookstore in San Francisco near Pesce restaurant when we were there celebrating our early Valentine's dinner the day before Valentine's day.
