Sneak peeks from East Coast...

Finally back on track with my work and life after a wonderful week spent over in the East Coast. I heart New York. And Toronto, was a beautiful city.

A quick sneak peek from a photo shoot I did in Canada.


And a quick photo shoot from New York, which I was actually in along with my best friend (um, yeh, I'm not behind the camera this time). Photo by Augie Chang Photography. More to come...

Bidding for Good Cause...

Every public school in the Bay Area are in need for more funds. One of the best ways that I can help out our local schools is by donating my Portrait Sessions to the local schools for their annual online fundraising auctions.

Here's a second chance for you to donate to a local school AND earn yourself a Portrait Session for your baby. Our other Portrait Session was auction out at Neil Armstrong Elementary and sold for a very good price! 100% of those funds went to Neil Armstrong Elementary School for better education.

This time, 100% of your donation for this one will go towards Creekside Elementary School. We already have 2 bidders in the game so far - Yeah! This online auction will end on this Friday, 5/30 at midnight. Place your bid now before it ends!

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?

Happy New Year

Happy 2010 Everyone. I hope you all had a fabulous holiday with your love ones. It's been one crazy holiday season at our studio and we are still catching up with some editing and orders from our December sessions. Thank you everyone for being so patient with us as we tackle each session one after another.

During this holiday, I took my family to Asia to visit Hong Kong and Thailand this year. We just got back last week and is still adjusting our biological clock back to the California timezone right now. We are almost all back on track, if only my little guy would sleep through the night again one of these nights.

The highlight of my trip in Hong Kong was being able to see my 88 year old grandma again, and being able to see all my close cousins and relatives there as well. I also got to witness my husband's little sister tied the knot with her new husband as I watched my first born son walked down that aisle with the couple's wedding rings on the pillow in his handsome little tuxedo.

From Hong Kong, my husband and I went off to a little rendez-vous to Thailand for a couple of days, sans kids. We visited the beautiful city of Bangkok together and walked the streets at night hand in hand. The highlight of my Thailand trip was having the chance to really spend some quality time with my dear hubby. It was such a treat for us to be able to get away to just rejuvenate as two tired parents.

My boys got to spend time with their grandparents in Hong Kong while we were gone and even got to visit the Disneyland in Hong Kong during those few days. I don't think they missed us very much after all!?

While in Bangkok, we visited some of the world-known landmarks and shrines including the Four Face Buddha at Erawan Shrine, the Giant Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and many more. Of course, I took lots of pictures while I was there and I will definitely share more of that here when I have them ready.

It's been a fabulous holiday overall, eventhough it was quite hectic and tiring traveling with 2 young kids at this age but I am sure that it was definitely a great experience for them both as well.

I want to wish everyone a prosperous New Year and may all your wishes and New Year resolutions come true and stay consistent throughout this year. I look forward to meet many more new faces, playing with more chubby babies and seeing more beautiful bellies this coming year. Thank you everyone for your love and support throughout this past year. I am very blessed and fortunate to be able to do what I truly love with your trust in my work. I will continue to push my creative juice to the next level at each of my sessions this coming year and I can't wait to share what I create with you all here on my blog.

And before I go, I must post a photo ... so here's a quick teaser of taken in Thailand.

Cheers to another fabulous year everyone - Happy 2010!
