Personal, Photography

Apart from his Christmas gift, my husband gave me the best New Year’s gift yet… a new lens! I’ve been wanting this glass for sooo long, that when my hubs decided to get me one, I totally flipped. I was so happy to be getting a wonderful gift, but even more thankful for being blessed with the most thoughtful, supportive husband in the world! So today, when the Brown Santa came by with my new toy I just had to play!

 

Flowers that my hubs gave me a few days ago


Some place mats I found in the dining room


A close up of my watch. I can’t wait to use this lens for ring shots!


My husband’s bracelet


From the same flower my hubs gave me


My new toy :)


Next on my list… the new 5D Mark II!

Maternity

When Quyen and I were discussing our maternity shoot, I expressed my vision in detail. I was worried she’d feel uncomfortable with my ideas; but instead, she went with everything I had in mind! She and Elton were such a joy to work with, one would think they do this all the time! :)

I had so much fun shooting this session, I literally had a hard time deciding which photos to post. I’ve finally settled with these twelve. I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I loved shooting them!


I love the light in their bedroom!


I thought Elton was super sweet for agreeing to have their boy go to UCI for college someday!


… Or maybe not! He’s Trojans all the way! I love Quyen’s expression in this one :)


We shot this right at their doorstep! I love the neighborhood they live in.


How about getting some more of that beautiful light in?


Quyen and Elton are so ready for the arrival of their little one! I love the blue walls and Espresso crib; my colors exactly!


Sigh… so in love!


It was extremely chilly that day, but Quyen and Elton did everything I suggested, no questions asked! I love these two!


My favorite in this set! I have to say, that flare on her ring is totally unintentional. I love that it emphasizes the bling :)


So comfy… as if I wasn’t there!


I know I went a bit OTT (Over the Top) with this photo, but Quyen is just sooo beautiful, and even more dazzling with her baby bump, that I couldn’t help but be a little creative with this one!


Quyen and Elton… you guys are the bomb! Maternity sessions are usually made to be soft and delicate, but you guys rocked it like it’s nobody’s business. Thank you for giving me the freedom to go a bit crazy with my ideas. I appreciate your trust!

Love,

Maternity

I’d like to share one photo I took this weekend of the beautiful and radiant Quyen. Mad props to you for braving the cold! More to come very soon!
