    Audrey’s Red Egg and Ginger Party

    Saturday, August 21st, 2010

    In the Chinese culture, it is customary for parents to celebrate their newborn’s one month birthday at a Red Egg and Ginger Party. I had the fortune of attending my very first party for my niece and it was pretty neat. Lots of friends and family came to visit with traditional red envelopes. There was tons of “oooohs” and “awwww”s coming from everyone as Audrey lay asleep throughout the majority of the day, but the pics that came out are too adorable.

    Coincidentally, today also happens to be the day when Audrey’s umbilical chord fell off, which means it’s time to don her water melon swim suite and hit the pool! Here’re some of my favs from the party and her spending her very first dip in the pool with  dad.

    Thanks baby girl for the cute pics and looking forward to the baptism!

    Happy Birthday Audrey | Baldwin Park, Ca

    Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

    Big congratulations to my great friends Virginia and Chris on their very first newborn. Welcome home Audrey! We’ve been waiting for you for quite some time now. Even though you were late, you were fashionably late so all is forgiven.

    Happy Birthday Audrey | Baldwin Park, Ca

    Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

    One of my dearest friends from college recently had a baby a few weeks back and I was lucky enough to visit baby Audrey on her birthday, which was about a week later than we all had expected. We tried everything to get her out on her due date. From hiking to eating extra spicy Indian food, but man was she persistent. Took a little extra patience, but I’m glad to say that we’ve got a beautiful bundle of joy for both Chris and Virginia as well as the first official addition to my close group of friends.

    The Paris Family

    Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

    After shooting a newborn for the first time in my life last December at the Paris Family house, I was invited out again for round two! This time I came prepared! I made sure to take the photoshoot outside, brought some very fast prime lenses and made sure the venue was just perfect. So that being said, we had originally planned on heading to a small park with a baseball field and some flat grassy fields. I wasn’t too happy with the lack of variety so we ended up driving around for another 30 minutes looking up parks with my iPhone and eventually went to the Kenneth Hahn Recreational Area. That place is HUGE! It comes with such fine amenities such as a playground, waterfal, pond and an AMAZING view of downtown LA. The LA shots will have to wait for another day, so hopefully these will whet your appetite.

    In followup to shooting baby Oliver last December at 6 months old, I had a great chance to finally take him outside to a local park and get some adorably cute images. It’s amazing how fast they change at this age. Here’s a preview!
