Portrait: Kitty’s nature walk

Being that the weather has been quite pleasant – meaning cold but not stuff-yourself-in-layers cold – the last couple days, I took Kitty out for a nature walk and snapped away. Kitty, of course, is not actually a cat – she’s my sassy little niece (I love you Kitty!). The nickname is fitting since she’s [...]

Baby portrait: Garden of Anabelle

Here’s a Halloween treat for everyone, our baby portrait session with little Anabelle. She was so well behaved when awake (no crying at all!).. and absolutely angelic during nap-time; she played her part well in our Garden of Eden-esque location! A week prior to the shoot, we scouted out a nearby park which had the [...]

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone. Here are the jack-o-lanterns that we carved out of the pumpkins we picked from the patch a week ago. I carved the cool flying bats one. Way awesome, huh?! Anyhow, I hope you all have a safe and fun halloween. Make sure you check your candy before you eat them. Don’t be [...]

Portrait: Mai Zua

I’ve been a recluse for the past couple of months because a loved one just passed away. No words can express what a tremendous loss my family and I have suffered but life shows me in its subtle ways that there will be better days to come. So, I am rededicating my attention towards doing [...]

Snapshots: Pumpkin patch

Halloween is here! So of course this led to a family trip to a “real” pumpkin patch! Growing up in California meant that the only kind of pumpkin patches we visited were the corner lot variety at Home Depot (if we were lucky). You know the kind!? There’s a tent and bales of hay stacked [...]

Mother Nature’s Sky Art

Driving home from my sisters yesterday, I was so busy worrying about the dozen or so blood donations I had generously offered to a mob of mosquitoes from a photo session with my niece, and also that her bites might have outnumbered mine, I didn’t even notice at first the masterpiece that had been painted [...]

Lizzy contacted us awhile back for her high school senior portrait session. She liked our portfolio but instead of an outdoorsy shoot, she wanted to be in the middle of a city center. On the day of, we were blessed with a non-rainy overcast day and headed to downtown Portland… where we got a whole [...]

Summer retro: Kay and Nou

Here’s a blast from the past! These photos were taken during our mentoring session with Millie and Bao. It was during our summer swing to the midwest (which we hope to make it back out there soon =) I finally had the time inspiration to post these up… since it was from awhile back, I [...]
