Thanks for stopping by!

I love the simple things in life.  I love cooking spaghetti for the whole family and baking cupcakes from scratch.  I love the smell of the rain on a hot summer day and a cup of hot coco on a cold winter’s night.  I love squeezing afternoon naps in a busy schedule and love unwinding with my husband with popcorn and a great movie.  I enjoy good company as much as having a great conversation.  I enjoy a nice cold glass of beer after a long day.  I just enjoy simple things in life.

It all just began by taking photos of my two precious puppies, Comet and Choco.  Photography was always been a passion of mine, capturing anything and everything on the other side of my lens, be it still life, people, or cute furry animals.  I love capturing the emotions and spirits of those important moments in everyday life.

I am now serving Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. & Beyond!

Disney Concert Hall Lifestyle Portrait : Linda + Dan Sneak Peek



California… Friday.

I visited my dear friend out in LA, California and was able to spend a day to just visit some of California’s best places and treats.  I had 2 portrait sessions and a wedding to share so please stay tuned!!!

I finally got to try Sprinkles Cupcakes… they were absolute divine.

More to come.

Book : How To Win Friends & Influence People… and More.

Happy Monday guys!

I rarely read.  I tell myself all the time that I should be reading more and educate myself MORE.  People who read a lot seem to know so much more and to us non-readers, they seem so deep and sound like they have traveled a lot and far.  I tend to just flip through magazines and look at the images rather then the article itself.  Hey!  I’m a visual type of person ;)

So, one day I see that Kenny Kim has recommended this book on his facebook page.  The title “How To Win Friends & Influence People” already got me hooked!  I just wanted this book by my side asap!! Reading this book has already influenced me in a very positive way and made me chuckle more then couple of occasions.  Dale Carnegie is pretty funny!  I highly recommend this book to anyone who is wishing to change their ways for the better.  I’m reading this book so that it’ll help me through rough times and save me from few hiccups here and there with my clients and also get me out of trouble with other wedding vendors and other headaches, if you know what I mean :)

Past weekend I 2nd shot for Kate Triano at the beautiful Omni Shoreham Hotel.  I cannot wait to blog!  It was such a beautiful wedding!  I have many more exciting news that are coming up and I promise to share those with you in the near future!

Father and daughter moment right before the limousine came to pick them up.

I asked Christine if she was nervous and this is the reaction she gave me :)

So much deep emotion are shared in this moment… right before the father leads to give his precious daughter away.  They were making me cry!

One deep breath before giving his daughter away.

Lynn + Jacob | Wedding | Edith Warton’s Estate {Part I}

I love what I do.  Especially when I get to spend the day with the most charming and loving couples like Lynn and Jacob.  Although it was my first time meeting Lynn she was so genuine, welcoming, and so down to earth.  Girl!  You are totally fabulous! Jacob who totally compliments Lynn is also a very caring, thoughtful, and just downright cool.  But, before I go on with my side of the story I’d like to give a huge thanks to JUNSHIEN for allowing me to come shoot by him.  Thank you for inviting me to this one amazing and breathtaking wedding and for this one unforgettable chance to document such loving couple.  Thank you.  Now, I don’t usually split posts into sections but I just have SO MUCH to share!  Lynn and Jacob wed each other at The Mount Edith Warton’s Estate and Garden.  I really didn’t want to leave this place, yes, it was that stunning!

One seriously cute Save the Date card.

I love it how Lynn was enjoying this moment.  She is so fun and spontaneous!

I love how the groomsmen were cheering at Lynn.

See, I adore first looks.  It’s such a beautiful moment…


This is the reason why I think everyone should opt for first look.  It’s unforgettable.  It’s priceless.  I cried and my eyes will forever tear witnessing this beautiful moment.

Such a good looking couple!

I simply adore the image below… the feel, mood, so timeless…

My goodness… talk about cuteness overload!

Ohh I love me some pretty bouquet…

Part II – coming soon!

It’s good to work hard but sometimes you have got to force yourself to slowdown and completely unwind.

Roxanne + Fritz | Wedding | Pennsylvania

It has always been my dream to either attend or to photograph a vintage inspired wedding and through Jenn Link I was able to make that dream come true!  Thank you Jenn for this fantastic opportunity!  Roxanne and Fritz’s wedding was held at The Old Mill in Rose Valley Pennsylvania.  This venue was so beautiful and I just can’t believe all the bamboos they had in the garden.

Roxanne and Fritz, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your special day.  Watching you guys makes me smile because your love for each other is undivided and so devoted to one another.  Wishing you guys a fantastic journey together!
