we won!

yeah!! we are so excited! we placed fifth in good light category in wpja.com spring 2006 contest world wide! check out the judge comment:

It’s the hands. They make this photograph work. The idea is a nice one. The photographer handled background and framing and made a good print of the photo. All that let those hands come forth. Very nice seeing.
A fun composition, with an almost Picasso-esque sense of abstraction.

jen + mike engaged

whew! we did another session today with Jen & Mike who's getting married within 2 weeks! the afternoon was raining and cloudy, but it cleared up and sun appeared!
Thank God!

ahhh... sunset

see you soon at the wedding! ^_^

angela + john engaged

we finally got together and did an e-session with angela & john! ^_^ since angela lives out of town it is very hard to find a perfect time to meet, and we had to reschedule, but we finally did it! I enjoyed capturing their moments as they are just natural and full of expressions.

kristen + jimmy engaged

it was a beautiful sunday evening with vibrant sunset. we had beautiful light and great spots at the botanical garden, where jimmy proposed to kristen ^_^
