spent a beautiful day in san diego with jen and siu-ling! because we all live in LA now, we had so much fun returning to our old haunts from when we were uc san diego students–it made me feel young again. :) here we are running around between ucsd’s eucalyptus grove, torrey pines beach, the cliffs, and little italy, trying to catch every last drop of golden afternoon sunshine!












happy summer! i am on an editing frenzy. lots of new shoots to post. :)
it feels good to finally be getting back in the hang of things! sorry again for the long delay; the last month has been pretty crazy, and i just got back from chicago two days ago (pictures soon!). but i’m back on track and to prove it, here’s a sweet engagement shoot i did a few weeks back when i was up in san francisco.
annie, jim, and i had quite an adventure getting these photos! the weekend i was up north, it was pouring. from a cafe in berkeley, we debated whether we should go ahead with the shoot, but like the true troopers they are, jim and annie decided to forge ahead. :) and i’m soo glad we did! the entire way driving there we were chasing away massive thunderclouds, afraid to jinx the weather. and sure enough just as we arrived at crissy field, the rain stopped and the wind blew away the clouds covering the bridge. talk about perfect timing :)



it was pouring so hard we had to stop by walgreen’s to pick up these giant umbrellas… and the wind killed them about 5 minutes into the shoot. :P




they make it look easy but we were fighting some drizzling and freezing wind here!


this looks like broad daylight but it was probably about 7:45pm at this point! love that 50 1.2…


it didn’t take long for us hurry back inside. we warmed up at naan -n- curry… delicious! thanks you guys!!
i’m so excited to share these photos :) jen is a dear friend from college and i’m super looking forward to shooting her wedding next summer because it’ll be a big reunion for a lot of college friends! we went to tri-city park right in my neighborhood for this shoot and lucked out with the most amazing golden light. (thank you to jane who came out and shot with me and jon for the pretty lens!)





what do you do when you find a random shopping cart in a park? ride it down grassy hills, of course.



this was a hilarious moment when about 15 geese crossed the bridge single file towards a woman with food.

i LOVE this ring shot! all jen’s idea :)


p.s. new blog layout! i stayed up ALL night fixing it… yeah. i don’t miss those all-nighters.
yay, i’ve been on an editing spree! here is a little preview of today’s engagement session with jen + siu-ling. i’ll post the rest tomorrow. :) in other news… i am leaving for china in less than a week! must. go. pack.
