FRESHNESS. Regan tells us that we just have to tell her what to do coz she has no idea how to pose. So we were thinking of different poses that we could ask her to do. And all of those flew out the door once we saw her. She is a breath of fresh air to look at. Beautiful, young, FRESH ! Her photos remind you of perfume ads coz she is so gorgeous and so bright to look at. Yeah, makes you want to smell her. haha! But the best part of it all really is that we didn’t have to pose her. She was a natural in front of the cameras and it shows. Gorgeous smile and bright shining future 
We wish you all the best Regan !

“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth”. It’s not just the photos when you are young, it’s the images that depict that easy camaraderie that develops when 2 people have been together for the longest time that fills your heart . And after 4 children and several grandchildren, we cannot be more happier to see Dan and Lilian renew their vows of marriage again. It’s when you see her find that special nook by his neck and his gentle smile as he gazes on her that makes all these images breathtaking. Coz yes, it screams of enduring love and there’s nothing more beautiful than that.
Enjoy !
And of course, Lilian as she absolutely is in person — vivacious, crazy and downright funny !
Looking forward to your renewal of vows God bless you guys!

Clyde and Stef’s shoot in downtown NYC topped our list of the most challenging engagement shoot ever! haha We love our clients and we want the best for them and although they actually loved the photos from the first shoot, we thought that they deserve a second one. Hoping it will be less windy and it would be nice if we won’t freeze ourselves to death as well. It’s not too much to ask, is it?
Well, we finally figured out a date that would work and we decided to do a quick shoot at the famous Brooklyn Bridge. It was a lovely day, thus the herd of people on the bridge which made it quite challenging on some occasions. We don’t own the bridge so we have to work around it. haha Okay, I sound really grumpy right now so I am gonna stop complaining and let you enjoy the photos. So here you go.
See you in May! We can’t wait to photograph your wedding!

With blogs, I wait for something to come to me, words that a poet might use to illuminate these images taken by our cameras. But usually, there is nothing. I aspire to someday become a master of eloquence that would make our blog come to life. But for the most part, our blog would have to be defined by the shutter speeds, lighting and apertures of our images. HAHA! We are neither poets nor writers but we always try to express how we felt with each of our photo shoot.
I feel my throat tighten as I watched him reach for his father’s hand as they strolled down the sidewalk, as I see her wrap her arms around Karmel’s waist. In my mind, I should have had 3 children as well. And as I wait for my turn to come, I live vicariously through the love and the joy that these parents feel for their children. Oh yeah, THEN. hihi! Thank God, our little Inigo has come and there are absolutely no words to express how thankful I am to God for each time I see and hold my baby. Yeah, absolutely giddy
It was a beautiful day for a photo shoot. And shooting in downtown Salt Lake is always a treat. It’s like a box of chocolates, you’ll never know what you’re gonna get. We just know, it would always be delish. The sun is shining through and the Harpers are the perfect example of what we recommend that families wear. Look at how Karmel’s sweater ties all the colors together. Even the scarves or the hair accessories. It just gives each one the liberty to be who they are and not to dress up like each other. After all, we all are unique with our own swags
We hope you enjoy the photos as much we love them
Absolutely yummiest light. Perfect for a sweet, loving couple

Clyde is dashing. But Stef ? She is drop dead gorgeous! It’s not every woman who can get away with the most windiest day ever for a photo shoot and still look absolutely fab. And dear friends, it was the windiest day of our photography life. We have shot in the heat, in the snow, in the rain, in the dark, in the brightest of brightest days but windy days? Now, good luck ! It was the most challenging ever yet that we have encountered. We can’t escape that howling wind. And the chill? OK, it’s just downright brutal. Next time that we get a high wind warning, we are definitely heeding it. We are backing out. haha!
We find ourselves in the financial district of New York as Clyde tells us that that’s where he and Stef first dated. Love the cobbled street but it’s amazing how quiet it was on a Saturday. Totally different if you swing by the area on a weekday. But anyways, we hope that you enjoy these photos because another set would be coming up. And yes, less wind !

After months of planning a trip back to BC… it finally happened! We didn’t get the best weather but hey, it’s winter and it’s Vancouver haha. Greg and I were roommates here in SLC before he moved out to Canada to be with his now fiancee, Lisa. They were just dating then and a few years later.. here they are, happily engaged and soon to be a happily married couple!
I’ve always enjoyed visiting Vancouver and this time around is no different. Although it was gloomy and the light was pretty flat, we made it work and had a great time catching up and taking photos at the same time. One of Greg’s roommates, Hakan, joined us to assist with the shoot and he definitely made my work a lot easier. Thanks, Hakan!
So here you go! Enjoy!

It has been soooo long since we did a location shoot. Not because we didn’t want to but because we couldn’t. After all, it ain’t that easy to lug around my 25 lb (at the least!) bag plus the huge belly that was Inigo. Ritchie always end up carrying all my gear plus his. Thank God he is strong. I swear being a photographer doesn’t just entail you to be artistic, you gotta be strong! Yes, you ladies ! You gotta work your back or those lenses will definitely break it.
But finally, I have given birth and I could start travelling again for photo sessions And New York, no less, makes me a very happy camper. They say if you make it in New York, you could make it anywhere. Could it be the same with love ? If your love makes it through all the hustle and the bustle of the city and the fire still burns strong in your hearts for each other, could it last forever ? Well, we definitely hope so. We wish Chris and Stacie our best wishes as they tie the knot into forever.
The wind has died down from yesterday and we are afforded a glorious day for an engagement shoot right in the heart of downtown New York. We love the fact that Chris stays right in front of the Empire State Building but bummed out when we saw that the doors to the patio of his building was locked for the day. Nevertheless, we ended up loving the never ending kaleidoscope of colors that New York is famous for. Photos are up !

If I could just hold the time in my hands, maybe I would make it twice slower. How our little one has grown ! From teeny weeny to this and that’s only in 6 months! I already miss the thousand things that he was when he was still tiny. But I can’t seem to exchange how he is now either. He truly is my bundle of joy. So this morning, I woke up with a mission. Take photos of my baby before this instance flies by me. When looking through his closet. I have finally decided to go with Jacadi Paris. I seem to draw my inspiration from what my eyes feast on in stores that I love to shop from. And so zGallerie becomes the clear winner this time. Here’s an image from their galleries
LEMON and GREY. How i love that combination! And with Jacadi just giving that extra posh, that extra oomph of a look, I knew it’s one that would perfectly complement Inigo’s big eyes and this color scheme. He’s at a stage where he loves to put everything in his mouth, literally everything. And it’s a huge plus that he loves to eat (just like his mama! haha) ! He sallivates over steaks and chicken and breads and carrots. OH, of all his favorite things, I cannot pick one. But even before his love to eat came to life, his wonderment of all things around him came to him first. He loves to pick up everything he could pick his hands on, especially, of course, hair that grows ! HAHA! So it’s not any surprise that that the velvety feel of Jacadi made me love it even more for him.
Allrighty then, for those of you mamas that wanna shop here and do not live anywhere near any of their stores, you can always shop online http://www.jacadi.us/ And remember, they also have a nursery store !
BLUE. You could drown in those big blue eyes. And having just finished reading Kite Runner, I could say my fave line from the book, “For you, a thousand times over!”. Ethan is a month old and could raise his head and turn and look into our lenses with his beautiful eyes. At times, I get so confused on whether I want newborns to be sleeping so they could be pliable in whatever position or awake so we could see those gorgeous eyes. Thank God, the choice is taken away from us coz Jennifer, his mom wanted to see those eyes as well.
We went over to their home in Draper to take these newborn photos and beautiful light just floods all over their home. It was gorgeous. Here are some that we took …
Itsy bitsy toes scream CUDDLES!!!
And their coverlet proved to be the perfect backdrop for little Ethan. Love this image …
And then of course, a few photos with his family …
One more of Ethan but surely not the least… my fave!
And like any mom, I think the most important of all is that we see that the children are loved. And yes, Ethan is definitely LOVED.

What a beautiful family ! The Ormsbys. Ritchie is still in Africa and I had the most difficult time choosing which photos to put here in the blog. There are so many darling photos to choose from and I’m sure Ritchie would be shocked if he finds out that I have put all their photos here in our blog. I’m almost tempted to. HAHA! I would have posted this blog sooner if not for going back and forth on which photos to post. Anyways, this is the first shoot that I have done since I have given birth and I couldn’t have asked for a more sunnier day. Fields were covered with wildflowers mimicking like sunflowers and the sky was bursting with puffy clouds almost like marshmallow. Thank God we are conveniently located here in Utah where we can virtually be anywhere in the state and we can still have the breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range mountains and I could be home in minutes.
So imagine no more, meet Nathan, Jen, Marlee, Noah, Van and Tama. And yes, Noah and Van are tweenies and they are the most adorable ones! So cute and adorably sweet
This is Marlee. Yes, please, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR ! 8 years old but our cameras loved her. She can absolutely be a model, I know
OK guys, please don’t swoon! We know, they’re so sweet to each other. Noah and Van …
Last but not the least, Tama! We can play “Catch me if you can” all day long and we would never get tired of it. He’s tooooooooo cute!!!!!
This last one was requested by them, to have an image of all their feet together
Nathan and Jen, thanks for having us. We had a blast!
