Sophia: First Birthday

May 15, 2010 – 12:37 am

Sophia turned one at 8:40 pm today. She’ll celebrate her first birthday tomorrow with a small group of family and friends. Below are the first photographs of my one year old daughter.

It’s difficult to believe how fast the days have passed. Just one year ago, I was anxiously standing in the hallway immediately outside the OR. The Doctor said he would call for me when Sophia is born. I heard a cry and then another and rushed in to see the nurses cleaning my daughter. I checked to make sure Cindy was okay then returned to take the very first photographs of Sophia barely minutes old.  Sophia is now one. She can stand and take small steps. She has a small set of vocabulary and can say mamma, grandma, bird,  flower,  food, and a few others in Chinese. She comprehends a lot more than she can vocalize at the moment. She even clenches both her fists and throws a tantrum! My, how time flies.

Huntington Library Engagement: Catherine & James

May 3, 2010 – 11:24 pm

Catherine and James held their engagement session at the Huntington Library this past weekend. I arrived a bit early before our scheduled meeting time and sat around people watching. There was a group of young girl scouts posing in front of the Library. They were the cutest little girls I ever saw.  I looked off into the distant and noticed a hot and well-dressed couple walking hand in hand towards the entrance.  I was so hoping that this couple was Catherine and James. As the two approached,  the gentlemen waved his hands toward me and I was elated to discover that the hot couple was them!

The weather was gorgeous that day and the temperature was in the mid-70s. Catherine and James were so easy to work with. The two need very little direction for poses. We ended the session with many hot photographs.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in September at the Mission 261

Sophia: Baby Hello Kitty sunglasses

April 13, 2010 – 10:43 pm

I spent the most of the day processing photographs and stumbled upon some images I captured of Sophia from 2 weeks ago. Grandma and Mommy had some fun with Sophia.
