    High Tea

    Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

    Is there anything as luxurious as lingering over high tea with a good friend?

    I snapped a few shots today with my iPhone – nothing fancy. The tea and scones more than made up for my lack of SLR-ness.

    This brings me back to my favorite memory of my grandmother, at high tea at the Peninsula. I remember her as a wild child disguised in pearls. She taught me that the best lived-life is finding peace with contradiction: success is managing a series of failures. Wealth is giving generously and freely. A rebel can still be a lady.

    High tea is a rare reminder for me to slow down and remember the important things in life. I am so thankful for the wonderful people who encourage me and keep me grounded. And of course, girl friends to giggle with and savor the rare tranquil moment in an otherwise hectic life.

    A timeless love: Don + Nancy

    Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

    They remind me of classic Hollywood. Elegant and timeless. An abiding love and romance that lasts for a lifetime.

    He was tall, handsome and a baseball player. She was a good-lookin’ blond who he couldn’t keep his eyes off of, nor get out of his mind. They met one day at a ball game. It was the first she’d ever been to. “She was perfect” he told me. “Except this one annoying flaw: she couldn’t see we were meant to be together.”

    It took a while, but eventually Nancy came around. She saw that Don not only stood head and shoulders above others in stature, but also in character. And when she did, Don told himself he wasn’t going to let her go. And he hasn’t. Not for fifty years.

    Don and Nancy, I am so blown away by you two. I am a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. It is something wonderful to be around two people so obviously into each other, who know each other inside and out. It is a privilege and a blessing to see God’s faithfulness in your marriage. I am honored beyond words to photograph your fiftieth anniversary. It means so much to me. I hope you love these images as much as I do.

    Don reminds me so much of Cary Grant. There is something very debonair and strong about his expression in this image. Or maybe it’s because he’s got Nancy in his arms.


    I am so tickled by how gleeful you both look here. My favorite part of this shoot was seeing how much Don enjoyed cuddling up to his lovely wife :)






    Don and Nancy, thank you again for sharing your day with me. It has been pure delight getting to know you both and photographing your love. Happy anniversary!!

    The Fu Family Slideshow

    Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

    I had the pleasure of photographing the Fu family in Hong Kong recently, and it was a blast. The girls decided to do something different for their mom’s birthday by giving her this photo session. There are few ways to celebrate the life of a mother, than to create amazing images together. But hey, that’s me.. :)

    I’ve put together a slideshow of their images below. Enjoy!

    Sneak peek: Fu Family Portraits

    Monday, August 3rd, 2009

    (Warning: if seeing images of awesomely gorgeous girls with perfect skin, hair and figures really annoys or makes you ludicrously jealous, you might not want to scroll down.)

    Girls just wanna have fun!

    I had an absolute blast shooting the Fu family yesterday. The girls were amazing and braved the heat and humidity of Hong Kong in August, and we shot in one of my favorite locations in the city.

    This shoot was really special not only because it’s been weeks in the making, but because it’s the girls’ birthday present to their mom, Ruby. I can think of no other way to celebrate a mother’s birthday than by creating awesome images that I hope will grow to become part of your family’s visual heirlooms.

    Ladies, thank you for the privellege of capturing your family. I hope you guys enjoy your preview!

    Catherine is one of those types that looks like a model without trying. I love the processing on this.. a real classic beauty.
