Happy Birthday to My Amazing Wife!

May 17th, 2012: 1824 days ago, just outside of Tibet, I laid my eyes on something that would forever shift the course of my life.  Her name was Felicia and although it wasn’t exactly love at first sight (I believe she referred to me as a “crass American” to her friends online), after a few [...]

Friday Randomness

April 20th, 2012: Happy Friday everyone! As you may have noticed, I have been pretty quiet on the blogging front for the past week. It was a deliberate silence as I took time to unwind, finding joy and inspiration in other forms of photography. Tomorrow is our first wedding of the year and from there [...]

Family, Friends and the Pre-Busy

April 9th, 2012: It seems like in a blink of an eye, we’re already in April, and for Felicia and I, that means we are on the cusp of wedding season, where we will plunge into week after week of non-stop shooting & editing. In the past couple of weeks, we’ve deliberately made some room [...]

94 Year Old B-Day Parties and Yogaing for Charity

March 30th, 2012: Last weekend, Felicia again took up the challenge of the annual Free to Breathe “yogathon” of 108 Sun Salutations – each Sun Salute is a series of 12 poses, so that’s about 1,296 poses in about 2.5 hours – while I again, took up the challenge of walking around taking pictures while [...]

Marie + Huong – UCLA

March 23rd, 2012: Marie & Huong found us a few months ago through our listing at SoYoureEngayged, and when we met them on a Friday evening for their consultation, we hit it off immediately, talking about anything and everything under the sun. When we finally parted ways, I glanced at my watch while walking to [...]

My Favorite 10 Year Old

March 21st, 2012: Madalyn just turned 10, yeah like an entire decade. I’m surprised too… In our ongoing tradition of not giving gifts and instead taking our nieces on an adventure for their birthdays, Madalyn got out of school early and headed down to Santa Monica with us to check out one of the latest [...]

San Francisco + PCH

March 1st 2012: For the home stretch of our week on the road we headed over to San Francisco, or what some of the older Chinese call Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain).  It’s called Jiu Jin Shan because it was given that name by the Chinese who arrived during the gold rush searching for their [...]

Squirrel!

February 28th 2012: Remember that scene from Up where Karl and Russell meet the talking Doug the talking dog who immediately yells “SQUIRREL!”?   Well that’s how I started feeling when traveling around California with Felicia’s mother. For some reason Christina is absolutely fascinated by these little guys and anytime we came across one she [...]

Yosemite in the Snow

February 27th 2012: By Day Three of our California road trip, I’d put the chains on the car for Sequoia, taken them off to get back on the 99 to head to Yosemite, then had to put them back on to make our way into Yosemite Valley.  For any of you who have ever had [...]

Frozen Sequoia!

February 21st, 2012: So Felicia’s mom is in town and we have to entertain… What to do? We figured a grand road trip across California was the only way to go, what we didn’t figure on was that we would start off during the only big storm of the winter. We left Burbank early last [...]
