My 3 months old little Nicholas

My little Nicholas is now three months old and I decided to take another set of pictures for him. We're going to use those pictures to make a canvas and slideshow for the coming Red Egg & Ginger Party. Sam and I cranked up the heater, took off all his baby clothes and shoot shoot shoot. NicNic enjoyed the shooting (at least he didn't cry) and pictures turn out great.

Tummy time

I can't sit yet, Mama's hand was at my back

JoAnna & Scot Wedding, Auberge du Soleil

Auberge du Soleil, one of the most romantic venues to get married. JoAnna and Scot picked this resort to hold their lovely wedding and invited their 37 best friends to share the unforgetable moments. It was a rainy day and the sun came out about an hour before the ceremony, what a magic! Look at the pictures, all vendors did a perfect job - music, florist, cake, decorations, and more... Here I would like to thank to Traci from Napa Valley Cerebrations, she is a fabulous wedding coordinator, you make all the vendors lives easier and kept everything on time. Althought this is a small party, every guest in the party is their best friends and the true blessing and happiness though out the party. JoAnna and Scot headed to Hong Kong for their honeymoon, I hope they're having fun there.

WPPI 2008, Las Vegas

This is my forth year to WPPI, as last few years, it was held in Bally/Paris hotel in Las Vegas (finally we're going to hold it in MGM instead in next year!). I like to go to WPPI, check out new stuffs from tradeshow, buy new camera equipments, and of course hang out with friends and DRINKING! My new assistant Elley went there this year, she was such a good girl, she went to ALL platform classes and didn't go out at all. I felt really bad coz I only went to one class. In the last day of the show, I finally did something productive in the tradeshow. I bought some camera equipments and also ordered some sample albums. I ordered a new handcrafted Japanese album, can't wait to show it to my customers.

Norma & Matthew Wedding, Rincon Center, Yank Sing

Norma and Matthew got married this Saturaday at one of my favorite locations, San Francisco Rincon Center. The weather was beautiful in the city, and this newlywed enjoyed their first day of being together. Norma was beautiful with her wedding gown and Matthew looked very smart with his tux as well, they really showed love though out the whole wedding day. I captured many happy and romantic moments for them and here are some to share, enjoy! Oh, one more thing, the food in Yank Sing was awesome, Elley and I left with our full tummy, yummy!
