My New 17in MacBook Pro

Mac? PC? Mac? PC? I ended up with a 17in MacBook Pro after many discussions with different friends. Mac won this battle because of its stylish design, crispy sharp vivid screen, reliable and fast performance, and the most important - I don't have to do Ctrl-Alt-Del everyday. I've been using this MacBook for a week and I feel I'm an computer idiot because I'm confused with the fn/control/alt/option/command keys... Command-C vs Ctrl-C, then what is the control key? What are the differences between control/option/alt....aaahhhhh!!! Although these keys are driving crazy, I still love my new MacBook!!!


Tyler Baby Portrait | Pier 39 San Francisco

1 year old Tyler is an adorable baby, Blenda and Martin decided to have his baby portrait in Pier 39 because they loved the cityscape of San Francisco. As usual, Pier 39 was full of tourists from different countries and they loved to watch me shooting with my big lens. So, I decided to go the quiet side of the pier and all images turned out fabulous. We also snapped few shots on the carousel, Tyler was little scared in the beginning but he ended up with fun. I love to see Tyler in front of my camera again and I'm sure he will be running around in the next photo session.

Emily & Ralf Engagement | Stanford University | Palo Alto Downtown

Emily and Ralf are well prepared to tie the knots at Testarossa Winery in a month. Before their big day, we went to Stanford University to practice their smiles during the engagement session. Ralf knew all the good spots in the campus and we headed to downtown Palo Alto for some causal "coffee shop" pictures. I enjoyed the morning with this couple and can't wait to see them again on the wedding day. Congratulations!

Michelle & Collin Wedding | Blackhawk Country Club

Michelle and Collin tied their knots at Blackhawk Country Club, where is one of the famous wedding venues in the east bay. I shot this wedding with my best friend photographer Chung Li again and also worked with several vendor friends such as Beverly from Especially Yours Chair Covers and Laura from Poppy's Petalworks. I love the details of this wedding, from the chair covers to the flowers, and the cup cakes to the center pieces, they were unique and elegant.
