Alyson • Johnny: eSession

07.27.2008 | Palace of Fine Arts, Presidio, Pier 1, SAN FRANCISCO

I had my first eSession in city of San Francisco yesterday. Thanks to both Alyson and Johnny for making this happens for me! Alyson, Yuri, and me left my galleries in Arcadia at 5:30am, straight to pick up Johnny in San Jose.

My make up artist, Yuri did the make up for Alyson at Johnny's apartment and then we are heading to San Francisco. First stop, Palace of Fine Arts, the rotunda area is currently under renovation. We spent a good 30 minutes there. Then, we found some abandoned building area in Presidio, I love abandoned buildings! More clicks2x there. Then we are heading to Baker Beach, but ouchhh..., the famous San Francisco's FOG greeted us there! Couldn't see the Golden Gate Bridge, then we are heading to the Pier 1. We finished the session about 7:00pm, and then all of us had a dinner and also my favourite's bobba tea at Clement Street! Heading back to San Jose to drop Johnny and straight back to my galleries in Arcadia. It was 4:30am when we finally arrived. I had a blast time.

Fashion Photo Session: Carolyn and Yuri

07.20.2008 | Otis, LOS ANGELES

Today, I'm helping my makeup artist, Yuri creating samples portfolio for her makeup works. She's a very talented makeup artist and I've been working with her for few of my brides' client in the last 8 months. We are using photo studio facilities at Otis College of Art and Design. Two of our female models cancelled on us, so I asked Yuri to be the 2nd model. Yuri did the makeup and hair design for Carolyn and herself. Carolyn is very sweet to work with and she's graciously beautiful to photograph.

Fonnita • Vito: eSession

07.12.2008 | Balboa Park, SAN DIEGO

"Why are we doing the eSession in San Diego?" I asked this question to both Vito and Fonnita, when we were driving to San Diego from my galleries in Arcadia. Both Vito and me shared same passion for the city, one thing in common: Phil's BBQ! We had agreed when we planned the eSession, we are heading to Phil's BBQ after the photo shoot! Well, it turns out that, Phil's BBQ was the place where Vito and Fonnita went for their 1st date! Wow. 2 hours trip to Phil's BBQ from Los Angeles area, and it's the couple's first date's place, :)

We went straight to Balboa Park, then Gaslamp area, but we were so hungry and didn't really spend too much time in Gaslamp area. I'm supposed to photograph them at Phil's BBQ, had an idea of the couple holding the ribs and kissing! But when the hot ribs finally arrived on our table, the next thing I remember, we were driving out from Phil's BBQ parking lot with full stomach, and ouch... I forgot to photograph the couple! I was a bad photographer! Congrats to both of you! Can't wait to your wedding day. We are not having Phil's BBQ on your wedding day rite guys? :)
