Portrait: Lindsay
December 20th, 2012
Portrait: Lindsay [Black & White]
November 7th, 2012
I met Lindsay through my good photographer friend Sabawa. I meant to do a high school senior photo session of Lindsay, but it was too late. She just graduated.
Fortunately, she still wanted to do the session anyway.
The photos in this set are all in black and white, because it seems to fit the mood, the shadows, and the light.
Portrait: Brittany
May 22nd, 2012
Brittany is Sierra’s oldest sister. If you haven’t seen Sierra’s high school senior portrait session, check it out!
Brittany is the lead singer and the keyboardist/pianist of the cool contemporary Christian music band, Beyond the Veil. Check out their Facebook page, then show your love and Like the page.
This session was done together with Sierra’s. So you would see some pictures below where Brittany and Sierra was posing and playing together.
Brittany also brought her dog, Misha, a Siberian Husky.
Misha also has a Facebook Page! Check it out!
Children: Helena + Vivian
March 29th, 2012
I just love it when I get repeat customers, because it means that they love my work and service.
Helena and Vivian’s mother have been using my service for candid children and family lifestyle portraiture three times since 2009. Check out the previous children portrait session at Maryland Eastern Shore from a few years back and also the family reunion and birthday party lifestyle photography also at Maryland Eastern Shore. You can see how much these girls have grown since then.
Workshop with Cliff Mautner
May 24th, 2011
For you who don’t know, Cliff Mautner is a highly regarded photographer and educator. He was named one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world by American PHOTO magazine.
However, the main reason that I took his 3-day workshop was because he was able to create beautiful photos even during the the most difficult lighting conditions. I wanted to be able to see the light the way he does. I was so glad that I took the workshop. The tuition may be expensive to some, but it was worth every penny to me. Some including myself agreed that what we gained from the workshop was worth much much more than what Cliff charged us!
Cliff not only taught the class about lighting in difficult situation, but also about lens selections, marketing, business, and workflow to name a few. We even got to see a live real potential-client meeting who was considering in hiring Cliff for their upcoming wedding! Cliff was like an open book and generously shares his wealthy knowledge that he gained from his almost 30 years of photography career. The only thing he asked us was that we shouldn’t share these information to others who have not been to his workshop. So don’t even think about asking how I did this and that on any of these images. 
Family and Maternity: Riggins Family
August 25th, 2010
The Riggins family would be the first family in my neighborhood or even my community that asked me to have their family portrait done professionally. They’re also the first family to ask me to do a maternity session. I’m happy and honored that they trusted me to do this.
So here are some of my favorite images from the session we did at Kent Island, Maryland.
Workshop with Don Giannatti
June 17th, 2010
I actually found Don Giannatti’s workshop site by accident. I was trying to find a certain lighting technique and was pointed to his site by Google. I read about his workshop and became interested. I had been to few lighting workshops/seminars but Don’s was more in-depth, two-days, and priced reasonably. Not to mention that there was one workshop that was nearby, Baltimore.
I found out later that the one in Baltimore was the advanced workshop. I could still do it, but I really wanted to learn about the different strobes and modifiers, and how they would affect the lighting quality. Fortunately, Don was kind enough to give me and few others a “catch-up” session the day before. So it was more like a three-day workshop for me.
Here’s one image I took on the last day. We used 5 speedlights on this setup.
Children: Helena + Vivian
May 11th, 2010
I got a last minute call from a family whom I photographed the past summer (same year). They wanted me to do another session on Tilghman Island, but just the children this time. They wanted the pictures for Christmas.
Unfortunately, they could only do it on the same day where I already had two sessions! However, the first session with Adele the book writer, was very early in the morning, and the engagement session would be late in the afternoon. So I was able to squeeze in another session for that day later in the morning, which works pretty well for all of us.
Commercial Work: Adele
May 6th, 2010
OK. After going off the beaten path of trying to post in chronological order by posting recent works, now I’m back on track continuing from where I left off, the family portrait session from last November.
Only about a month after I did my commercial work for the Crazy Chick Salon, I got a call from Adele. She was referred to me by Becky, the owner of the salon. Adele said that I was highly recommended. That made me smile from ear to ear.
Adele wanted a few portraits of her in a natural setting, not studio, for her Web site and her book “The Legend of the Seahawk”. She wanted to have the images as soon as possible. We had agreed to a shoot date. However, because of the weather, it had to be postponed to another date in November. I already had another client on that day for an engagement session. Fortunately, it was in the afternoon. So I was able to do the session with Adele very early in the morning to get the morning sunlight.
Here are some of my favorite images.
High School Senior: Marissa
April 15th, 2010
This is my first full session of high school senior portrait. Well sort of…
Marissa supposed to graduate this year along with her other classmates. However, she graduated a year early, and is now in college. Way to go Marissa!
Nevertheless, she wanted to do this senior photo session anyway. I’m honored to have her as my first.
I knew Marissa through Facebook through other friends, and she is one of the most nicest/politest person in FB. I think Marissa is a beautiful person not only on the outside, but also inside.
