KICS Special Characters Day, The Parade

Posted November 18, 2008 to children , event , lifestyle photography , portrait , school by: .

Kent Island Christian School doesn’t really celebrate Halloween. Therefore, they designate the day as Special Characters Day. Children cannot wear monster (scary) costumes, villains, and rock stars. Historical character, good guys, and biblical characters are allowed. Last year, it used to be limited to just biblical characters.

I’m starting to use the “read more” feature for the blog since there are so many photos I want to share, especially on this one. I’ll let you decide whether you want to see the rest of the photos or not. 🙂 Another benefit of using the feature is that readers can browse through and find a particular post quickly without having have to go through all the photos.

Anyway, here are the children getting ready to do the parade around the school ground.

Birthday: Erin+Sean, Part 1

Posted November 13, 2008 to birthday , children , event , family , lifestyle photography by: .

When Mary asked me to be the photographer for Erin and Sean’s birthday last month, I was so excited. I loved taking pictures of children birthdays. I sure enjoyed capturing their happiness, laughter, and all their expressions.

I am on the newspaper! :D

Posted November 7, 2008 to portrait , public media by: .

That’s right. I was featured in the October 15, 2008, Update Newspaper. The article was the feature of the week’s “It’s Your Business” section. 🙂

Update is a local weekly newspaper serving Stevensville, Chester, Grasonville, Queenstown, Centreville, Wye Mills, Church Hill, and Sudlersville, all in Queen Anne’s County, Eastern Shore, Maryland.

I was interviewed the week before the print, by Sandra Zunino. The interview lasted for about an hour, but we were pretty relaxed. I even showed Sandra some sample of my albums. You will see below how well she summarized my story.

Here is the exact article copy from the newspaper. Copied with permission.

The Girl Next Door, Hannah

Posted November 6, 2008 to lifestyle photography , portrait by: .

When my neighbor was renovating their house, one of the contractor guy brought along his dog, a female siberian husky. Her name was Hannah. She was an energetic dog yet friendly. She was very strong also. Her owner, Gary said that he always had to hold her leash really strong because she could really pull you. No wonder they were used for sled dogs. 🙂

Gary, allowed me to pet her and take her pictures. Fortunately, she was not camera shy at all. Believe it or not, there were some dogs that were camera shy or most probably feel awkward having a camera “stared” at them. 🙂

Posted November 5, 2008 to wedding by: .

Phew… I have been so busy these past few days. I’m a little lagging on my blog since the past few weeks I’ve been trying to catch up to the most recent events. Still, not bad at all compared to few weeks ago.

Anyway, here’s the last part of Jeanne and Jeff’s wedding. These are the images from the bride and groom private photo session and the reception.

Wedding: Jeanne+Jeff, Part 1

Posted October 31, 2008 to wedding by: .

Jeanne and Jeff were the first couple that were not referred by anyone. My past clients has been from referrals. They search for “Eastern Shore weddings in Maryland”, and they found me! They liked my photography style and hired me to do their wedding as soon as we talked on the phone.

The wedding was in Easton, this October. It was a casual and intimate event. I really enjoyed being there.

I want to share so many pictures, so I will break it up into two parts.

    Congratulation Jacqueline and Bram!
    Wishing you love, luck, health, wealth and everlasting happiness.

    It was a pleasure to work with Leo Dj,
    He is an amazing photographer, extremely professional and detailed. I have seen many wedding pictures but these pictures are just so beautiful and modern. His artistic abilities and patience helps him capture the unique moments.

    I will refer Leo to all clients and I hope to work with him soon.

Wedding: Jacqueline+Bram, Bride & Groom Session

Posted October 27, 2008 to wedding by: .

Since Jacqueline and Bram had a very full schedule during the big day, a private bride and groom photo session was not possible. So we did an agreement to do the private B&G session on a separate day, before the wedding day.

We did the session at Washington DC in the Mall area including the Smithsonians. The session was fun and relaxing. We also had Jacqueline’s sister Monique to help us. Monique helped me carry some stuff and hold reflector and flash for me. She also gave some pose ideas. Thank you so much, Monique! 😀

At the end of the session we were all tired, but we were all satisfied.
