film images from san francisco

hello! wow. can time fly by any faster? i think time should walk. not fly. yes. that was corny. but i know you agree with me. :)

here are a few of the images i promised from our san francisco trip from way back. better late than never! sigh. i absolutely LOVE color. but a girl’s gotta have black and white sometimes. and even with bw film, it’s amazing how each frame is so colorful. film is just beautiful. :)

shot on canon a1, ilford bw, developed at richard photo lab.

i love the image below. it takes me back to when my sister and i would take our weekly, evening stroll with our dad down to thrifty’s for some ice cream.

sarah and her beautiful daughter, ellie. love that munchkin.

this is one of my favorite shots on film. ever. i hope ellie will treasure this photo of her mom. you look beautiful, sarah.

diva in the making. ;)

and i conclude with my beautiful sister.

Carol - awesome!!! did you know i fell in love with b&w photography in college and thought I would pursue it… but realized that i would never have a dark room? lol.

Let’s talk about…

welcome to another installment of ‘Let’s Talk About…’. after 3 years of being a loyal customer of sprint, i finally decided to get the iphone. in the beginning, i just couldn’t give up my sero plan w/ sprint. $39.00 for unlimited EVERYTHING. i mean EVERYTHING. text, data, mobile to mobile, nights starting at 7pm. so awesome, right? and i was hoping the iphone would come to sprint but they had to be all buddy buddy with at&t. so long story short, i finally got the iphone4 and drove straight to the mall to get a case and screen protector (i’m a cool nerd like that. ;)

and then 2 days later… i dropped it in the toilet. no joke.

my new phone. in the toilet. it was awesome.

i went to the apple store to see if they could swap out/fix the phone for me. i’m sure you all know, but at&t doesn’t offer insurance for the iphones. you can get ins through a 3rd party, but i opted out of it. cuz you know. what could possibly happen? i mean, i’ve paid for insurance my whole cell phone life and never had to use it. anyway, i’m at apple and the guy says it must be my display screen. i just nod and go with it… cuz i eventually know they’ll find out about the water damage. i’m sitting at the genius bar wondering if i really have to shell out more money for a new iphone when the guy comes back and says, ‘we have a little bit of a problem. we opened up the phone and there seems to be a lot of water in it.’ i just look up with major puppy dog eyes and nod my head up and down. the apple guys sits down next to me and says the best thing a girl could ever want to hear at an apple store: ‘i talked to my manager and we’ve decided to give you a new (refurb) one just this one time.’ o.m.g. i was so happy and relieved i gave him a super huge hug. i was SO thankful, you don’t even know.

so mad thanks to apple and the guy at apple that made my year. :) seriously.

and since every post needs a picture, here’s a sneak peak of a family session i shot last week. :)

Happy Tuesday!

Hannah Im - Pretty…… Too bad my baby has balding ahjusi hair…

cindee bae - can not believe you dropped your phone in the toilet! That’s what you get for not listening to me, hahahhaa!!! :)

that sneak peek is tdf! can’t wait to see the rest ms. connie!

Altadena Country Club Wedding

Yay! My first post of the year! :) Agnes + Simon were my last couple of 2010 and I couldn’t have asked for a bomb-er couple than them to end the season with. I had such an amazing time documenting their wedding, family and love! The day ran so smoothly and was filled with lots of laughter and good times. And did I mention Agnes + Simon raffled off an Ipad during their reception? Like I said. These 2 are bomb. :)

Agnes wrote me an email a couple of days before the wedding, worried about the weather since it was supposed to rain. But I promised Agnes I’d do my secret NO rain dance. And whaddya know? NO Rain.

Big thanks to Cindee and Eddie for shooting with me that day! Always a blast!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you enjoy the pics! Much love.

I LOVE how classic and timeless this ring shot is! Makes me heppy.

Agnes did such an AMAZING job designing her invites! And the invite doubles as a picture frame! I have such talented brides!

Her gorgeous dress.

My wonderful and beautiful bride! :) Thanks to Clara of Clara Kim Beauty for being so awesome!

LOVE this shot of Agnes!

Simon looking all dapper! :)

I love that Agnes + Simon opted to have the first look! It totally gave us more than enough time for portraits and family photos without feeling all rushed and stressed. And I am SO thrilled that all of my 2011 couples also have opted to have their first look as well!

This set just makes me say ‘aawwwwwww’. I love.

:)

So beautiful. :)

Gorgeous light!

My fave shot of the day!

Even after having the first look, seeing your future wife walk down the aisle will always be special.

And vice-versa.

Not only did God give us clear skies, he even made a little heart for Agnes + Simon with the clouds right above them during the ceremony. Do you see it? :)

LOVE these next 2 shots!

And I leave you with proof that the day was filled with laughter and love. :)

Victoria - Ahh, I love the picture with the heart cloud. What an adorable wedding!
