Maternity and Baby Photography | Our Home in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles | A New Addition to the Family

February 7, 2010 | filed under others  

Although we were already in photography when Isabella was born, we realized that we didn’t get any formal and stylized photo of her. An oversight, that we vowed not do again. It was always in the back of our minds, but we didn’t do the maternity photos up until two days before Carla’s scheduled csection.

As for the newborn shoot, our target was to do it on his 2nd week so we can capture him sleeping in a fetal position. Jacob was almost on his third week when he took his photo, he was showing signs of slowly stretching out of it. The exercise, turned out harder than I imagined. You really need a lot of patience and I guess the skill to know a newborn’s temperament. A task that I couldn’t imagine doing again. I now have nothing but sincere admiration for photographers who do this for a living.

And yes, Jacob kept us busy the latter part of last year. We kinda went on a short hiatus. Now we have adjusted and with a renewed fervor to shoot weddings.

Looking back, I’m glad we did what we did for Jacob. We know he’s gonna treasure them when he grows as old as we are now.

PS. I did another newborn shoot for one of Carla’s friend. Armed with our previous experience, it was easier, but still arduous. Plus the fact we had two more people helping me compared our husband & wife tandem when we were photographing Jacob.

Embassy Suites Downey | Clark Estate Santa Fe Wedding: Brandon + Sophia

October 15, 2009 | filed under weddings  

Clark Estate, as an all-in-one venue, is simply awesome. I used to live near the city of Santa Fe and I didn’t even know it existed. The white walls and shape of the building, the outdoor reception, the cool weather, and the clear blue California sky made me feel as if I was in Santorini, Greece. Brandon and Sophia were exquisitely thorough, I wasn’t surprised they found this gem of a venue. A beautiful and enjoyable wedding we are privileged to be a part of. Congratulations you guys!

Thanks to Rodney for second shooting!

St Bridget of Sweden Van Nuys | Sheraton Universal Hollywood Wedding: Israel + Jindra

July 31, 2009 | filed under weddings  

Israel and Jindra, who wouldn’t love ‘em, easy going – no drama. They were married in Las Vegas but it is fascinating to know that a recent string of events (both good and bad) inspired them to strengthen their bond through a Catholic marriage.

My thanks to Rodney Singzon for second shooting.

The Grand Long Beach Event Center | Marriott Long Beach Wedding: Dan + Jisun

June 22, 2009 | filed under weddings  

Finally we stood as witness to Dan & Jisun’s wedding. Jisun has a keen eye for detail. Everything went so smoothly, I couldn’t have it done better. It wasn’t so much of a surprise as I was witness to how she coordinated and prepared before the event. Dan is always amazingly cool, never rattled, always composed. A perfect pair.

My thanks to Rodney for second shooting.

    Hey Vince,

    The photos came out great! You truly captured the moment. I had a great time. What do you do for post processing?

    Hi Steve, thank you so much! Most of my post processing is done in Lightroom. If I feel I need to tweak a little further then I go to Photoshop.

    Nice set of pics. I like the high key feel to No’s 3 and 4. Your client has a lovely record of their day.
