Thao and Peter's engagement

When Thao and Peter asked if we could take some photos up at Oklahoma City SkyDance Bridge, I wanted to know why they chose this location. After Thao briefly shared their story with me, I agreed the bridge was the best site to photograph their engagement session.

On the way driving Thao home after their first date, they stopped by Oklahoma City SkyDance Bridge to go for a walk. Thao and Peter have been together since, now they are getting ready to share their life together.

I can't write enough good words about this couple. Thao and Peter are very nice people and extremely fun to work with. I'm honored to photograph their love story. Congratulations Thao and Peter on taking this exciting step together! Wish them all the very best to make their relationship a great bond.

I also want to say a huge thank you to make-up artist Anh Dang for doing such a wonderful job.

Ann

Ann and I have been good friends for years. We had recently worked together on a few lifestyle sessions. Ann is a very talented hair and makeup artist. Before moving to California to pursue her career, Ann called me up to do her lifestyle pictures. She wanted to keep memories of her youth and the city she had been with for over 8 years.

We walked around the city, had a couple of drinks, laughed, had fun, took some photos, and grabbed a bite to eat afterward. It was great spending time and I am honored to take some photos of my friend. Good luck to Ann on her career in California. Thank you Ann for everything and for allowing me to capture these moments!

Solar

Solar is such a sweet and nice young lady. She wanted to have a retro touch to her lifestyle session. Therefore, we had her hair, makeup, and outfits done with a 60s vibe. I love shooting senior sessions. It is amazing to capture the youth and life of a young adult about to move on to the next chapter of their life.

Special thanks to make-up artist Anh Dang for doing such a wonderful job.

Logan and Emma

Father's Day was coming up and Erika texted me to schedule a lifestyle session for her children in their dad's golf and work clothes. She wanted to make these photos of them for a collage to give to her husband as a gift on Father's Day. What a lovely and meaningful gift!

We went to the park, played around with the kids, and got some candid photos of them. Everything had to be done discretely, without their dad knowing since it was a surprise.

Memories about your children which are captured into photos are always a priceless gift.

Averynn - one year old

 

Once again, I have a chance to photograph baby Averynn. It is so amazing to see how fast she has grown. I met and photographed Averynn first time when she was a newborn. The second time was when Averynn 10 months. She is ONE this time, and could walk her very first toddler steps. 

Averynn enjoyed her first birthday cake very much, and had so much fun with her first time playing at the pool. It took me a while to make friend with her again this time. She is a smart baby girl. I love how she interacted with me during this session. I put the camera down when we took a little break during the session. Averynn would wander around the camera, and started playing with it. She would not forget to give me a very sweet smile before playing with my camera. It was so cute of her. Thank you Lynn and Tri Nguyen again for having me do this.

Averynn - 10 months

I had a lifestyle session done few months ago with Averynn when she was 3 months old. Lynn, Averynn's mom, recently called me up and said Averynn was 10 months now, and she wanted to do another lifestyle session for Averynn.

Lynn said Averynn could sit up now and she would look pretty in dresses, so Lynn wanted these memories to be documented. In addition, Averynn's grammy's birthday was coming up very soon. Lynn wanted to make photobook of Averynn to give to her mom as a birthday gift. What a lovely thought! Averynn is the first grand kid in both of her parents' sides, so capturing these moments meant so much to them.

I'm truly honored to witness and photograph how Averynn has grown. Thank you Lynn and Tri Nguyen so much for having me do this.

Holli

You would not believe Holli is the mother of two and her oldest child is 20. I was amazed how beautiful and young Holli looked when we first met. I met Holli when I photographed her daughter, Solar this year.

So, I was thrilled when Holli called me up to do lifestyle session for her. She had her heart set on Norman, so we walked around, took some photos, and she nailed it!
