portrait | dahae + erik

They say that when our bodies change from lifetime to lifetime, our eyes stay the same and you can recognize someone from a previous lifetime in this manner.

Dahae is one of these individuals whom this connection was sparked.
She was a bridesmaid for her friend, Michelle’s, wedding, whom we had shot a few years back in San Francisco. She went out of her way to offer a helping hand the entire day while sharing her hopes of one day meeting the man of her dreams.

***

Well… she recently found the man of her dreams and is happily married.
She met Erik in Sweden and it’s quite fateful that their passion and work in music led them to each other. They tied the knot twice, once in Sweden and then in Korea.
It’s funny because we think it is again fateful that work brought them both out to San Francisco again so that we could catch up with her and her new hubbie, Erik.

She’s a talent and good people.
Emily, actress and singer, delighted us by gracing our sights and lenses with her care-free allure recently 😉
We’ve got nothing but love and smiles for her.

“I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle”
-Vincent Van Gogh

portrait | noah

There isn’t much difference from Noah’s onstage persona and his offstage one. Noah is very down to earth, simple and a gentleman in the making.  It was wonderful to get some one-on-one camera time with a very talented young actor like Noah. Most may have seen him on “My Name is Earl” as young Earl and Nickelodeon’s movie, “Swindle”.

portrait | natalie + john

We had the pleasure of traveling with Natalie and John to capture some photos of them together in Paris. Both of them are very talented chefs, who met in culinary school. Their trip to Paris was an anniversary gift to themselves. It was such a delightful time getting to wine, dine and deeply converse about life with them. C’est la vie!

I once overheard a kid say to his dad, “Dad, some people just don’t life good.”

I’m not sure of the context, but I remember thinking how messed up the world must be if a toddler can recognize that people aren’t making the best choices in their lives.

We hope that all the babies out there never come to this realization and just grow up blissfully happy.

Everyone loves a giggly baby, take Atlas’ lead for instance, “I’m a bit sleepy, but hey, here’s my cheesy smile for you camera. Can I nap now?”  a3 a4 a5 a6
