I’m back! now booking Summer and Fall sessions!!!

It has been a busy and exciting changes in my life since last year. We spent 2013 in Tokyo, Japan, my second baby, Erika was born in end of May ( now she is 6 weeks old already!!!)  and just moved into new house.  And last night, I had my first photo session since Erika was born.  Since I didn't know how my recovery would be like from labor, I wasn't planning to schedule any photo session till Fall. My recovery went well and I feel great!  It was so nice to be back   and seeing client's smile ;-) I LOVE MY JOB!  Now booking Summer and Fall sessions! Can't wait to reconnect with my clients again!! Stay tuned for sneak-peak from last night' family session!  It was at beautiful Saratoga Hills with beautiful family! In Tokyo, 7-5-3. Traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for three and seven year old girls and three and five year old boys. Maternity session in San Francisco! ~ Erika, 2 weeks old ~ One of my favorite!  My son Leo enjoying being a big brother and so so sweet to Erika ;-)

Since we moved to Tokyo last Christmas, ( Yes, we flew on Christmas day...), we finally visited my parent's house!  Since Leo is the first and only grand child right now, he was treated like a "super star" !   I usually don't bring my big camera when I travel but this time, I did since I really wanted to capture some precious images of Leo and his great grandparents who is turning 88 and 85 this year.  Below is one of my favorite image, Leo is taking pictures of his great grandparents ♥  Leo always watch me taking pictures so I guess it's natural ...   In a few years, I would love to hire Leo as an assistant and can't wait for a day to work together! We will be in Japan till end of this year and till then, I'm going to visit my parents house as much as I can, so that Leo can spend lots of time with his Japanese family!   Leo loves train so 4 hours train ride from Tokyo to Kanazawa ( my parents house) doesn't seem to bother him!

My son’s 3years Old Portraits

We are back in Rhode Island!  My son Leo was born in Newport, Rhode Island 3 years ago and we've been coming back here every Summer to visit his grandparents. Leo absolutely LOVES it here, lots of beach time!  It makes me so happy to see Leo playing with grandparents as they get to see each other only a few times a year. I finally had a chance to photograph Leo to create his 3 years old milestone portraits.  Leo is actually now 3 years and 2 months but it's close enough!!  When I'm home, it's always so busy with client's photo shoot, editing, ordering,etc and personal things tend to get pushed back...  So, I was really looking forward to photographing Leo at this trip.  The location is perfect for Leo who loves water, also this is a spot Leo's grandma used to visit since she was 10 years old. so it made it even more special ;;-)  I usually love "colors" in pictures, but for this one, I wanted a  " vintage look" . Happy 3 years old, Leo!  I love you so much ;-)
