Photoshoots as Team Building

Every now and then at work, it is good to take some really nice photos as part of a team-building exercise. Things get so hectic around here that sometimes one forgets to smile. But when they do? Oh Boy! Who knew they are such a good looking bunch.

Fun Engagement Shoot with Rich & Sam (and Buddy)- Sneak Peek


I had the pleasure of shooting engagement photos with Sam & Rich this weekend and OH MY! What a fun couple they were to work with!!! Not to mention their dog, Buddy, who is so handsome and actually poses for the camera (sometimes. lol....) 

They live in Auburn where nature resides. Sam & Rich are very active and both love being outdoor. They bike. They play tennis. Golf! They hike. Rich said they go down to the American River trail about 6 times a week and I can see why now. It is beautiful out there!!! The air is crisp and the view is amazing!

The best part about this shoot was that every place they took me to is meaningful to them. On these rolling hills, they recently competed and won 3rd place in a biking competition.













At the blueberry creek near their house.

The Hamai Family





Here are photos from the shoot with the Hamai family. Katherine said Greg wants family photos but really she just wants pictures of the girls playing together. So I told her why not do both!

Katherine said motherhood is the best thing that has happened to her. They tried and tried to have kids but couldn't. After many challenges (and tears), Katherine was able to get pregnant. AND with twins.

Xuan Tran: Pretty In Pink

I had the pleasure of working with Xuan and other photographers this past weekend on a shoot that took place in Old Sac. As you can tell from the photos, Xuan is so pretty already so it's hard NOT to get good pictures of her. I must have been influenced by my cousin because nowaday I find myself framing photos with elements from the nearby surrounding. To me, they make the pictures more interesting and fun. 

Her makeup was done by the talented Orchid Duong of Orchid Duong Artistry.

Children Photography by Yours Truly

I created a new blog specifically for Children Photography. I think children are the most wonderful things in the world.  They can be a handful sometimes but there isn't anywhere else that you can see such cuteness or see such innocence. You can access the Children Photography page by clicking here or on the link above. As always, thank you so much for your continued support. If you or anyone you know are looking for family or children photos, please don't hesitate to call me. Until then, enjoy browsing! =)

Oh, Sweet Love: Maribel & Everardo


Mari was the one who gave me the idea to start TwoTwenty Photos.  We talked about my photography interest for so long so she told me why don't I pursue it? Mari & Eve are the first couple I shot. I don't have an official post or album of them yet. I am home sick today and got some chance to work on their pictures, finally.

Maribel and Eve got married a year before Henry and I did. This past June 11th marked their 2nd wedding anniversary. The funny thing about Mari & Eve is that Mari's personality is exactly like my husband's and Eve is exactly like mine. We met up at 7:30AM to take these photos. Maribel was so pretty that day. She was beaming the whole morning!!!!













I'm in love with all things flowers. We were lucky to find these tea roses all in bloom at a local park so we were able to get some amazing photos in. =)










Happy 2 years anniversary. May you guys be blessed with many more!!!
