I feel fortunate to call the Fong family my friends and have captured many moments in their lives. From just family portraits to birthday celebrations to even photographing other family members and a cousin, I am always delighted that they ask me to document their growth and love as a family. This time around, there is a new addition. Madeline is only 2 weeks older than Emi and already, I know they are going to be the best of friends! She is an adorable baby girl, full of this hair that I absolutely love! She definitely brings smiles, especially from her older sister, who is another girl that I adore.
It was a joy capturing the Fong family and I cannot wait for our next session together. Congratulations again on your beautiful girl, Andy and Amy! Emi is going to love having play dates with Madeline!
After the crazy wind in South Pasadena, it left piles of leaves in the park. However, Kaitlyn had a blast tossing them in the air with her daddy!
I met Maile Morales at Adriana and Jeff’s wedding. She set up this incredible dessert bar filled with milk and cookies, raspberry jam bars, and pies. It was a dessert heaven and all the guests at the wedding treated themselves to slivers of pie and happily devoured the goodies. I actually was able to try a raspberry jam bar and a small slice of lemon meringue pie and it was absolutely fantastic! Not only were the treats tasty, but lovely to photograph with all the vintage-themed elements that Adriana and Jeff put together.
After setting up everything, Maile and I were able to chat and we discussed getting together for a morning where I could come into her bakery and take some photos of more goodies, but also the works of a pastry chef. As a Cordon Bleu pastry chef, you can see the love and attention to detail that Maile puts into her creations. It was a day filled with cake pops, macarons, cookies, and cakes! Not only was I able to capture Maile in her element, but also the final products and smell the wonderful scents coming out of the kitchen.
Maile caters for all events – big or small – and loves putting together colorful spreads of pastry delights. It was so much fun photographing an element of food – I love food! – and I cannot wait to stop by again to photograph more delectable pastries!

I have known Mason since the first year I started teaching and since then, I have witnessed so much in his life and have luckily, been a part of it as well. A little over a year ago I said I was ecstatic to witness his marriage to Jennifer. And shortly after, Mason came into the English workroom even happier and more excited than he was on his wedding day. Why? He announced that Jennifer was pregnant! I seriously could not be happier for anyone else. He already was a good father and role model to Breana and William, but now…now he was going to have a baby. If you know Mason, you definitely know how excited he gets and how he is so full of energy. So of course he always updated me on how Jennifer was doing and when he found out he was having a girl, I knew she would have him wrapped around his finger and swooning.
I was thrilled to meet Semah when Jennifer came by to introduce her to the English Department. Even though she was sleeping (She slept through even the loud bell ringing!), I was in love. I was able to see her grow and change from photos that they shared and also through Mason’s phone and then I saw her again right before the school year ended. Wow, did she change! I can definitely see parts of Mason and Jennifer in her and it is truly remarkable how Semah is a just a reflection of the two. I saw it even more when I photographed her and loved that she had a bubbly personality, smiles galore, and a silliness about her when I would tickle her on the grass as she rolled around. Seeing Semah roll around from tummy to back while relaxing under the shaded tree made me want to be a kid again!
Jennifer and Mason, you two have a beautiful family. I love that Breana and William are protective yet playful as the older sister and brother. Congratulations again on your beautiful Semowie!
