Sweet Cupcakes

June 19, 2009

Oh. My. Goodness.

I’m normally not a sweets fan, really, I prefer bbq chips and buffalo wings and oysters over chocolate cake or cookies. However, I’m recently on a cupcake kick, and after many many days of never making it out, I finally got to visit Sweet in Harvard Square. Are these not DIVINE? Okay, a little sweet, a little pricey, but hey, if anyone wants to bribe me in the future, I’m sure you could totally do so with a dozen of these delights. * wink * The only kind of flavor I might not like is chocolate.

Anyway, I’ll admit, I’m behind on photo editing. I’ve been getting home from work (my actual full time job) after midnight most of this week so I’m trying to sleep and preserve strength to photograph during the weekend. Don’t worry though, they’re coming along, you will see them soon! My Mom (I LOVE HER SO MUCH) is coming this Saturday to help me get some more furniture into my condo (I’m still sleeping on an airbed, soo bad for my back), and take care of a lot of little things that I’ve neglected. I’m also getting some more administrative help this summer so that I can take some time off. I’ve been having a very emotional past couple of weeks. I like my day job and it’s not as intense as some private equity or doctor friends I know, but even so, not getting home for weeks straight until 10PM or later leaves very little time for socializing. Don’t get me wrong, I am so, so grateful for everything that has happened in my life so far and I’m amazed and flabbergasted at how quickly my bookings took off. However, I need to also focus on the important people in my life, like God, my boyfriend, my friends, my parents, and I would really love to successfully apply to and get into business school for entrance fall 2010! This is the reason why some of you are not getting sessions with me until September / October when you requested summer sessions. All my open slots have been booked, and the rest, I’ve had to close off so that I won’t go crazy. Having more me-time in between allows me to stay sane and for your photos to be good!

By the way, Lisa, one of my brides, set me up with a Yelp page! Thanks so much, you rock!

Esplanade | Boston Lifestyle Photography

May 11, 2009

Love, love, LOVE the weather these weeks – when it’s sunny. Just my luck, last Saturday, I planned to have a random photoshoot at sunset.. it was cloudy most of the day, but the sun managed to break through for the golden hour (and it ended up raining at night!). Excitedly, I grabbed my friend Eddie and my boyfriend Andrew to the Esplanade. I had hoped my photog friends would come too, but our schedules didn’t work out. So for photos that included me, I set up the shot by shooting an example image and taught the boys how to press the button. They did pretty well!

Watch out for Eddie here… he’s going to be big one day. Worked on the Obama campaign from its early stages and has been an edupol inspiration to many Asians at Harvard. He could charm your socks off too, look at that smile!

My new profile photo

You have no idea for how long I wanted a cool photo like this one…

Andrew’s idea

Andrew’s favorite climbing tree

To be honest, we really need dancing lessons, we can’t dance together very well haha!

There were some BEAUTIFUL tulips at Copley Square… but they’re all gone now, I’m glad I got some shots
