September has been such a crazy busy month but I just want stop in real quick to share with you some of my photography work I did.  I had the honor of shooting our friend's engagement and bridal shoot and so excited to finally show off the photos. The wedding was yesterday but we took the bridal shoot couple weeks ago so they can have photos to display at their wedding reception. I'll post up some photos of us attending the wedding later this week. K got to wear her beautiful traditional Vietnamese ao dai for the morning ceremony. K and I have matching outfits for the reception :D haha! If you follow me on instagram ( simplyvonne9 ) you might already seen K in her cute ao dai. I recently open up a Facebook page so I can show off some of my photography work. I have about 4 likes right now. haha! so...I would love your support!!!  I haven't been advertising it since I don't have much on there just yet.  Have a great Monday!

In photos I am very drawn subject's eyes. They are the window to the soul and I like for them to stand out. When photographing Kaylee I focus on her eyes since that is the first thing people notice when looking at a photograph. It also give the illusion that she has nice big sparkly eyes. To get the eyes to be crisp and clear, make sure you have a lot natural lighting available. If you are indoor make sure to place your subject by a window. I am very fortunately to have a big window in our master bedroom. I take all of Kaylee's room in there and have her look 45 degree angle toward the window. Using a reflector would also bounce a lot of light into the subject's eyes. Before Kaylee could sit up I use a white towel as a back drop so it can catch a little light from the window.  The best way to get your child's attention is hold a toy that he/she has not seen yet. It can even be your makeup brush or whatever you find in your purse. (The camera lens always doe

The sun, luminous and alluring, created the perfect lighting. Her relaxed waves and long, billowy skirt were perfectly tuned; romantic blissfulness. Brilliant color blocking- radiant blush and soft, demure turquoise- captured the rapturing sunset and illuminated her kind features. Beautiful photo shoot. Melissa was a pleasure to shoot, a natural for one thing, but also open for suggestions and guidance. She traveled over 1,400 miles from Sioux Falls, SD, to visit my precious baby K, along with my younger sister Lena, so a photo shoot? I couldn't resist. An avid fashion enthusiast, Melissa styled the shoot herself, sticking to romantic textures and bold color combinations. Her top was thrifted at a local shop for under two dollars; her skirt, Forever 21. Pulling the entire look together, beautifully and alluring.

Recent photoshoot that I am so excited to share! Isn't she beautiful? I love how she is so comfortable in front of the camera. It was so fun to style hair, makeup and clothes. You might have seen me wearing this dress before , except she look way hot in it.  :D I hope you are having a great week so far, thanks for letting me share some photography work with you.

I hope you had a beautiful weekend and did not get fooled on April Fool's Day ;) I had the privilege over the weekend to photograph our sweetest dear friends, Matt and Tram's anniversary. Beautiful sunny day spring day except for the cold chilly wind later in the afternoon. They were so natural (even Charlie the doggie) in front of the camera. Hope you guys enjoy the photos!
