These little hands

Image
Testing out my new camera (yes again) with Kaylee yesterday and got pretty awesome shots of her..so I just had to share! I have been shooting in Av mode (Aperture-priority) to get depth of field (blurred background and sharp foreground) Kaylee is such a great model for mommy! She is so fascinated with hands at the moment! I will be doing an engagement photo shoot for a dear friend this weekend. I'm pretty excited and nervous at the same time since this is my first time doing a shoot for anyone. O_o I'm just honored that she want me to take her photos! Happy weekend everyone!

Embrace the Camera :: } May 19

Hubby and I took a trip to Vegas before I had Kaylee. I was 13 weeks pregnant and we knew this would be our last trip for awhile. Boy did we had fun! ::::::::::::: “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

Orchids

Image
Here are some photos I took with my new camera Canon T3i. Love it but I still got so much to learn! Planning on reading the manual but haven't had much time to myself lately..busy busy mom! Im amazed that my orchids are still alive! I got it from Hubby for Valentine's day and it's still growing strong. I normally kill all my plants and flowers after couple weeks. Baby Kaylee already at 11 weeks. My other baby girl {with a bad haircut..I gave her a new haircut over the weekend :D } They really love each other She's starting to suck her hand now. Last week photo of Kaylee at 10 weeks Anyone own a T3i or T2i? How do you like it? I still haven't really figure out the video option yet. Here is a video I did of Kaylee with G12 Canon. This is by far my favorite video of her. She's already talking..or trying to :D

It's fun to dress up and a new camera!

Image
Lately all I have been wearing to work is comfortable clothes..once in awhile I like to dress up and try to look important professional. I know honeysuckle is the 2011 color but so far I really like yellow. They should name yellow or mustard color for 2012 so I am all prepared..just saying.. On another subject I am saying farewell to my Canon xsi and hello MR. Canon T3i. I absolutely love my xsi but recently I have been videotaping Kaylee a lot and my xsi doesn't come with a camcorder. Been hinting the T3i to hubby for awhile and he finally got it for me for Mother's day. T3i is very similar to the Canon 60D but a little bit cheaper, Cant wait to test this toy out! You know I will be taking a lot of pix of Kaylee with this bad boy Have a great Monday!

Dear baby girl...

Image
My sweet baby, how can you still be so adorable and sweet even when you are sleeping. You always have a smile on your face and you are never fussy unless you are hungry or need a diaper change. You are such a happy baby and we love you so much! Your personality is starting to show and we can tell that you are going to be such a good girl. You are so calm and we know that you will be very respectful and considerate when you grow up Mommy has been documenting your every move on videos too. Here is the latest one of you. Your smiling and laughing is so contagious!

This picture was taken when I was 5 months pregnant with Kaylee. We were traveling to Richmond and DC (you can see me holding my camera so I can capture our mini trip) before I get too big. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

{ Let's Get Personal }

Image
One thing I love about Kaylee's nursery is that we like to put some personal touches into the decorations. Most of the artwork in her room I designed them myself, and hubby helped too of course. I found the shadow box from Ross so had to include all the cute baby cards (that could fit) into the box. I love the White Ribba Ikea frames! Baby girl is my lil sunshine! Love the K that I found at Michaels for couple dollars! Oo so it's Wednesday, were halfway there to the weekend! btw Did you know that Starbucks is having happy hour until May 15th on all their Frap??? My new favorite is the Mocha Coconut Frap! Try it and let me know if your addicted to it like me!

What's for Dinner} Zesty Asian Wings

Image
Before we had Kaylee, Hubby and I would always go to Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday for their wings special. I normally get their Asian Zing (nom nom nom) Hubby likes the mango habanero. Since I have been craving for some wings lately, I thought why not make some with my own spin on it. I am no chef but gotta say..these wings were pretty darn good! I baked the wings for 30 min and deep fried them for about 10 min. As for the sauce, I chopped up some garlic, and chili..added honey, fish sauce, vinegar and sauteed it for few min and combined the wings and sauce together. Pretty simple and sweet! These were so good with rice, I eat EVERYTHING with rice..typical asian of me :D
