Personal | Jen Huang Workshop-In-A-Box

Apple rosette tarts, flowers, and delicate props - a wonderful combination. Nathalie Cheng recently procured Jen Huang's Workshop-In-A-Box, and we spent an afternoon baking delicious yet simple apple tarts and learning to stylize our own shoots. 

This day was special, because it came with several firsts - my first time doing a photography workshop and capturing my first roll of film. I am thankful that through a dear friend's generosity and support that my eyes were opened to a new avenue of beauty. For years film always had a special place in my heart, and it is undeniable that its way of melding illumination, colors, and depth cannot be fully reproduced by another medium. It is a process that requires patience, yet the results are rewarding! Though I was always on edge on purchasing a camera, I was immediately sold and shortly thereafter researched for one of my own. I am excited for it to come to my doorstep!

Thank you Nathalie Cheng for your friendship, helpful advice, and being my lovely model!

Local | San Francisco, CA

The San Francisco Ferry Building is marked as an iconic location for visitors near and far. Many come for the view, the delectable food, and to observe this historical building as a whole. It also houses many products known by many for its subtle beauty yet captivating details. Yes, I was not ashamed to line up by myself to get two scoops from Humphrey Slocombe at their opening hour. It is simply a joy to walk around, window shop, and share dessert and coffee for two.

Personal | Holidays 2015

During the holiday break, Frank and I were able to travel to southern California and spent quality time with friends and family. Recent circumstances have caused us to consider the great blessings that we have, and treasure the little moments that we once before overlooked. Although the weather was at times bitingly dry and cold, the colors outside were still gorgeous.
