  • Indescribable Love…

    Please take a moment to watch this!  This was both powerful and moving for me!  I got this from Lydellphoto’s blog and it blessed me and I hope it blesses you too!  This was just what I needed and to visually see a representation of God’s love touched me and I hope it touches you too!

    Cheers,

    (Posed by Scott Robert)

    I have so many sweet images from this wedding I’d post them all if I could but here are a select few I enjoyed a lot myself.  I hope you enjoy this second set.  If you are wondering if the chair photo was all set up…nope.  They just happened to have pretty cool guest who like to make sure the bride and groom are the center of attentions! =) 

    This is week two for me getting back to b ball and I am loving it.  I am so out of shape though.  My stamina on the court sucks but all in all I am getting some good cardio and meeting some pretty cool people.  To give you and idea of how out of shape I am…after playing five full court games last week I was sore for the whole entire week.  Pretty weak sauce I know hahah but hey…no pain no gain. 

    I hope you are all have a awesome week. 

    Thanks for reading!

  • Like My Hair?  =)


    So those of you who know me well know I have not had a haircut in quite sometime…like 4 months so far which is very long for me since I normally get a hair cut about once a month!  I’m 4 months and going strong.  Most people know me with short hair and are probably not used to this.  If this is your first time seeing me this might be no big deal at all haha.  I don’t plan on cutting it until after 2008 and even then I’m not sure what I’m going to do haha.  Most days now I don’t even know what to do with my hair.  Its a surprise everyday.  Somedays it looks like a fro the others I look like someone mowed it down flat with a hot iron haha.

    It all got started when I got lazy and didn’t cut my hair.  Thats how it pretty much got started and then my sister got me some sample hair products by KMS.  I got this hair play goop and it works wonders on long hair might I add.  In fact its sort of fun and gives a lot more character haha.  Now another reason why I’ve decided to keep it long so far and for sometime is because I have been getting a lot of positive feedback from females about my hair.  I’ve always had my hair somewhat short especially on the sides but most girls have never commented on my hair.  Not that I cared until now that I have long hair; for some reason they all like my new dew which confuses me but whatever haha.  The thing I hate about long hair is its harder to maintain and it takes longer to fix in the mornings haha. 

    I used to be pretty careless about my hair but now I give it a little more care, I’m such a girl but o wells. haha. Do I look like a Korean Pop Star yet? hahah prob not but perhaps when the New Year rolls around I will.  I can think of a select few who hate my hair long right now so this ones for you long hair haters haha.  If you look at my profile pic you can reminisce my original look.  So what do you think peoples, long or short?  My dad thinks I look like a bum cuz sometimes it looks like bed hair, my mom likes the traditional look of the clean cut short hair, someone told me one day I looked like I had a birds nest on my head, LMAO haha.  Anyways, thats my random blurp for now.  Stay tuned for wedding and portraits! =)

    Thanks for reading!

  • Bryan & Angeline

    Bryan & Angeline are probably some of the coolest people I’ve had the privilege of knowing.  The joyous part of being a part of their wedding day is the fact I will be a part of the lives outside of this very occasion.  I met Bryan and Angeline about a year ago at a small group called FOCUS at River Ridge Church and a year later I’m a part of their special day!  What a joy!  Id have more variety of images but I was a hired second photographer to capture different portions of their wedding day!  Sorry guys, no bride and groom photos by me! =)  Didn’t have any down time to photograph the bride much alone either.  Pressed for time.  Anyways, B & A are the most down to earth couple I know and I always feel myself around them.  Bryan you looked like a stud and Angeline you were simply beautiful!  Thanks for including me on your special day! I hope you enjoy these images!
