i heart faces

I have been in love with iheartfaces. The contest for this week is

hilarious outtakes (my first contest). So, I have looked through my

photo album on computer. Found a few..



Girls, don't get mad at me-- Thought they were hilarious (and darling cute)...

Giovanni adores his aunt! :)

Estelina and Giovanni dancing

Firstly, hope Santa has been soo good to you this year! He surely did for all of us. The most important for us was the family gathering, it was sooooo nice!! We, the siblings, watched the Lakers' game. Unfortunately, Lakers lost. Chatted chatted chatted the day away! Sweet.

Estelina wanted to show us her thriller dance that she learned from school. Then she decided to make up (inspired by MJ) her own dance-- Naturally, Giovanni wanted to dance as well. They both were so hilarious and CUTE!!

Enjoy the video--

Merry Christmas to everyone~

Will post a few more sometimes soon.. Hope you had a great Christmas.. :)

Til then!

It is SOO good to be home for the holidays-- especially when I get the chance to see my little ones. Hopefully to take more photos more of my little ones when I get the chance to! :-)

Just love Giovanni's facial expression and Enos watches over

Traci and her mastiff dogs!

Traci and I were friends since Gallaudet days-- So, I have known her for a long time...


I was fortunate to be asked to take photos of one of photographers in Riverside. She wanted to have a vintagey look on her pictures.






I could not decide which picture I like better the next 2 photos. :)






Thanks Traci for FUN session! Looking forward to more sessions in the future.

New camera!!

I ordered new camera a while ago AND it arrived today! I was soo excited! I took soo many self-portraits! Yikes, I felt like a celebrity by my camera! LOL.

I am VERY excited.. I will be shooting a few people for the next a couple of days! I canNOT wait! It will be F-U-N!

Sorry for being in silly mood. Oops! Hope you enjoy the very mini celebrity picture of me! :)

NOH8

Nick and I went to NOH8 campaign to take photos! Those campaign supports Prop 8, the charity will go to them. You can see the campaign's website here. It was a great experience for us, tho. Fortunately, we met Jennifer Sasha Alexander, a CODA. I believe I know her father since I was little-- scary, I am getting old but wiser! :) She helped us with interpreting a little!

We thought why not take more photos--- we went home, I took a few shots of Nick and his roommate, Bob, who joined us later in the evening. :)



I am loving the yellow chair! I definitely want to play more with the chair! Thanks Nick and Bob for the great time!!

It's November, the thankful month! I am thankful for the wonderful friends like you! I didn't forget you, Maisha! You were busy that time, bummer! However, I know many many more times to come!!

Family away from my family

Mayer family was like a family to me! When I moved to LA, they were so marvelous! I am very fortunate to know them! This blog is to honor the family that treated me like a family!

Wishing them the best of luck in their new chapter! Love you all! Xo

Anya Joie

I babysit Anya mostly on Fridays. Sometimes, I sneak to bring my camera to make Anya a beautiful baby model. Here is one of my favorites!



Anya's obsessed with this orangy star ball. When Anya gets grumpy, I'd give her the ball, she smiles! What a cutie pie she is!


*Teethy Anya Joie*


Watch out--- more teeth to come! :)

Lastly, Anya and I!



Til then~ Adios!
