Coincidentally Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year fall on the same date this year. I wasn’t always happy to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but something changed in college. Sure, it might be a holiday created by Hallmark, and expressions of love through flowers and candy might appear trite, but when I celebrate Valentine’s Day, I see...
I’m so excited to unveil my new logo, a big thanks to Yuling for being its mastermind! You can see the logo in the images in the header of this blog as well as on my main website for my wedding photography. The graphic in the middle is both a star and an ivy leaf...
I’ve been having a blast meeting up with other photographers in the area. Winter is the best time for me to meet new people because we all get a bit busy in the summer, although I do hope that I’ll get to enjoy this summer too! A couple of personal photos… these I shot in...
I’m home, tucked in with a copy of Martha Stewart’s 15th anniversary edition of Martha Stewart Weddings (even on vacation I think about weddings), and I want to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful, beautiful, and love-filled Christmas, wherever you are. Thank you all for reading, for commenting, for giving me much-needed support...
A while ago, my friend Christina and I decided to plan an extra-special holiday party this year – I hadn’t seen many of my friends for a long time due to my photoshoots and business school applications, so I really wanted to give them something special. Taking inspiration from one of the trendiest colors to...
I’m excited to announce that I got into business school! I got the call yesterday from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business! While my decision as to where I’ll be going to school has not been finalized – I still have outstanding applications – I will definitely be a full-time MBA student for...
It’s a rare thing for me to be able to see my family – my Mom’s side is in China, my Dad’s side is in Australia, my grandparents are all in China… the only ones here in the U.S. are my parents and I. I last saw my Australian family in 2006 – we went...

I think Andrew must have breathed a huge sigh of relief when he found out that I actually like Tiffany & Co only for the color of their boxes and not necessarily what is inside. In fact, if someone just gave me an empty Tiffany box it’d make my week! I’m...
I have the next two weekends to myself, photoshoot-free! I made a decision in the summer to keep some more weekends to myself to recover and spend more time with loved ones. As I still have the luxury of having photography as a part-time option, and my full-time job is going swimmingly (recently got promoted!),...
Before this month is over, I want to give a shoutout to my parents. I didn’t do it on their wedding anniversary (July), and I didn’t do it on their birthdays (both were this month), but better late than never. First off, my parents are FABULOUS, and I love them both. They are usually in...
