			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Oh hello, look at this thousand-watt smile! The ever-adorable Rachel and I spent good quality time at Wellesley (yep, again!) for her senior sessionâ€¦ It was after commencement, the campus was extremely quietâ€¦ to the point where we were a little spooked! However, I love not having people around, we were able to take command over any location we wanted without people getting in the way.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Love her pink shoes! This is what Iâ€™m talking about in terms of accessories!<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">These chairs and umbrellas looked very European<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Does anyone else think she resembles Keira Knightley? I think itâ€™s in the eyes<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/571886345_z8Abo-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Rachel &#124; Wellesley Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">I have to admit, Iâ€™ve been Vickyâ€™s secret admirer for a whileâ€¦ on top of being a full-time Harvard student, sheâ€™s a part-time model with Bostonâ€™s Tonn Model Managementâ€¦ and Iâ€™ve always wanted to have a session with her just because sheâ€™s too cool for school. Vicky was pivotal in the 2008 production of Harvardâ€™s Identities, an Asian fashion show that Iâ€™ve covered. Imagine my glee when she approached me with a senior session request!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">LikeÂ <a href="http://shangchenphoto.tumblr.com/post/119937903/edlyn-senior-photos" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">Edlyn</a>, Vicky also brought her graduation robeâ€¦ erâ€¦ just the mortar board. To be honest, Harvard robes (at least for undergrads) are pretty boringâ€¦ just black. We donâ€™t even get a colored tassle. You figure for a gouging price of $45 (or whatever it is now) youâ€™d get something better than a polyester potato sackâ€¦ But this photo is really fun. This was right before commencement so they hung all the banners at Widener Library</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Deep down inside, weâ€™re all big nerds.<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">A Harvard Square look<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/561397154_gCvSz-M.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Vicky &#124; Harvard Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We crossed the busy crosswalk a couple times to get these action shots. Probably got a couple of stares from others. I LOVE them!<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Candid. Iâ€™ve walked past that green door probably hundreds of times but it finallyâ€¦ spoke to me. Okay I sound crazy<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/561397306_u7434-M.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Vicky &#124; Harvard Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is near Kirkland. Yep. The site of the shooting.<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">It started raining so we went inside for some laundry room fun!<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">So hot!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Okay, I should be asleep, but Pandoraâ€™s currently on a kick of a bunch of awesome songs and Iâ€™m wide awake. Next I present to you Suzanneâ€™s senior session at Harvard! Iâ€™ve photographed at Harvard many, many times, given that Iâ€™m from there and all, but I think this is actually my first on-campus senior session. Full circle!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">So we actually began in front of Suzanneâ€™s freshman dorm, which happened to be my freshman dorm too!<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/559754688_CcCTn-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Suzanne &#124; Harvard Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>We really wanted to incorporate Memorial Church into her session, but there was a wedding going on there, so we opted for the ivy-covered walls of the church building instead<br />

<p><img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/559754754_bePDp-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Suzanne &#124; Harvard Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>This photo reminds me of a Lacoste ad for some reason. Love the movement!<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/559754795_V3cQR-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Suzanne &#124; Harvard Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>Ah Science Center Bâ€¦ site of many a lecture I fell asleep inâ€¦. (I tried! but I functioned on maybe 4 &#8211; 5 hours of sleep a night in college).<br />

<p>Some lovely portraits in Cambridge Commons.. arenâ€™t her eyes so beautiful!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Edlyn is the reason I got to do all these amazing senior sessions at Wellesley. Her previous session in the winter can be foundÂ <a href="http://shangchenphoto.tumblr.com/post/77066643/edlyns-senior-session" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">here</a>. We returned for a spring photoshoot. I laughed really hard when she came out wearing her commencement robe. She explained it was something that her parents wanted. I decided to make the photos look less frumpy than the posed senior photos I had to endure in college.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This location is awesome &#8211; a common room in the Tower dorm, it looks rather medieval actually<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">While taking this photo a family walked by and said Edlyn was a model!<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">A deliciously wonderful tree by the presidentâ€™s residence<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">We walked a bit through mud by the lake to find this awesome garden that belongs to the Hunnywells (sp?) that had pretty cool sculptured trees<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Thank you Edlyn for your wonderful friendship and for introducing me to so many amazing Wellesley women! The rest of her photos areÂ <a href="http://www.shangchenphoto.com/gallery/8478708_HjCuX" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Another year, and commencement dawns upon the hundreds of colleges and universities in the Boston area. Wellesley and Harvard are no exceptions, for this and the next 3 posts youâ€™ll see a variety of senior portraits at these two campuses. And even more awesome is that a lot of these girls are just like me &#8211; economics majors. Congratulations Ro!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I love how her shirt matches this one room we found in the student center<br />

<p>â€œYay Iâ€™m graduating!â€<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/556945691_WR6yz-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Ro &#124; Wellesley Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>Loooove the nature around Wellesleyâ€¦<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/556945744_gGN8H-M.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Ro &#124; Wellesley Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>Soo cute<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/556945831_huPdK-M.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Ro &#124; Wellesley Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>It was early morning (our session started at 8AM!) light but I wanted to edit this to look like a golden sunset<br />
<img src="http://shangchen.smugmug.com/photos/556945896_rA3nu-L.jpg" alt="Boston wedding photographer Ro &#124; Wellesley Senior Photography"  title="Boston wedding photographer" /></p>
<p>Thereâ€™s a reason this photo really stood out to me &#8211; funny fact, Roâ€™s mom doesnâ€™t like it when Ro smiles with her teeth showing, but I think itâ€™s absolutely adorable and so natural!<br />

<p>A tip for the class of 2010, Iâ€™m currently scheduling senior sessions for the fall season &#8211; availability is better, and youâ€™ll be able to get them in time to make prints prior to graduating! See the rest of the photos from this sessionÂ <a href="http://www.shangchenphoto.com/gallery/8470567_Zfm3d" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">here</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">My pod at work dismantled about a month and a half ago. I decided to move to a sunnier side, and Roman, our dear friend, left to pursue something that would actually let him see daylight during the weekâ€¦ ;) Heâ€™s still around though, and he, along with his wife, Abigael, are expecting twins!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">Matching onesies &#8211; theyâ€™re expecting a boy and a girl<br />

<p>I love these beautiful photos of Abigael by the window &#8211; can you believe sheâ€™s at 25 weeks?<br />

<p>For some reason this photo really stuck out to meâ€¦ probably because it was so candid<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kids grow up so quickly! You might remember little A fromÂ <a href="http://shangchenphoto.tumblr.com/post/91452558/family-photoshoot-in-boston" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">this photoshoot</a> or his absolute fabÂ <a href="http://shangchenphoto.tumblr.com/post/95640363/as-first-birthday" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">birthday party</a>. Weâ€™re slated for a couple more sessions this year. Todayâ€™s post is from a Motherâ€™s Day photoshoot at Arnold Arboretum. The weather was gorgeous that day, which meant that the park was also really crowded!</p>
<p>Many flowers were still in full bloom. I love pinks and greens!<br />

<p>Since I last saw A, he also learned how to walk!<br />

<p>Iâ€™m so glad itâ€™s Memorial Day weekend! I had a string of late (post 9PM) nights at work, I got sicker and sicker as the week progressed (I have the non-swine flu, I had some food poisoning), so I hope to get completely better this weekend and finish editing! This month I also walked the 20-mile Walk for Hunger and raised over $500 (thank you supporters!!!). Andrew and I are headed to Brown this weekend to participate in some commencement weekend activities. And oh yeah, I have to pack! I bought a condo in Brookline, closing is this coming week, and I hope to move next weekend (in the middle of 4 senior photoshoots). Crazy month for me in general, Iâ€™m survivingâ€¦ but Iâ€™m not going to lie, Iâ€™m stretching myself, so thatâ€™s why I canâ€™t take on any more gigs between now and August 15.</p>
<p>Oh, my friend Dave totally got me hooked on this arrangement by Jon Schmidt of Taylor Swiftâ€™s Love Story and Coldplayâ€™s Viva la Vida (youtube vidÂ <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v3d6SFcDys" style="color:#ff9900;"  target="_blank">here</a>). Now, Iâ€™m not a big fan of Swiftâ€™s song, I think the lyrics are unrealistic and from a counterpoint view, I donâ€™t like too many neighbor notes strung together, I prefer having wider intervals or appegiated chords in the melody line, but I loooove Coldplay, and I was introduced to Schmidt back in 2006 and have really liked his stuff too. Itâ€™s great study/work music =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wen and Phil were two of my high school youth counselors back in the day, and probably one of my biggest supporters since I began exploring photography back in high school. Itâ€™s always an honor whenever they ask me to take their photos, and I was particularly happy to find out that Wen wanted photos of her second pregnancy (congrats!). We drove to Wellesley College campus (seems to be one of my favorite places to shoot now!), the sky threatened to rain but held throughout the hour, woohoo!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Their son, little J, was a little clingy at first, so Phil took him for a ride!<br />

<p>I really love pregnant bellies, I think theyâ€™re one of the most beautiful things in the world<br />

<p>The gorgeous mom, Wen!<br />

<p>Wen and J<br />

<p>Haha, Philâ€™s expression here is funny<br />

<p>I love Wellesleyâ€™s greenery<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Thank you Wen and Phil for sharing your time with me, and I canâ€™t wait to see the little one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">On some days, I just have this quirky itch to photograph the ideas in my headâ€¦ and my unsuspecting victims are my friends. Haha! Kidding, Allie and I sort of had this planned for a while, but we didnâ€™t really know what we wanted, just that there would be pink, there would be flowy material stuff, and sheâ€™d do some fabulous poses. We ended up choosing one of the coldest, windiest days April could offer us. And we ended up by seaside too, so cold! Allie was a trooper though. Here are the resulting images</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">This was inside the subway station. Yes!<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Some blue sky managed to break through<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">It was very windy tooâ€¦.<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">Fresh tulipsâ€¦. I love flowers<br />

<p style="text-align:center;">We ducked inside aâ€¦ hotel and took this vintage-looking photo. Thanks AADT for lending us the fan!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iâ€™ve been returning to Wellesley to do a couple more senior sessions. I love the campus &#8211; itâ€™s a great mix of natural beauty and elegant architecture. The sky was threatening to rain the entire time, but Chanda and I were able to fit in a very productive session within 90 minutes!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Some great tall grass by the parking lot<br />

<p>I wanted to take as much photos while it was still sort of light<br />

<p>Wellesley has all these great lamp posts all over campus<br />

<p>We went to Tower Court, her dorm, and I wanted to get a curtain silhouette shot &#8211; inspiration from bridal shots<br />

<p>Chanda is an ec major just like me, we thought this book was pretty appropriate for the times<br />
