PURPOSE PIES / Hong Kong Photographer

Ms. Shannon Ng founded "Purpose Pies" in 2009, a Christian-centered organization which aims to fight hunger, one pie at a time. For every pie you purchase, proceeds will go to charities in Hong Kong. I support organizations such as this and thus I donated my photography services to capture her pies for her Purpose pies website. I say it's a win-win situation....you get to enjoy those fabulous pies and the proceeds will go to a good cause. To see more photos of the pies I captured, please visit my Facebook page here and click the Purpose Pies album.

I thank Shannon for this opportunity. We also had a fun time during the session---taste testing the pies--had a taste of heaven :)

My brother just joined the Photography world!!!

My kid brother Gerald and his lovely wife Nikkah are two very talented individuals in the medical field (both are nurses), yet they surprised me with their innate talent on photography.
I love, love their documentary style, naturally lit photos! Being in this business for a while, I'm usually my own worst critic. I'm very impressed with their processing techniques, composition and ability to tell a story.
I highly recommend you and everyone from Orange County CA to see their works and experience what it feels to be special.

Please visit their website at The Blue Sky Creations Photography.

MEET LITTLE MISS CLAIRE / Hong Kong Newborn Photographer

11 day old Claire was such a delight to capture. She slept in most of the session and really made it through despite of the rain and thunder outside. I am happy to capture her and make use of my newest prop: the hanging basket.

Light and Magic!

I loooove to experiment on photography. There's way too many things you can do with your camera.
This evening, to the delight of my little girl, I created this series of light and magic using a pen light and a flute glass.

To my sis in law, Mary

My sister in law Mary is battling cancer for the second time. I dedicate this image to her as it reminds me that life is beautiful and that it's worth the fight. We are praying for you Mary. We love you.
This photo was taken in Cheng Chau Island, Hong Kong.

Out and about---Cheng Chau Island, Hong Kong

Captured this afternoon while riding the ferry en route to Cheng Chau Island in Hong Kong. I thought this was a wonderful opportunity to photograph the majestic ICC tower (International Commerce Centre) which is the highest building in HK at 464 meters.

My husband Lou is not the type who likes to be photographed, but hey I thought since he works out 2 hours a day, I thought he deserves to be captured this way....dynamic and sporty!
And finally a look at the waters surrounding Cheng Chau Island. We had a fabulous dimsum dinner after a 10 km hike. And what a picturesque scenery to watch after an exhausting day.
