This is a long overdue post but sometimes life is a little hectic. :)

Anyway, I did my first engagement shot in April ! SQUEE! I was so happy, nervous, and excited about that. I shoot outdoor most of the time but the couple wanted to do an indoor shoot at a bookstore. Because that's where they met. Yep, I think that's sweet too.

So off I went. I've been to that bookstore hundred times before, but I still arrived 15 minutes early to scout the location. I love this couple. They are so natural! The bride to be used to work in the children section of the bookstore. So I picked up few children books for them to read and one of the books is a children classic book "Guess How Much I Love You." Guess what? The groom to be said, "We actually made 'dog tags' and have our favorite phrase from the book printed on the tags." What a super nice coincidence.

I truly enjoy taking their pictures and witness their glowing love. My sister saw some of the pics and said, "You captured love." That put a big smile on my face, of course. :)

To J & R, I wish you a life time happiness and a never ending love to share. Thank you for allowing me to capture your special moment.

You can not depend on your eyes
When your imagination is out of focus.

Many times, I worry about not getting a tack sharp images and other technical bla bla bla. This time, I decided to just shoot what I see. Gosh, it's a good feeling!

I learned a lot from this session with my daughter. I learned to wait rather than just clicking my shutter. I learned that it is OK to have a different style (blurry and out of focus that is.) I learned to have fun during a session rather than stressing out to get perfect poses. I learned to follow her lead and dancing that is (my husband put on some music on his phone and the rest is truly a good fun!) I learned that it's worth it to nag my husband to get me Lensbaby Edge80. LOL.
