Jessica

This is Jessica, she is graduating this May as an honor student and will go on to college on full academic scholarship. Not only she's an honor student but she's also a student athlete. Ok now...how do you smart and healthy people do that? I just don't get it :)

On to the images. During the photo shoot we just happened to see the Honor Box parking signs at some corner in downtown Kansas City. It's just too perfect, don't you think?


I didn't make this up...but we, again, happened to see a discarded red couch so we decided to use it. Dragged it to the middle of the street, broken spring and all.




We went for the fashion look. This is too much fun :)




Thanks to Jessica and her whole clans (mom, dad, brothers) for coming along and providing extra help during the photo shoot. You guys are great!

Kaitlyn

One of the things that we immensely enjoy is to take Katie to her weekly Saturday exercise class. Except it is not something I can do on regular basis now that wedding season has already started and I have to be away from her on most Saturdays.

Katie is a carbon copy of me, minus the long hair, at her age. In fact, one time we showed her my childhood photo of me sitting next to my parents and Katie said "That's Katie with grandpa and grandma" :)

Katie is never the one who jumps into excitement right away no matter how many times we've gone to the excercise class before. Katie would always first observe the other kids as she'll gradually warm up to them. And at the end she won't be able to contain herself with joy. It's just too much fun and blessings for us to be able to watch her being so happy.



Image on right: while slowly warming up to the other kids, Katie is smiling inside. I just know it :) She even flashed a brief smile that's quickly disappeared when her teacher saw it.


I love how she curls her toes while standing and waiting for her turn for the next exercise.


Katie's being silly with mommy. I could live in this moment forever.


We have a few months to come up with the theme for her third birthday this coming August so feel free to share your fun-original-cute ideas with us :)

Blessings,
David

Zack

Zack had his photo shoot late last year. But Nancy's, that is Zack's mom btw, recent order for commencement invitation cards served as a reminder to me to post some of the images from the shoot.

Zack is an all around nice guy. He plays and starts for Hayden High School basketball team. Zack also plays keeper, that's goalie for you not familiar with soccer, and he is the homecoming king, too. On top of that he's very humble about it all. And here's me thinking...hey not fair, how come he is so good in so many things and looking handsome while doing them? And me, I'm lucky if I can chew and walk at the same time without bumping into things ;)

Zack and Nancy just love this shot. They have a big one framed in their den right now. Btw, I just love the story Nancy emailed me this morning:
"On Saturday Zack was preparing to go to the Royals game in KC. A few of his friends met him at our house before heading out. One of the boys commented on Zack's senior picture (the blue shirt with tie) saying how he really liked that shot. Then another boy said, "Hey, if you like that one, come downstairs and see my favorite picture ever. It is the coolest picture of all time. Only if it was me in it". "

Nancy told me that if you can get 17 year old boys interested in the photos, she'd say that is the best compliment ever. Ha.





We've got so many good shots from his photo shoot. Zack and Nancy did an awesome job choosing which images to include on the cards. And this is how the invite card looks like (and multiply that by 200 pieces). The actual card doesn't show my website address, of course.

Mei Hwie + Andy

So we all agreed to have Mei Hwie and Andy's bridal photo shoot on a certain date. Things were looking great all week long, clear blue sky, reasonably warm weather, you know...the works. So came the D-day, and things went the opposite way. Grey replaced blue, warm turned into cold. But Mei Hwie and Andy were such a trooper and decided to go with the original plan anyway.



The king and queen in front of their home :)


It was so cold that day the lady on the right turned into a statue.




Special thanks for Mei Hwie's sister who went with us and provided the future bride and groom with warm beverages throughout the photo shoot.

Mei Hwie and Andy, thank you for putting up with me. And I'm sorry if I laughed at you (just a little bit, and I was laughing WITH you) when you're shivering. You guys are too much fun!

Much blessings,
-David
