{Portraits} Marta in Union Square San Francisco https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2015/4/Portrait-Session-Marta-Union-Square-San-Francisco Marta hired me to photograph her birthday party. We both thought that it is a great idea to do a mini portrait session prior to heading over to the party. Here are the results!

What a wonderful idea to get your own portrait session on your birthday! Marta, you rocked the shoot! I think we did a pretty good job with very limited time of 45 minutes.

It is a fun t-shirt to wear along with your favorite rock band tattoo logo or your favorite baseball team tattoo logo when attending concerts or sport events. TATTEES(tm) will be coming soon to a retailer near you! Stay tuned!!

 

I really enjoyed the creative process. It included creating the photoshoot concept and selecting the models/ wardrobes/ styles. We had three beautiful models with three different wardrobes in three different backgrounds. My models rocked the shoot!

Little Davon did not want to sleep and he did not like to be naked. We all wanted to see is a sleeping naked baby, don't we? Finally, we wrapped Little Davon, he was much happier in the wrap. We had a few adorable photos of a calm sleeping baby. We also have a few hilarious photos of the reality of parenthood. Thanks for Jon and Lilynda for their sense of humor.

 

Jon requested to do these funny photos below. I give him credit.  I love the sense of humor. I am sure a lot of the parents out there can relate to this.

{Fashion & Glamour} Jesse, Hong Kong https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2013/6/-fashion-glamour-jesse-hong-kong This is another photo shoot that I did in Hong Kong. Jesse looks stunning.

It was very challenging to photograph Jesse in the middle of the street in Central, Hong Kong. Buses and trollys were flying by in both directions. We only had a few seconds to take the shot and we had to move quick. Luckily, I had two assistants helping me. One was holding a flash; and the other one was watching the buses and trollys for us. It was dangerous and funny at the same time. We were running in and out to the middle of the street : )  We started the photo shoot in Stanley for daytime photos. We ended our shoot in Central for some nighttime photos.

{Engagement} Yen & Cheung, Hong Kong https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2013/5/-engagement-yen-cheung-l-hong-kong This is another engagement session that I did in Hong Kong.

Yen and Cheung looked amazing in this photo shoot. They wanted me to create some fashion forward images. I think we nailed it! We photographed at the following locations:

Pottinger Street 石板街:  Owing to it's steepness, stone slabs were unevenly paved on it to facilitate walk and allow rainwater to flow down along either side. But as the whole street was paved with Slabs of stone, the local Chinese called it "Stone Slabs Street". The street was named after Henry Pottinger, the first Governor of Hong Kong.

Lan Kwai Fong 蘭桂坊: It is an L-shaped, cobble-stoned lane. It is a popular expatriate haunt in Hong Kong for drinking, clubbing and dining. 

Causeway Bay 銅鑼灣: It was so much fun to photograph the busiest street in Hong Kong. Buses were flying by and pedestrians were walking around us in different directions.

{Engagement} Vivian & Wai, Hong Kong https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2013/4/-engagement-vivian-wai This is an engagement session that I did in Hong Kong (my home town) with Vivian and Wai. They have been together for 10 years since college. They were both share the same birthday, May 4th. Isn’t amazing! They are Taurus and having the similar characters. They love visiting Japan and shopping. After a wonderful journey together for 10 years, they moved to the next level by living together and getting a small puppy. These two love birds decided to get married in 2014!!!

We went to Stanley for this engagement photo shoot. Stanley is beautiful seaside city. It originally was a small fishing village on the south coast of Hong Kong Island- now a popular residential area, with attractions like the famous Stanley Market and also now a good selection of drinking and eating options along the waterfront on Main Street. A more recent addition is Murray House.  It is a Victorian-era building originally built in the present-day business district of Central in 1846 as officers' quarters of the Murray Barracks; the building was relocated to Stanley during the 1998. Now, it is a three-storied building containing several restaurants and a mini museum introducing its history. I am very pleased with the photos taken inside the Murray House with the long hallway.  I love the chemistry between Vivian and Wai! After a few hours of photo taking, we rested at the Boathouse restaurant for a relaxing meal. It is one of popular spots on Main Street.

{Event} Gatsby Summer Afternoon, Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate, Oakland, Sep 9th 2012 https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/9/-event-gatsby-summer-afternoon---sep-9-2012 The 28th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon was held at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate in Oakland CA on Sep 9th, 2012. More than 800 people attended this enjoyable event which was skillfully organized by the Art Deco Society of California.

We had a blast experiencing the 1920s and 30s as we stepped back to a time when elegance was a way of life. Every participant dressed in vintage day-wear styles of the era. We played, picnicked, sipped champagne and danced to live music provided by The Royal Society Jazz Orchestra; the Charleston and Fox Trot were all the rage back in the day, and at the picnic too!

The afternoon was packed with excitement and entertainment. There were over 30 vintage autos on display, wine tasting, Dunsmuir house tours, croquet lessons, fashion parades and contests, an exposition of some amazing swing dancing and a performance by the Decobelles Bathing Beauty Revue.

As a photographer, I was overwhelmed. At every turn there was another photo opportunity to capture the Art Deco era glamor and charm. It was like movie set, but even better because the actors weren't actors at all and there were no electric cables or big movie cameras to spoil the illusion. It really felt as though I had slipped back in time 90 years.

{Charity & Community Event} La Piccola Scuola Italiana (for children education) https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/5/-charity-community-event-la-piccola-scuola-italiana-for-children-education I helped in raising funds for a non-profit: La Piccola Scuola Italiana (LPSI)!

My friend, Brook Sheahan from Nonpareil Event Planning and Design http://nonpareilevents.com asked me to donate a photography session to her daughter’s preschool (LPSI) annual fund raising event as part of an auction package. It was a birthday party package that she put together. The birthday party will be at the Bay Club Gateway (tennis and swim club on the Embarcadero) and there will be approximately 20 kids in attendance.

 

The birthday package raised $1,000! I am happy that I am able to make a contribution for a good cause. The annual fund raising event took place on Saturday, March 3rd, 2012 at Bimbo’s 365 Club. The event raised over $80,000!

 

Founded in 2002, La Piccola Scuola Italiana (LPSI) is San Francisco’s only Reggio Emilia-inspired Italian immersion school. In the past several years, the school has grown from a small core of very dedicated families to a thriving community of over 150 families. LPSI’s ongoing mission is to provide the highest quality Reggio Emilia-inspired early childhood education, and to build a diverse community in which children experience and enjoy Italian language and culture. Our educational project is ongoing and we hope to grow our program into a K-8 school over the next few years. Funds raised at past events have enabled LPSI to renovate a former medical office building into a bright, beautiful sensory laboratory’ designed specifically for young children; to transform a parking lot into a magical outdoor play area that sparks the imagination; to create a space where healthy meals, cooked from scratch, are shared with friends; to build a kitchen where children are introduced to the joys of cooking; to provide children with a dedicated art space (the Atelier); and to ensure that LPSI is a place where children learn, play, experiment and grow in a nurturing, unique, Italian immersion environment.

 

This year, they are raising funds to continue Phase II of the build out of the school campus, which includes completing the outdoor play area and renovating our annex, an area where teachers will plan and document the children’s work, making their learning visible and keeping them at the center of our educational project.

{Family Portraits} Katie and Kevin l Golden Gate Park https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/4/-family-portrait Koret Children Quarter, Golden Gate Park is my favorite place for family portrait session.  Kevin and Katie dressed their family in light pink and light blue. I loved the color combo. I was so lucky that the little cutie smiled for me. Kaite told me that they have done professional family portraits before, but the little cutie cried. I guess I have the magic power to make her smile : )

Tara and Jeron decided to have a small, intimate wedding of close friends and relatives at the amazing Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Gilroy, CA.  Everything about the day was beautiful. They are such a loving, warm couple. Their love for one another and their family was apparent throughout the day. The dance floor was filled with energy. Dancing with their daughters, parents and grandparents until almost the last song.

Tara & Jeron, thank you both so much! I truly loved being a part of your gorgeous wedding day and documenting the special love that you two share. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and laughter. Cheers! xoxo.

{Family Portraits} in Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/3/-family-portraits--in-queen-wilhelmina-tulip-garden What a beautiful day for a family portrait session at the Tulip Garden! Michelle and Art were well-prepared for the shoot. They brought 3 different dresses for the girls and several hats for themselves. The little girls were happy because they played dress-up; I was happy because I took many cute photos of the princesses.

{Boudoir} in Las Vegas https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/2/boudoir-san-francisco This is my first Boudoir photo shoot. My photographer friend, Becky Yoder from The Four Daughters Photography modeled for me. She is so beautiful. Thank you so much, Becky!  

There is a funny story behind these photos...... we attended the WPPI Convention in Las Vegas. Becky and I shared a room. We were both extremely tired from attending all the workshops during the day. I went to bed early because I was sick. It was around midnight, Becky returned to the hotel room from dinner. We decided to do a boudoir session out of the blue. Within just a few minutes, we put this together in our hotel room without any studio light and natural light.  What do you think?

{Personal} WPPI in Vegas https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2012/2/-workshops--wppi-in-vegas I had a blast at the WPPI Convention (Wedding & Portrait Photographer International) in Vegas. I have met a lot of wonderful people. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love the group of photographers from the Bay Area. They are super nice!  I attended 10 workshops. Three of these workshops covered Boudoir Photography. My favorite is The Boudoir Divas. I am so fired up and ready to shoot some boudoir photos!

{Family Portrait} Holiday Family Portrait Marathon, Golden Gate Park https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2011/12/holiday-family-portrait-sessions I have finished photographing 26 Mini Family Portrait Sessions in two Saturdays in the month of December. I am so thankful for the support of my clients! It was a lot of fun taking photos of kids. They are super cute! I've worked extra hard to get those images edited prior to the holidays. Yes, I have finished with photographing, editing, posting, uploading all 26 family portrait sessions in two weeks!!!

Rensaissance Faire in Hollister, Oct 2011 https://www.fionachanphotography.com/blog/2011/11/rensaissance-faire-10-09-2011

I love costomes. I had a blast with my sister at the Rensaissance Faire. People LOVE to get in front of the camera for you. It was too funny that the parents told their kids to pose for me or look at the camera for me without me asking them to do anything.
