We just booked 2 weddings yesterday! Smaller, planning on covid safe guidelines... but still - excited for this year as a few of my bigger weddings have re-postponed to next year! With baby on the way, and not knowing what lies ahead for regulations, I’m only taking on a few more bookings this year! Current mood: the waiting.

As the end of the year rounds off, I’m so impressed with all the styled shoots that I’ve seen my cohorts host this year in order to just create and keep inspired during this hard time! Kicking myself that I didn’t have the energy to do more than a couple because of this pregnancy but I will say that I wouldn’t change a thing! Thankful to be alive after seeing so much go down in the surrounding world! I know there is always next year!! AND I’m happy I did save my energy and time to invest in my couples who did not give up on me! I can’t wait to celebrate with many more next year! 2020 was not a waste at all if you’re still here reading this! You too did your part to keep your distance and practice safety precautions as you moved around town trying to find toilet paper and essential goods! Staying alive is so important, especially for all your friends and family who are far away and thinking about you. Just know... everyone is pretty much spending this holiday season alone but we’re not alone because we’re all in this together! I love the positivity I’ve seen online and the attempts to create experiences virtually! We attended 3 virtual baby showers this year of our dear cousins and it wasn’t so bad! We at least got to join in where as in previous years, the thought of broadcasting it would’ve been unheard of! There has been and will be so many great conferences to be held on @zoom this year!! I feel blessed to have been able to connect with some high profile speakers in ways I never thought possible before! And if you’re missing out on things like the Hmong New Year Celebration? Theirs a virtual group on @facebook right now filled with photos, recipes, memories, and more that people from all over are sharing! Do what you can to stay alive! I’m thinking about you from my neck of the woods! #wereallinthistogether #youarenotalone #countyourblessings #vi#bethankfulforwhatyouhave #thankfulfortoday #survingthepandemic #pursuepretty #prettythings #flatlaystyle #fatlayphotography #weddingflatlay #weddingshoes #hmongweddings #hmongweddingdetails #bipocweddingphotographer #bipocvendors #vendorsofcolor #constantlycreating #creativeentrepreneur #lovealwayswins (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH9IYZMjPqP/?igshid=1h59rgokbmmj3

Because I’ve been showing up to shoots with my mask on, I don’t feel as connected as I did when clients can see my funny face and interact with me but just know... I’m almost always smiling under the mask, promise! Thought I’d show more of my face around here so you can always come here when you’re missing my smile! 😬 #smilingundermymask #missingyourface #humanconnection #humanexpressions #weddingphotographer #pacificnorthwestweddingphotographer #nocalweddingphotographer #bayareaphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #portlandweddingphotographer #pdxweddingphotographer #sfweddingphotographer #covidready #wearamask #protectyourself #planningthroughapandemic #loveissimple #bipocweddingphotographer #bipocrepresentation #representationmatters #asianamericanvoices #smileyoureoncamera 📷 @madsrossphoto (at Redwood Observation Deck) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHp6Bdjiom/?igshid=mcoz6ucixyk2

“They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that’s true. What they don’t tell you is that when it’s starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.” -Big Fish My sister says I remind her of Edward Bloom from Big Fish because I over exaggerate my stories and details! What... that’s just how I remembered life: with lots of golden hour light, blue skies and love! #blueskies #loveissimple #weddedbliss #sohappytogether #bigfishquotes #bigfish #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #goldenhourlight #loveandwildhearts #pnwweddingphotographer #liveoutloud #bipocweddingphotographer #bipocawareness #representationmatters #blacklivesmatter #blackrepresentationmatters #pocweddingphotographer #brideandgroom #glamourouswedding (at Simple Joie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9-0Kqj28h/?igshid=yzmjxnow8ioi

...when momma played both roles raising you! Happy Father’s Day to all... to the mommas who are pappas, the dads who are expecting, the folks who played a role raising us who aren’t our parents, and those who are missing their fathers this season because they are in a better place. I’m thinking of you. #motherdaughterdance #mymotherismyhero #fathersday #fathermother #bayareaphotographer #centralvalleyweddingphotographer #loveissimple #bayareaweddingphotographer #caughtinthemoment #parentdances #pdxweddingphotography #bipocawareness #representationmatters #bipocweddingphotographer (at The Manor Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtl9wyj2yk/?igshid=1c67a12wy2u7o
