meet maya

i've been quite busy at work that i haven't had time to post some photo news on my blog and i've also been trying to catch up on some photography work. to those who tried to get in touch with me, my apologies for the late response.

i just wanted to take this time to introduce the new addition to our big family. her name is Maya. she was born a few days ago during a chilly day in new york city. she's the beautiful daughter of my cousin and his wife. congratulations again to pia & jamil. :-)
(i also posted photos from their wedding last year... click HERE)

we visited them at the hospital during maya's 1st day out of her mommy's womb. she's such a treasure and it's such a wonderful time to welcome her to the world during thanksgiving week. i just wanted to share some photos that i took during our visit.

to maya...lots of love. we can't wait to see you grow up.

happy thanksgiving to everyone too. :-)

me & Maya :-)

newborn session: baby audrey

a few weekends ago, i had a special session for a good friend of mine. i also did her maternity photo session a few months ago. see HERE. i'd like to take this opportunity again to congratulate my friend, nancy & her husband on the arrival of their beautiful baby girl, audrey.

the session was held at their home in new jersey when audrey was only 2 weeks old. she was the tiniest newborn i've photographed so far. it was a rainy & gloomy weather that day but we still continued the session and i just had to make the most of the available natural light. baby audrey wasn't that comfortable that morning so we just tried to make the most out of it. despite the rains & mood of baby audrey, i think we still got some great photos! :-)

to nancy, david & baby audrey... thanks again for a wonderful experience and photo session. thank you so much for your patience. i hope you like this sneak preview of your session. i will see you again soon.

lots of love...

...a moment in history well captured in a powerful image ... OBAMA in a historical moment with his wife on the background watching election results on TV at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago, Ill. during the U.S. presidential election night.

i just wanted to share these historical "behind the scenes" - images of president-elect Obama and his family during election night, taken by Obama's campaign photographer & uploaded on Flickr photo-sharing website.
