This is what a session looks like~

November 18th, 2009

Remember the images of these girls? I just have 10 min break from proofing this morning and wanted to share what a session looks like with their session images.When my clients call for booking a session, one of the most frequently asked questions is what to expect from a session. And my answer would be… this.I first come to the client’s house and quickly say hi and shake hands and pick out the best outfits (which usually is spread out on mom’s bed for me to go through for best pictures.) and girls get dressed while I check out the light on location. The whole thing takes about 10-15 minutes.  What you see here shows what usually happens from start to end - they are shown in order I took them. It is usually great fun for the kids and takes about 1.5 hours! I would start with the little one and family and older one and sibling together… any great moments will not be missed along the way. and go one more round as long as everyone is still(?) happy.Depend on what are the clients’ most interest, for examples, if it is wall gallery, coffee table book, digital files, storyboards, or holiday cards, the content may be little different, but usually we end up getting 30-50 beautiful images from a session. Sorry for the small sizes of the images, but I wanted to show all as a big picture. Again, I LOVE what I do and I feel so blessed to meet and capture so many loving families around DC area.If you are thinking about booking a session and have any question, please feel free to contact me at kyung@yellowhale.com or call me.

“C” for cutie pie

November 16th, 2009

Isn’t she something? I had this hat - not that I have any girl, but always loved shopping for girls - for a while and found the perfect fit! This session was done about two weeks ago when there were sessions everyday. I love taking pictures of babies when they can sit up straight and not crawling yet. It is the perfect timing to capture their beautiful (almost last stage of ) baby stage. If you are a mom of 6 months olds, I would really like to recommend to take as many pictures as possible. Once their mobility takes off, there is NO turning back!!! - it will be very hard getting images you want (your child looking at the camera and smile kind of shots) for a whi~~~~~~le.Baby “C” was a delight to work with and these sweet images will melt everyone’s heart.I am almost behind the schedule this holiday season. I would love to share and write more here, but right now it seems to be such a luxury. I will get back on those lovely images after this craziness.- I promise!meredith_01.jpgmeredith_021.jpgmeredith_03.jpg

Leaves are falling~

November 2nd, 2009

 It is NOW to feel the real fall. The leaves beautifully turned their colors into yellow, orange and red and they are FALLING. All my clients who booked the sessions last three weeks had to reschedule sessions due to various reasons including seasonal flu, terrible rain, and being sick myself. And they ended up being all in the same week. I had sessions morning and afternoon all week last week - and guess what. We ended up taking these beautiful colorful leaves as background. I think it turned out to be PERFECT! I will share those images with you as soon as I get done proofing. Here is one of my favorite sessions.I loved this wooded back yard with lots of fallen and falling leaves. They had a such a fun catching flying leaves all over. Aren’t they darlings???  Enjoy!!!jenny_01.jpgjenny_02.jpgjenny_031.jpgjenny_04.jpgjenny_05.jpglove them!

“B” is for Beautiful - washington child photographer

August 11th, 2009

Honestly this summer was full of exciting changes and news for my life and work. - All happened in a blink of an eye. We are getting calls for september sessions and I am working on new templates for Holiday Cards already.The images were taken right before the school vacation(almost THREE months ago????)  and so this reminds of planning all the things that we wanted to do for the summer. Beach house, trip to Korea or Paris, and all the other fun stuff… Most of them were cancelled due to my crazy work schedule and we ended up staying the whole summer here and having short weekend trip to nearby attractions. But still, it WAS fun and I am so grateful for a few more weeks to enjoy this wonderful season. This beauty is one of my son’s friend as well as the daughter of his beloved teacher.I loved her free spirit and her movement reflects it so well. We had so much fun running and goofing around. Thought she looks like a beautiful little bird flying and singing around you. Doesn’t she???05.jpg01.jpg 04.jpg02.jpg03.jpg
