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.

Cannot believe it is almost June!!!! So excited for my favorite season,  summer!1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg4.jpg5.jpg7.jpg6.jpgk- 

Our Beautiful Coffee Table Book

May 2nd, 2009

One of the most frequently asked questions from our clients I get all the time right after showing them our online galleries is:”what do I do with all these images???”There are so many ways to enjoy your memories that are captured as images. Like: wall displays, digital files, making photo charm necklaces, slide shows on a DVD… etc. But there is nothing like making a coffee table book like below. It is my specialty - I love to design  ”one of a kind custom design books” for you.  0502_coffeetablebook_720.jpgI will ask you what your favorite images are from the gallery and make designs with them. Usually I can include all images from the gallery. Yes! I said ALL images. But sometimes, (if you have more than the usual number of images in the gallery), I will have to leave some out.The book shown is a 12×12 album and has 30 pages. It is beautifully printed on professional photographic paper and mounted on 2mm heavy weight leaves. I usually bring this album to the sessions so that you can view and feel the beauty of this product. I just wanted to show you a sneak peek of it today as I send this out to the client.Isn’t it something???-k

April 23rd, 2009

it has been a year since we moved from Boston. i never had a chance to take a close look at my surroundings during this season yet. now that everything has been settled down, i just realized how beautiful it is here. it was almost 80 degrees last weekend and my lawn mowers came twice already this month. it almost felt like summer yesterday when we had this wonderful session.meet “m” and “r”. It was so nice to be out and to welcome their favorite time of the year. it was amazing how well they amused each other. perfect weather+happy faces = perfect combination!can not wait to see them again for a family session!-k
