Home can be a great option to have your family photos taken because it’s a comfortable and familiar environment.

Lifestyle: Morning Coffee
It's important to remember the small moments. The ones that seem so regular, so basic. The everyday norm. Those are the small collection of seconds that create minutes and in turn, fill up an hour.
December is usually the time for taking big group photos at gatherings but I continue to remind myself to be present and savour the limited time I spend with each person. Those moments are precious and it's reason enough to capture them.
Lifestyle: Saturday Morning At Home
Well, it's December and it may be chilly for outdoor photo sessions so a great option is to have photos taken in the comfort of your home. It's a relaxing, comfortable environment and of course, much warmer and cozier.
Not a bad way to wake up on a Saturday morning.

I love moments like these.
Toasting and celebrating. Just because.
Small Business Portrait: Love Lettering by Doris Wai
We sat over lunch at our go-to cafe, catching up on the busyness of summer and wedding season. Doris shared her experience and gave words of encouragement. Because she knew the feeling. She's been there.
I had the privilege of meeting Doris, the artist behind Love Lettering, when I photographed her sister's wedding a few years ago. She created all the beautiful hand-lettered pieces like the seating chart and signage.
Last year, when I was planning my own wedding, Doris designed beautiful menu cards and a math-themed, chalkboard seating chart for us. I still have that seating chart in all its glory.
What makes Doris' work stand out to me is that she's able to letter for different occasions and on all types of surfaces. I've seen her work in person and I'm always amazed at what she comes up with.
As we finished lunch, she reminded to go for it and to work hard at what I love to do because it would be worth it.
