2007: 'Z' BEST MOMENTS

I noticed that some wedding photographers posted some of their best wedding images of 2007 so I decided to chip into this tradition.

LEKE'S TWENTY "SOMETHING" BIRTHDAY

Over the weekend, I was given the privilege to shoot a friend's surprise birthday party. Even though I don't know his 'real' age, we had tons of fun. He is such good friend.

VALENTINE EVENT PHOTO SHOOT

I was asked to design a flyer for a valentine banquet event schedule in February. After the final design draft we came out with something very unique and fresh. More pictures and updates soon :D

MICHEAL JACKSON COMEBACK?

INTERESTING POINT

2008 is "VICTORY"

GAME NIGHT

It's always fun when you gather "a bunch of people" into one place to play the Taboo board game. We invited some friends over to our humble home over the weekend which turned out amazing. Even though the boys won the game the girls were so competitive to the point that the game turned aggressive.

FIRST BOOK OF THE YEAR: BOOK No.1

My first book to read for the year is John Maxwell's "Talent is Never Enough". I picked up this book at a local Barnes & Noble. Due to my super crash schedule I will be posting what I learned from the book.

If you noticed, I took this picture with a "smart phone" which is not too bad. This year is looking good already.

2008: THE YEAR TO CROSSOVER

I am thankful to God All Mighty for 2007. 2007 was full of spiritual, physical, well being, relationship and business growth. And I know 2008 will bring forth more than 2007 with God's Direction.

The Garner's Family

At the end of December, I had the pleasure of shooting a great family right at my studio in my house.

This family has a special place in my heart. I admire their strength, courage, and relationship with one another. Truly, I can only hope to achieve this type of bond with my future family - the little SARUMIs! Jillian, Duane, Jordan, Miles, Grant - thanks for allowing me to take your pics. I had a blast!

The Super Family

After the wedding of one of my favorite couple. I was asked to shoot one of the greatest family in the world. Few hours after church they came over to our studio for a quick portrait session.

Two flash strobes was set 45 degrees apart from the subjects plus the on camera flash created the effect I was looking for. The flash strobe on camera left was set at TTL, the other flash on camera right was set at TTL plus -2/3 stop, and the on-camera flash was set at TTL plus -1 stop. This setup allowed me to create a more colorful and more natural ambient light to the photographs.

Kimberly and Martin Wedding

Photographed the last wedding of 2007 last weekend, and i was assisted by a wonderful photographer Wale Photos. Kimberly and Martin were married during a beautiful ceremony with an intimate wedding party of 6. The bride made her own wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses as well.

The ceremony took place at a Roman Catholic Church in Baltimore, The Shrine Of The Sacred Heart. We were able to photograph the ceremony without using flash. No flash/artificial lighting was permitted during the ceremony.

The reception took place at The Inn at Government House. It is a beautiful, small atmospheric inn housed in a 1889 Victorian Mansion , and was decorated with antiques & antique reproductions.
