Happy summer and I hope everyone had a great, safe July 4th weekend. I was working part of the weekend for quarter-end close at work. But for the remaining part of the "long" weekend, Chris and I worked on our project we've been so excited to reveal. <br />
<br />
Ladies (and some gents), I'd like to introduce you to our blood, sweat and tears...<br />
<br />

This website is the representation of the journey we've had for the last few months. We've taken thousands of photographs, spent endless hours of photo editing, and just recently Chris and I pulled all nighters to build this site. Well, it's all paid off because I'm SO proud of the results. <br />
<br />
For those that's followed me from those days when I used to take OOTD's in my work bathroom, I thank you SO much for sticking around. You have no idea how much it means to me that you take the time to read my blog, comment on my clothes, and most recently, comment on our photos. We've had such a great journey so far and I can't wait to see where our new site and business takes us. <br />
<br />
With the new website comes a new blog. My friends, I'd be so honored if you'll take the time to <a href="http://www.cindiandchrisphotography.com/blog/">visit our new blog </a>and subscribe if you'd like to see our latest work. We've got some great things lined up so I hope you're just as excited as I am! Simply Cindi will still be up in the meantime, but our new blog is where I'll update more often. Don't worry though, the new blog will display most of our work, but I'm a firm believer that my potential clients and bloggy friends are just as interested in certain aspects of my personal life. Thus, I'll still be Simply Cindi if you will. <br />
<br />
So friends, come visit. Stay awhile and be merry! Mooches to everyone!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Within the review, they wrote:<br />
<br />
<i>"In addition to their attention to detail and artistic ability, they are an energetic and positive balance and such a pleasure to work with. Choose Cindi and Chris Photography and you'll be guaranteed to have your event documented in an artistic and balanced way. You might end up with a couple of friends as well. "</i><div><br />
</div><div>We were totally ecstatic about what they wrote, but what struck a chord to us was the last sentence. As we try to set our foundation for our business, we really want to make sure we not only gain our customer base, but also make friends along our journey. Last night, Chris and I went to dinner with <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/03/introducing-lucy-and-family.html">Lucy and family</a>. This was actually our second time getting together after our shoot and we just couldn't get enough of the beautiful Lucy herself as well as her wonderful family members. </div><div><br />

I know...classy eh??), and photo editing. And when it comes to photo editing on a Friday night, the photos themselves better be damn good ones to hold my attention. And good photos usually comes with cute couples. When it comes to cute couples, it doesn't get better than <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/04/couples-sneak-peak-alityler.html">Ali+Tyle</a>r. I'll let the slideshow speak for itself. Enjoy!<br />

I've been missing from the bloggy world for a few days and I have a really good reason why. I promise! One of my best friends from high school got married last weekend and you may all know her as Wai of <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/05/engagement-slideshow-waitats.html">Wai+Tatsumi</a>! In typical Seattle fashion, it poured down rain the whole day. But an hour before the ceremony started, the sun peeked through the clouds just a little bit. At least it stopped raining for their ceremony, even through the venue was prepared and let the tent down. <br />
<br />
I was so happy and honored to have stood up there by Wai as her Matron of Honor. Wai was my very FIRST friend I made in my high school where I started knowing almost no one. We've been through some thick and thin times, and our friendship, I'm sure, will always stay strong. I don't think I've ever seen her as happy as she is now. Tatsumi is her perfect compliment...just like Chris and I and we couldn't be more happy for these two love birds. We had our cameras on with us while we spent the day with the bride and groom, so I'd like to share some with you all.<br />
<br />

He was nervous, talkative (probably due to his nerves), and a little worried about his hair. Together, Shannon+Kevin were both slightly shy infront of the camera, but it didn't take them long to get comfortable. The<a href="http://jocson.wordpress.com/"> hubby</a> and I met Shannon+Kevin early this year while we were shooting <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/01/bonus-slm-rj-wedding-video.html">SaraLeigh+Ryan's wedding</a>. Kevin and Ryan grew up as childhood friends, but school brought Kevin to Austin, where he met Shannon. It must be our gorgeous weather that attracted the couple to decide to make Seattle their home, but I'm sure glad they did. These two lovebirds are getting married in August and we can't be more excited and flattered that they've chosen us to share it with them as their photogs. <br />
<br />
From getting stuck in a traffic jam, to getting lost on the way to Discovery Park, to talking endlessly about French pastries and cheap happy hours, we had so much fun with Shannon+Kevin, we sorta didn't want the day to end. But in the interest to not sound like we're weird and stalkerish, we'll just say this: Shannon+Kevin...we're so happy for you! And we can't wait for your special day. <br />

I am truly sorry for being a day late in announcing my one-year blogiversary giveaway winner. But Chris and I were knee deep in photo editing and celebrating Mother's Day. And before we knew it, Sunday just flew by. <br />
<br />
Anyhoo...without further ado...the winner of my giveaway is:<br />

I'm not sure how Jen found me in this vast bloggy world but I'm sure glad she did. She's such a sweet person and she always has such good insightful comments. I know she reads every word of every blog and I'm thankful for that. If Jen and I lived in the same city, we'd definitely be good girl friend. But until we meet, mate...we'll have to stay in touch through this blog! Congrats!!! Check your email! :)<br />
<br />
I mentioned above that <a href="http://jocson.wordpress.com/">the hubs</a> and I hung out with our parents this whole weekend. And in honor of Mother's Day...or just Parents Day in general...we'd like this share this video we specially made and played during our wedding. We didn't just want to make a speech for our parents at our reception, we wanted to do something more special than that. This video allowed us to show them, and our guests, how much they mean to us. So...enjoy!<br />

They weren't great drawings, of course, because I'm not a natural artist when it comes to drawing with my hands. I'm just not. My friends try to be nice and tell me I do fine, but I know the truth...and I don't mind it. And for the longest time, I thought I was a natural accountant. Meticulous, analytical, ordered, detailed...you name it. But as I got older, get to know myself a little better, and start to not be afraid of failure and what other people thought of me as much, I started to accept that I am indeed not a good accountant.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Don't get me wrong, I do my job well. I think I'm a hard worker and my parents have taught me great work ethics. But I'm not a natural at crunching numbers. In fact, most of the time when I open up an excel sheet, my mind goes blank for a second and my eyes go like this 0_0. I know I need to focus hard to get my job done right and it's just what I've learned to adapt to for the last 10 years of my professional working career.</div><div><br />
</div><div>What I believe I'm truly good at is looking at the big picture. I like to come up with ideas and put those ideas in place. I vibe off of people and connect with them easily. I LOVE spending time with people, catching up, getting to know about their lives. And I think that's why I value the blogging world so much. But it was not until recently that I realized what I've been doing all my professional life is not what I was meant to do. I believe realizing this doesn't mean I'm going to quit, or that my last 10 years as an accountant was a waste. I am thankful for my experience and will continue to stay in this career for as long as I need to. I just came to terms with reality...and my true love.</div><div><br />
</div><div>My true love is photography and capturing moments in people's lives. The energy and joy I get out of holding my camera with a couple that are in love is indescribable. Well, I can't convey it in words, but for those that's reading this and also live their life for their passion, you know exactly how I feel. :) I went back to my <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html">very first post I blogged</a> and this is a direct copy and paste:<br />
<br />
<i>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Photography is something I fell in love with after I met Chris. He’s an artsy accounting auditor which I didn’t think existed but apparently they do! I’m currently not very good at it but have invested in a great Canon 7D to start perfecting this skill. I will definitely be sharing with ya’ll some great pics if I get the chance to catch some."</span></i><br />

</div><div>Looking back at my year of blogging, I've come full circle I guess. :) <br />

It sure feels that way to me, especially this week. It's financial closing at work, which means long hours. But I'm not complaining because my company and coworkers are awesome and as long as you're hanging out with people you like, it doesn't feel like work!<br />

<a href="http://confessionsofacallcentergal.blogspot.com/2011/05/irish-fortune-cookies-and-bloggie.html">Lisa of Confessions of a Call Center Gal</a> awarded me with the Versatile Bloggie Award today. I'm very flattered and I think I'm supposed to state 7 things about myself. You all know a lot about m e already, but I'll try my best to come up with something good:<br />
<br />
1. I LOVE Chipotle and can eat it every night for dinner. My order of choice: chicken salad with rice, black beans, mild and hot salsa, corn salsa, sour cream and guac!<br />
<br />
2. I don't like the taste of mint! Not real mint, but the artificial kind. As such, I hate to chew gum. But for brushing teeth, I prefer the mint toothpaste. Weird, I know!<br />
<br />
3. I was born left handed but was forced to become right handed when I was a kid. Being a leftie in China was a no no!<br />
<br />
4. Oftentimes with kids that are left handed, they stammered. And so did I! But it stopped after I moved to the US and learned English.<br />
<br />
5. I baby talk to my cat and dog. I know..sad right?<br />
<br />
6. When I get nervous, my twitch is I peel the skin of my thumb. It sounds gross, but most of the time I don't even know I'm doing it.<br />
<br />
7. In the last 10 years of my life, I've moved more than 10 times to either different apartments or different cities. It may seem I'm a commitment phobe when it comes to settling down, but that's not really the case. It just so happens that I HAD to move for whatever reason. :)<br />
<br />
There! Interesting? No? Hehe...either way, this was fun. Thank you, Lisa for selecting me.

And I'm going to try to address it the best way I know how here. I still struggle with natural light and always have to remind myself to think about the use of light and light reflectors. I'm going to go out on a limb to say that as soon as you start thinking about effectively using light when you're taking photos, you've elevated to the next level of photography...whatever that level might be. <br />
<br />
I like to keep things simple, so lets just start by talking about THE one thing you should avoid when taking outdoor photos. Yes...and that's right people...one thing to avoid is direct sunlight. What??? I know...it's totally counter intuitive to what we've all been doing this whole time. But I'm sure everyone's had that situation when using a point and shoot with friends...you have them stand...take the shot and find that your friends are totally black. So...what do we do? We instinctively tell them to turn around towards the sun while you run around them to take the shot. They, naturally, squint because they're now facing the sun...but you've got them in the photo...nice and clear. Right? <br />
<br />
Well, if you really studied the photo, you'll not only notice that they're squinting, but you'll notice harsh shadows from their noses, eye sockets and lips on their faces caused from the sun beaming on them. This is really something a lot of people struggle with and if you take away only one thing from this blog, let it be to always face your subjects <b>away</b> from the sun. To avoid them becoming dark, do what is also counter intuitive to you. And that is to use your flash...even though it's bright daylight. On a point and shoot this is an easy way to avoid harsh lighting. On a DSLR, you can also use your on camera pop-up flash but for serious photographers, consider a higher end <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=canon+580ex+ii&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=9941047996253606094&sa=X&ei=ZKi_TdfvF5C6sAP759WTCA&ved=0CGYQ8wIwAA#">hot shoe flash</a>.<br />
<br />
The optimal lighting, in my opinion, is a slightly overcast day, which is not a problem here at all in Seattle. When the sun is behind clouds, the light from it is perfectly diffused, creating a HUGE shadowed area everywhere you go. On these days, regardless of how you pose your subjects, there won't be any harsh shadows on their faces. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixudC2IXhWi0R9a4Dg_NRdlAxv_vg6B4xveb6R4JwOTp257MC5l0kCI61GI4AbrRLFoKB-9mYJhJiIwPpXpSsTeN-DkzMMigVPBA8cvvjcaGoa4XSB5FD9_EBWXtVWFPunGf2lWcsHj7QU/s1600/5.2._5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixudC2IXhWi0R9a4Dg_NRdlAxv_vg6B4xveb6R4JwOTp257MC5l0kCI61GI4AbrRLFoKB-9mYJhJiIwPpXpSsTeN-DkzMMigVPBA8cvvjcaGoa4XSB5FD9_EBWXtVWFPunGf2lWcsHj7QU/s640/5.2._5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>On a sunny day, if you can control your environment and subject, try to find a shaded area to position your subject. Below Jill was standing in between two sculptures that created a nice area of shade but I made sure I positioned her close to the end of the sculptures, near where the sunlight would appear, so she gets enough light reflected back onto her. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This photo below is a perfect example of harsher sun. If you look closely, you'll see that Josh is squinting just a little bit and there are some shadows on both of their faces. Not only that, their skin is a little over exposed, washing both of them out slightly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTEAmnpp6jEd-jTrUUcYaVhZcPJcUMorsb0QIdmxsN8p9T9nAknwE1p0tZGtp94KdSwplwg5v6t8JKYajIb3FP5Rulexc15MT3mDkXJAkpKMqfphzrZ2v8M2PrNITgAML94J0i6Meth9pi/s1600/5.2._2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTEAmnpp6jEd-jTrUUcYaVhZcPJcUMorsb0QIdmxsN8p9T9nAknwE1p0tZGtp94KdSwplwg5v6t8JKYajIb3FP5Rulexc15MT3mDkXJAkpKMqfphzrZ2v8M2PrNITgAML94J0i6Meth9pi/s640/5.2._2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>To solve this, we simply went on the other side of them and had them turn around towards us slightly. During this time of day, the light was to our camera right, which is why Josh's forehead is still a little bit over exposed due to the sun since he was looking towards the right a little more than Karen was. But Karen's face is perfectly shadow free and beautiful. Also, the sunlight gave her hair a wonderful shine to it. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXUIJxf7HBL4eRbxrZvhS13vnznxyFGodrGiJMy23m5zus0KZS5t_8OGlMF0AsJmx1xIazMA3JpXm7Jj4X5qO6WoSwuZ8MO_L_dlBYE3UjK8ztpy0OnLQEo3h04lZ2L8xVIzHqeEBpl5j/s1600/5.2._3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXUIJxf7HBL4eRbxrZvhS13vnznxyFGodrGiJMy23m5zus0KZS5t_8OGlMF0AsJmx1xIazMA3JpXm7Jj4X5qO6WoSwuZ8MO_L_dlBYE3UjK8ztpy0OnLQEo3h04lZ2L8xVIzHqeEBpl5j/s640/5.2._3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>In the below photo, again, the sunlight was hitting us on our camera right. We wanted to include the water in our picture, so we made sure we faced Karen away from the sun and Josh slightly side lit. To help a bit more with lighting bouncing back onto them, we also used a <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=photo+reflector&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=4032152022827608315&sa=X&ei=p6W_TZquFI-isAO5ktCTCA&ved=0CEIQ8wIwAA#">reflector</a> which I was holding while Chris took this shot. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUmIm12b0J0sDfLhB3UB9Y2S8NFFc1n6FDcqTY3IpUyoSN-Snbubth3p8EgtWj1fRFSpSKcpag5JiPbk9_jemLnFdtFNkno0B7vSiXvyytnoVSt5afE-xi4d6FnDVKiMjrnG4lvJFbdWII/s1600/5.2._1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUmIm12b0J0sDfLhB3UB9Y2S8NFFc1n6FDcqTY3IpUyoSN-Snbubth3p8EgtWj1fRFSpSKcpag5JiPbk9_jemLnFdtFNkno0B7vSiXvyytnoVSt5afE-xi4d6FnDVKiMjrnG4lvJFbdWII/s640/5.2._1.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>Now with all that said, I do have to say one of the best times to shoot IN the sun would be an hour or two before sunset. When the sun is back lit behind your subjects at this time creates such a romantic setting, it's much too hard to describe in this entry. I'll do a separate special post about it at a later time.<br />
<br />
I understand you can't always be in the shade or have it be an overcast day when you're taking photos. But learning how to position your subjects in a strategic way can help take your photos up another level. The next time you're out with friends, try incorporating the use of light and play around positioning and hopefully you'll see a difference in your pics!Cindihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11848440319205474182noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574709881657676926.post-80090329639933248212011-05-02T17:36:00.000-07:002011-05-02T17:36:15.876-07:00Engagement Slideshow: Wai+TatsLess than two weeks and counting until Wai+Tats tie the knot.

This past Saturday, spring decided to peek through the rain clouds to show itself to the world. The hubs and I, along with Jill and Justin (sister and brother-in-laws), decided we'd take a stroll in the park at the Washington Arboretum and Seattle's Sculpture Park. <br />

For those that don't know, I started this blog partly because I was inspired by Kim. Her blog was one of the first blogs EVER that I followed and she was one of the first people that truly made me take a better look at my own sense of style. I loved how I got to sit down and see a glimpse of her life over in Chicago, while I was in my little condo in Seattle. The blogging world has brought nothing but a level of happiness in my life...so here's to blogging! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Many of you know this week I started my new job. It's been great so far. I've already learned a lot and my new coworkers all seem to be awesome people. This job so far has given me the feel of accountability, challenge, and ownership that I was looking for from my last job. And that's a great feeling. There is one catch though...this job requires longer hours. Not a lot more...but enough to make a difference. I've said before that I'm not a morning person. And let me tell you...waking up half an hour early has taken a toll on me. I know...I know...I'm a wuss right? I just need some time to adjust to the new schedule, then I'm good. Next week is my first monthly close and in the accounting world, that means OVERTIME! I will try to post as much as I can...but word has it that I'll be working at least 12 hours a day next week. Eeeek!<div><br />
</div><div>In the meantime though, I've started to try to make my workplace as comfy as I can. I hate the feeling of always using a paper cup for coffee everyday even though the company provides it, so I went and got some of these:</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHp6hUZmjBFX5fL_oMgRb_lzAAkL19UI8EpvVN8ThOwddZj6Jp7rzMbEuhOaPmestf3N5hZpV31Sld4b1E__M21V154oSnp9AfI97Z2kOOodvILV6TuncbYyZFUcEnW2hUrIHwC4Ms7gY_/s1600/4.28.11_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHp6hUZmjBFX5fL_oMgRb_lzAAkL19UI8EpvVN8ThOwddZj6Jp7rzMbEuhOaPmestf3N5hZpV31Sld4b1E__M21V154oSnp9AfI97Z2kOOodvILV6TuncbYyZFUcEnW2hUrIHwC4Ms7gY_/s640/4.28.11_1.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div>I got the "C" and "J" for home and the "X" for work because I loved the baby blue color and "X" is the first letter of my legal Chinese name. I can't wait to carry this mug around into meeting rooms. I bet it'll get a bunch of comments! :)</div><div><br />
</div><div>My last job didn't require me to get a laptop, but this one did. So this also gave me the opportunity to get this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9vKDu2U5ISj04whZT4e1WupENLiVehTyQwKYYtb1jbTNeZJPnZcoyv7wpYA8nP3qqrbTtUE7SaIGgTzajrnWM9L4XLwRWdd0K7zoV8MKnNO3wjTVhMeTfimHQgsJ7nbEStK7pk7EZrR7/s1600/4.28.11-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV9vKDu2U5ISj04whZT4e1WupENLiVehTyQwKYYtb1jbTNeZJPnZcoyv7wpYA8nP3qqrbTtUE7SaIGgTzajrnWM9L4XLwRWdd0K7zoV8MKnNO3wjTVhMeTfimHQgsJ7nbEStK7pk7EZrR7/s640/4.28.11-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div>This bag will comfortably fit my laptop no problem. I love a good, stylish bag for a career woman. And the mustard color is just so lovely. </div><div><br />
</div><div>As you can tell, I've been pretty busy the last couple of days. Busy SHOPPING! :) What have you all bought lately? </div><div><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">That was my greeting to you, almost one year ago, when I started this little blog of mine. I mentioned in my last post that I had a surprise celebration to share with everyone, and despite much speculation from my friends and followers, I'm sorry to report that I am not expecting! :) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br />
I am, however, hosting a giveaway to celebrate my one year blogiversary. If you've been following me for the last year, you already know a lot about me...and what a year I've had. From getting married, to buying a new house, to starting my photography business, to changing jobs...I've documented it all on this blog. I'm so thankful for my followers and those that comment. You guys are the reasons why I keep going. I seriously do not realize how many people out there follow this little blog and I know I take that for granted. I'm always astonished when someone says they follow my life on here, and to that...I thank you.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzASgzQVhCT9NP7FiwiDY2gQ8NXSxE3CsuUSkWcoe_7EYDnHhoO9krOg7AWRuTXd8cT4lrNZ8GqpAMITW8WOnM3hZXCQf4DAW6xAjtSef18hpIreMHIeep8S0x6Qp5DTghqQG2jqxJ5n00/s1600/Giveaway-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzASgzQVhCT9NP7FiwiDY2gQ8NXSxE3CsuUSkWcoe_7EYDnHhoO9krOg7AWRuTXd8cT4lrNZ8GqpAMITW8WOnM3hZXCQf4DAW6xAjtSef18hpIreMHIeep8S0x6Qp5DTghqQG2jqxJ5n00/s640/Giveaway-4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br />

For those that want to enter, the prize will be an 8X10 printed canvas of your choice of one of the photos below. You can choose to hang these anywhere...maybe in your closet or above your shoe collection! Chris and I spent this whole weekend traveling all around the Seattle Puget Sound area to try to come up with the perfect photograph of my favorite pair of Anthro shoes, and we think we finally were able to capture it in two photos. I couldn't pick between the two favorites, so I decided that the winner will choose.<br />

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that we split everything down the middle or we need to keep track of how many photos we each edit. It's not like that at all. If we were to sweat the small stuff like that, our business would never thrive. However, one of the most important things we believe we must do to grow our business was to decide that both of us would be present at every photo shoot. We believe this is one of the key things that'll help set us aside from all the other photographers in our market.<div><br />
</div><div>We understood that the typical wedding package usually offered two photographers. It's totally understandable because in order to capture so many needed moments during a wedding, there usually needs to be two people around. We carry this same philosophy to our portrait and engagement sessions because even shooting a single person, or a couple, we find having an alternate perspective helps the overall feel of the session.</div><div><br />
</div><div>To give you a better look at what I mean, below is a couple of pictures we took during our photo session with <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/04/engagement-slideshow-karenjosh.html">Karen+Josh.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXW-iNbVo9CgG1fUABm4lvWwI_vrvCEOQ8pWIV4MHFMFAbD0hfiBk0zrlXrRwZNHRD4GTzGGK9HcPWwZv_xTV3pTChoSdy6qVyO5Mpcx4K25D7i2b0oSySsl-NV6khPxlI6Q8Q6C9U2_Vd/s1600/K%252BJ-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXW-iNbVo9CgG1fUABm4lvWwI_vrvCEOQ8pWIV4MHFMFAbD0hfiBk0zrlXrRwZNHRD4GTzGGK9HcPWwZv_xTV3pTChoSdy6qVyO5Mpcx4K25D7i2b0oSySsl-NV6khPxlI6Q8Q6C9U2_Vd/s640/K%252BJ-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

We gave Karen+Josh minimal instruction and kind of just left them to be themselves. Meanwhile, we simply positioned our cameras to our eye...and started shooting. The look and feel of these two photos are both different due to our perspective, but they were actually standing in the same place, with almost the same pose. We ended up delivering these two photos and included these in their engagement slide show.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This past weekend, during our session with <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/04/portraits-stephanie-take-two.html">Stephanie</a>, we shot the following photos:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGumFd-UitTo6L20sI5NSIGBZQJIkSlJM_08s5nKhUDyEFjpNFkQE-xaUkWInb4APJB5INKYco9VU5LUAuDt3VYDbanN4XmepOUaSC5-j7TdZ3KWw9uZrmfRUGEz9tOLKgIUaq-pQjgvBy/s1600/Stephanie+Blog+4.21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGumFd-UitTo6L20sI5NSIGBZQJIkSlJM_08s5nKhUDyEFjpNFkQE-xaUkWInb4APJB5INKYco9VU5LUAuDt3VYDbanN4XmepOUaSC5-j7TdZ3KWw9uZrmfRUGEz9tOLKgIUaq-pQjgvBy/s640/Stephanie+Blog+4.21.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Chris was on the porch standing slightly behind Stephanie. While he asked her to look at his camera, I took the first shot. We ended up liking both shots and will be giving Steph both of these for her to keep. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I know it's not always practical to have two shooters at every session, but Chris and I are lucky in that we are partners and can afford to spend our time together with our subjects. We hope to continue this for as long as our schedules will allow us as we believe we provide our clients with the best end product this way. </div><div><br />

It was a beautiful day and we got to spend it with Steph at Discovery Park. For many people, being photographed is an extremely uncomfortable thing to do. Not only does one need to pose specifically in a sometimes awkward position for a long time, most often they're also infront of complete strangers gawking at them. Stephanie was completely self aware of the strangers around her and was so shy at first, but as we moved towards a more secluded area of the park, she started to loosen up. <br />
<br />
At one point she asked us, "Am I one of the most annoying people you've ever worked with?" To that, Steph, I answer, NO! But I will tell you one thing, you are what I call an "unknowing natural". And by this, I mean the camera loves you and you do not even realize this. Steph, we were able to capture you in such a beautiful light, and most of the time, they were just naturally your own unposed self. It's just ridiculous to even try to explain to you how UNannoying that is. Not to say you didn't make us work hard...but it was worth it. :)<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

When I was young, I loved feeling the inside of my nose because the prickly hairs felt soooo good against my finger. Specifically, this is what I'll do. I liked to use my left pinky finger and insert it into my right nostril. I then would nicely stroke the hairs on the inside outer wall of the nose. I can do that for a lonnnnng time...sometimes hours. And I remember my mom once said to me, "If you continue to do this, no man will want to marry you". I think that did the trick and that was when I tried hard to break the habit. But even now, every time I see someone pick their nose or doing anything remotely close to what I did, it brings back some lovely memories of me and my little habit. <br />

I love everything about this little venture we're taking on. From the beautiful parks and locations we've discovered around Seattle, to the most amazing people we've met and have gotten close to, I realized that this is what life is all about. Not that life's about pictures, but more about doing what you love, with the person you love. Putting together this slideshow for <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2011/03/sneak-peak-karen-josh.html">Karen+Josh</a> reminded me of that amazing day we had with them again. We sat in the coffee shop near Golden Garden's park for about a good hour or two, just chatting with the couple and discussing their wedding details further. Once our session ended, I really felt like I wanted to just grab a beer with them. Maybe once we deliver their final DVD of photos, we'll get to spend a little more time with this cute couple. But for now...we hope you enjoy the slideshow!<br />

P.S. The hubby and I received Karen+Josh's wedding invitations in the mail earlier last week and we were so surprised to find that she used one of our pictures we took as part of the invites! She also acknowledged us on the back, so WE LOVE YOU GUYS for that! :) Muwah...we love you and can't wait to party with you on your special day.<br />

The <a href="http://jocson.wordpress.com/">hubby</a> and I are still trying to perfect our post production workflow, but I realized after going through these photos again, how much I love doing this. This...meaning becoming a photographer. Seeing one photo after another on the screen seriously is not the same as seeing it flow nicely with music in the background that help define the couple and their relationship. And as I looked through these photos again, then seeing it all put together in the slideshow, it reminded me how great a relationship Diana+Jesse has. We had so much fun with them and I seriously am excited to deliver their DVD...because that means we get to meet up...and hopefully we get happy hour! <br />
<br />
Diana+Jesse, enjoy this little slideshow and since we know you did not get a chance to do an engagement session, we hope this "everyday session" meant just as much...because it meant a lot to us. :)<br />

Literally! He's one of the smartest man I know and I'm not just saying it because I'm his daughter. OK...so maybe I'm a little biased. But seriously, he knows a lot about everything. When I was younger, I used to look up to him so much. Kids had Superman as their heroes, but my dad WAS my Superman.<br />
<br />
My dad's one of those people that excels at everything he does. When he took the TOEFL (an academic test for students outside the US to test their understanding of English to get into the Universities here)...he scored number one in his Province in China. He graduated Summa Cum Laude in his Ph.D of Electrical Engineering class and when he played soccer in college, he was the number one guy on his team. Until about 10 years ago, he has never picked up a drill or any other tool in his life. When I graduated from college, he wanted to get me a nice bed as a gift. He decided to take a look at Macy's but as he started to look at their prices, he decided that rather than buying me a bed, he can make one for me! Fast forward ten years and countless furniture projects later (including a <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2010/07/polka-dots-and-purple-flowers.html">deck projec</a>t for our new house)...he brought me this today:<br />

This is not your typical bachelorette as the bride-to-be herself requested that we have a). a relaxing weekend and b). no strippers. :) We're all at an age where if we were to take about 2 shots each, we'd drop dead. So we just decided to enjoy our weekend with some nice wine tasting. <br />
<div><br />
</div><div>The big event for the weekend was the limo wine tour and we had such a great time. Out of all the girls, I probably was the heaviest drinker (I do love my wine) but by the end of the four hour tour, even I was starting to feel a hangover coming on. But it was fun nonetheless, and that night after all of us rested a bit, we all cooked Wai and nice dinner themed with her favorite foods. She was a happy camper and we all had so much fun. Here are some pictures that'll help sum up our weekend!<br />

She was one of my first friends I made in high school and we remain close friends to this day. When she told me she met a guy named Kai (pronounced Khy like Why...not Kay), I knew they were destined to be together. After all, their names are almost identical! Of course I soon found out that Kai was his middle name and his first name is Tatsumi (but most people call him Tats...like tater tots...got it yet??), I still felt like they were a couple made for one another. <br />
<br />
You may remember Wai+Tat's post <a href="http://simplycindi.blogspot.com/2010/06/monday-monday-monday.html">here</a> that I did when he proposed to her last June. Fast forward almost a year and we're a month away from their wedding. They're getting married on May 15th in Washington's wine country at a beautiful, quaint venue and Wai graciously asked me to be her Matron of Honor. Thinking back to the day I first saw Wai in high school, I could never have imagined at that time that we'd end up here. She was part of my wedding and I can not be happier to be apart of hers. It's comforting to know that she's found such a suitable mate for herself. He's the yin to her yang, the sugar to her spice, the memory to her lack of memory! :) I tease Wai all the time for her forgetfulness, but I seriously believe she's forgetful because she's so carefree. From now on, she has Tats to lean on, and I can not see her with a better man.<br />
<br />
Wai+Tats already have their wedding photographer hired but we really wanted to also take some pictures for them. This time of year, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully and there's only a short window of time before they're all gone. Our University of Washington (the alma mater to Wai, Tats, Chris and myself) campus is famous for our cherry blossoms and that's what Wai+Tats requested. We started off at Pike's Place Market though and the theme of the day was PEOPLE! We could not get away from the massive amount of people everywhere we went, but we tried to make it work. The results? Well, see for yourself below. :)<br />

Those of you that's followed me for a while probably know that in addition to being an Antropologie-holic, an aspiring photographer, I'm also an accountant. I graduated college with an accounting degree and have since remained in that field. I know there's this stereotype out there, of an accountant and how nerdy or anal they are. I am a little nerdy, but I'm not your typical accountant. I love working in teams, I love strategizing and I'm social. That's why when I landed at the public accounting firms, I thought I could actually do this accounting thing for a long time. In the accounting firms, we worked in teams to fulfill our client's needs. The work was often projects, lasted about two months or so, and we worked hard in small groups. But that soon ended when November of 2009 rolled around and I was laid off from my position.<br />
<br />
I spent the next three months endlessly hunting for another job. I've never been fired or laid off from a job before and I am one of those people that can't recognize failure, so being part of a workforce reduction was a bit of a blow for my ego. I've since come to terms with it and accepted that the decision to lay me off was not due to my work quality. And my managers and partners at my previous firm have actually told me themselves after I was let go. One senior manager even asked me to return. Then in February of 2010, my current company gave me an opportunity when I most needed it. They gave me a job.<br />
<br />
I soon came to realize, though, that the golf industry and the hospitality business was not one I wanted to stay in for a long time. The work itself was not challenging, and my office environment was so small and political, it just wasn't healthy. So folks, to make a long story short, I've found a new opportunity. I'd love to sit here and tell you guys that I've taken photography full time, but I can't quite yet. :) Instead, I'll tell you that the new opportunity I found is something I'm pretty excited for. It's still in the accounting field, but it's in a much exciting industry...a much younger industry. The expectation is that I'll be working longer hours, but I really don't mind doing that as long as I enjoy the company and people I work with. My first day with the new company is April 25th and I'm super excited. I feel like I'm finally at a place in my career where I'm fitting perfectly, and can enjoy it. <br />
<br />
With this new opportunity and with the new photography business, the hubby and I are staying quite busy. Don't worry, we haven't stopped appreciating the little things in life...and we definitely value the small amount of free time we do have with one another. But the thing is, photography is something we both love and we both wouldn't do it if the other person wasn't there. I foresee our schedules to be extremely busy with the upcoming wedding season and you readers will see some great posts. But for those that I follow, you'll probably see less commenting from me. Rest assured that I'm still reading and keeping up on my google reader. <br />
<br />
For those that take the time out to leave a comment on my blog, I thank you so much and look forward to you guys stopping by every time I have a new post. And for those silent, but supportive followers, I ADORE you guys for sticking around. There will be a lot more fun things coming up. Thank you for all of your support!Cindihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11848440319205474182noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574709881657676926.post-13262142956329805252011-04-04T23:44:00.000-07:002011-04-04T23:48:33.280-07:00Couples Sneak Peak: Ali+TylerWell folks, I'm back with full force! While it was a nice break from blogging, I must have to say, I missed the whole bloggy world. I have some news tomorrow to share with everyone that'll help explain part of the reason why I've been missing for the last week, so make sure to stay tuned for that.<br />
<br />
Now onto something much more fun! This past Saturday, <a href="http://jocson.wordpress.com/">Chris</a> and I were lucky enough to spend the afternoon with Ali+Tyler at Marymoore Park in Seattle's east side neighborhood. I met Ali about two years ago at a company potluck hosted by Chris' boss at the time and I immediately felt a connection with her. She's one of those gals I felt comfortable with from the beginning because she's funny, warm and a great listener. She, along with Tyler, are my heroes. Why? Because they help foster kittens for shelters so they get a chance to get adopted by a good family. They eventually say goodbye to almost every kitten they foster, and I know how hard that can be. Ali keeps a blog herself and you can find out more about <a href="http://www.alifurtwangler.com/">her and Tyler's life here.</a><br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Ali+Tyler were college sweethearts and met in the dorms at Michigan State University. Within three months they graduated, got married, and moved to Seattle for Tyler's job. Although they had beautiful wedding pictures taken, they never had the opportunity to take engagement photos. And this upcoming June will be their 3rd year wedding anniversary. Chris and I hope that these photos will help them document this time in their lives and we're so appreciative that they've allowed us to spend their Saturday with them. </div><br />
