Maternity Photos!
Maternity Photos!
Fun day in the sun with my baby and Hun! We finally took our maternity photos this past weekend on Saturday and Sunday. At first we were worried the rain might postpone our plans, but Lily summoned her lucky energy and brought our the sunshine! We also took advantage of this time to just have a nice outing and enjoy the outdoors and sunlight as well! Saturday (April 14th) Khoa and I grabbed our tripod and camera and when to the William R. Mason Regional Park in Irvine. It was pretty chilly outside, and windy, but we toughed it out and got some nice fun shots! We were going for a Pixar’s Up inspired theme for the photos at the park, and so we had some fun colorful balloons as props, and I wore a bright fun yellow dress for contrast! A reason why we wanted to do an “Up” theme was because we like to go on adventures together, so having a baby is our next BIG ADVENTURE we will face together, so it seems so appropriate! =) After we were done with the balloons, we gave them to a little girl and made her day! =) Khoa did such a great job with the self timer, it’s a good thing he can run fast! =)
After the park, we had had lunch at Le Diplomat and got milk tea at Cha for Tea! We met up with Jennifer and she then helped us with photos at the Corona Del Mar Beach in Newport! We chose the beach because one of our favorite vacation spots is Hawaii, and so we wanted to represent that in our photos in hopes to bring our baby dragon Lily to Hawaii with us one day when she’s older! The beach was super cold and windy, and I was really nervous the wind would not look good, but Jennifer assured me that the windy worked just fine! It was sure cold though, but worth it in the end from the shots we got!! Jennifer sure has a great eye, and we are greatly appreciative of her help!
On Sunday, we went to the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at Cal State University of Long Beach! I chose that place this is the year of the dragon, and the Japanese Garden has that Asian motif that fits our theme perfectly! Also, I just love the pond and the bridge, etc. Also, I wanted to print some of these photos and hang them in the dragon lair (nursery) for Lily to look at, and the garden had so many vibrant colors that I think Lily will really enjoy! Jennifer also helped us with these photos as well and once again, magnificent job! =) At one point during the pictures, I dropped a block into the pond, and luckily Khoa was able to swoop it out of the water before it went under the bridge! What a great save! Haha! Anyways, enough with reading, time for you to enjoy the photos! =) I plan to make some Cinemagraphs (animated photos) soon, so stay tuned for that!
