Happy Thanksgiving !

After we bought out first house three years ago, we started our own tradition of having my side of family over for Thanksgiving lunch at our place because Andy's family have their traditional Turkey Dinner every year. It's busiest time of the year for me, but I had a great time cooking for my family this year. I am not a big fan of turkey meat and so are my family, but what's Thanksgiving without roasted turkey so I decided to make turkey this year. I used french reciepe for my turkey this year. My lemon cheese cake with lemon curd was big hit. I am so proud of myself for making my first cheesecake so perfect. I enjoy cooking, but I am not experieced baker because I really don't like sweets. Here are some photos of my non-traditional thanksgiving meal. Bear with me for not so professional photos. I was busy cooking!

Few side dishes;

Sunday in Pacific Palisades

I normally don't set up any session on Sunday, but this time of year. I try to do best I can to accomdate my clients' to help them create their lovely holiday cards. As you know, we have been having London weather in Los Angeles for a while. So I was worried when I saw the weather forcast for Sunday. But sky lighten up with gorgeous glow by the time we were ready to shoot. Sarah & Jenna are two very sweet and goreous girls. They are both so well-mannered and polite. Andy and I could not stop talking about these girls on our way home. Emily, the oldest sister is studying in Paris so we decided to do separate shots of girls for this year's holiday card. Emily will be e-mailing me of her portrait shot by her boyfriend in Paris. I think the weather worked out well so we can match California weather to Paris. Can't wait to see their holiday card put together!

Lola Fair & Baby J.

I am in my busiest season of the year where I stay up until 3 am editing and out to work again in the morning. I don't know when is last time I did anything for myself, but I had a very refreshing experience last Sunday. I got to see Lola Fair & Baby J. perform live at HANACC. What a talent!

I have known Baby J. for a while now and every time I hear her sing, I am just in awe.
As you can see she is a very beautiful and talented young lady. She is very humble and kind. She definitely breaks your perception of a "pretty girl" who wants everything her way. She isn't materialistic and I don't sometimes even think that she wants fame & money. She is so real. She just wants to be able to do what she loves! I truly hope that her dreams come true. If you are a talent agent out there and looking for a real thing, here is your chance!

Please support Lola Fair & Baby J. Please check out Lola Fair & Baby J. online! Jeanie (Baby J) & Youmee (Lola Fair) has been doing this for a long time and they just produced a new album "Digital Love". If you would like to purchase their "Signed" album, please contact me, I will forward your message to her.
