Today was absolutely awful. Windy, rainy. My husband is stuck at New york airport, waiting to come back. Ugh!<br /><br />Fortunately, last week, when the temperature was in the 70's, I took the kids to Lake Cochituate, and we captured the last beauty of the fall. So lucky!<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog136.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog137.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-2351849952361567636?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-53506937370363720162009-09-06T17:31:00.000-07:002009-09-06T17:35:10.443-07:00My little girl is, well, no longer a little girl.

Her dress is simply gorgeous. We had the session at Belmont Reserve. It was a beautiful day. Probably the last chance to wear sassy summer dress before the leaves turning red and winter coming again(oh no!). Some sneak peeks for the anxious mom and grandma.

Does her hair style remind you someone? I think she looks like Jacqueline in the 60's.

Since it was so cold, the kids lost patience early. The little girl was cranky, her mom called it a nightmare day. They had to apologize to me, I had to apologize to them. But look at the pictures! Did you see any coldness?? The girls were in their dresses, smiling beautifully. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog114.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog115.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog117.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog118.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog119.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog120.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog121.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog122.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog123.jpg"><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog124.jpg"><br /><br />Just noticed all the pictures are vertical.

They were so lovely. I tried to capture some laughters of S, the big brother. He told me the only way to make him laugh is to tickle him. I wish I had an extra arm with my other two holding the camera. Oh well, I probably need an assistant. <br /><br />The little one really enjoyed the running and peek a boo behind tree, these tricks always work on young kids. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog110.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog111.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog112.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog113.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-311196534342992254?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-40183865764975107642008-10-17T19:29:00.001-07:002008-10-18T18:05:43.942-07:00My littel girl just turned into 4 year old!

I had fun with his session. He laughed a lot. Isn't natural light photography the best for little kids? They can run around, play with their favorite toys, let mommy and daddy swing him, instead of posing under the bright umbrella light in a small crammed studio. His mom said, he never liked his photographer before, but he liked you. Well said.<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog83.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog84.jpg"><br /><br />I need post more photos from my recent sessions, only if I can find more time.

Place your kids close to a window, or under the day light. Limit use of flash. I never use flash. I don't like the white out effect. <br /><br />2) When take pictures for a newborn, remember to remove the mess behind, burp clothes, diaper cream, an unwanted hand... place your newborn on a pretty blanket, preferrably a knitted one. If your newborn is hairless, find a nice cap, again, knitted. A simple magic, find a piece of black fleece blanket place under the baby, or wear black long sleeve when you hold your newborn. Under a good light source, you'll get a "studio like" picture. You'll be amazed how simple things change the look of your picture, if you follow my steps. Let your newborn facing the window light. Their eyes will shine.<br /><br />3) When you take pictures for your kids, dress them a little bit of different from your usual style, try something look funkish and modern. Try polka dot, stripes, colors.. wrap a shawl around your daughter's shoulder, try a colorful vest for your <br />boy. And you'll get a surprise in the end. If you always dress your girl in classic pink clothes, try the piggy tails and raspberry color. And get the navy color out. They don't look nice on pictures. For boys, I would do orange, red, and bright green tops with jeans. Clothes is very very important, but don't just dress your kids up, find something casual and fit their personalities.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-7460487165047174021?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-32183632234608646592007-10-20T18:27:00.002-07:002007-10-20T18:37:41.177-07:00I have a special feeling when I take newborn pictures. I simply adore them. Soft, tiny, warm, lovely... I like match them with soft blankets and knitted hats. When they are sleeping, it's simply serenity.

And she's supposed to be the hardest one because of her age. Yeah, hiding behind her mom, not looking at me while I take the group shots.... Her mom said to me, she's only 2. What can you expect?<br />Yes, I know, this age is supposed to be the hardest.... Yeah, you suppose to get tons of blurred pictures because of their speed, and even if they're still, they don't bother to give you a glimpse. <br /><br />Yet in the end, she's the only one showed the truliest laughters. Isn't it amazing?<br />Toddlers, they are so natural. When they are happy, they ARE happy. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog79.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog80.jpg"><br /><br />I want to reiterate my style here, I don't like parents saying cheese behind me. Cheese is not my style. Last week my daughter had school photo day, which the photographer made them say cheese for virtually 5 minutes. I know I won't buy that picture. If I want a laughter, I capture a true splendid one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-7840308888568370212?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-16119390868471925662007-09-28T13:16:00.000-07:002007-09-28T13:22:03.562-07:00next week. Bye bye the not so terrible "terrible two". She's been wonderful the last year. Very easy to be with. Except when I ask her to pose for me, of course. <br /><br />Well, one year closer to the age they really really like modeling for big cameras. <br /><br />Funny one day she came back from school and told me her teacher didn't take her pictures and she was sad. I said, wait a minute, you don't like mommy taking your pictures. The surprising reply was, mommy, your camera is black, teacher's camera is silver, I like silver color. Oops, is that the real reason she doesn't like me photographing her?? Then Nikon should provide a silver case, or maybe a pink one. <br /><br />For her birthday, she's getting a real digital camera(vtech). That'll be a blast. <br /><br />She's asking for a "turn" to type her words, so here it is - [tt5ty[y[67p-py[ypuy76ptt<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog72.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog73.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog74.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog75.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-1611939086847192566?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-48980599427313643852007-09-03T09:11:00.002-07:002007-09-03T09:15:16.187-07:00Some news to announce.

The grandparents(how young they look!) flew here from Michigan. May is a good month for family reunion. It was a nice, relaxing session. The kids cooperated very well. Mom used some tricks to make them chuckling like crazy. I'll borrow the tricks for my sessions later.

Lots of new pictures. I was browsing my old pictures today, and wow, I got so many NICE ones I've never had a chance posting on my website. So crop, crop and upload. Take a look when you have time. Let me know if you like it.<br /><br />Spring is coming, yeah! I'm booking for the flower blooming season. In my mind, probably the best time of the year(of course I didn't forget about the splendid fall we have here). The light green color look great on pictures.<br /><br />Clothes suggestion? Rainboots. Colorful rainboots. Stripe tights. Tees. Shorts. Jeans. Easter dresses.

Shining light light yellow soft hair. Envy. Came from a country with all black dark hair, you can imagine how much I crave for blonde hair. Even Natalie said, I like L's golden hair. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog58.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog59.jpg"><br /><br />I also posted some pictures from the session on my main website.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-117441621888013973?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1174415932339489302007-03-20T12:32:00.000-07:002007-03-20T12:45:44.126-07:00I start to love my new camera. I just found out yesterday I set my camera on the wrong white balance following wrong advice, all pictures came out bloody yellow. Now I'm enjoying the colors and details I get. <br /><br />Some pictures of Miss Natalie.

She was a sweet baby all the time, but suddenly turned into a toddler. How fast they grow! <br /><br />One thing to complain about toddler age, yeah, they are not camera friendly. Every parent knows it. They move constantly, they talk a lot, they protest everything you want them to do.....<br /><br />But they are the cutest, aren't they? <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog55.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116986647355564835?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1169865719638488662007-01-26T18:19:00.000-08:002007-01-26T18:43:18.476-08:00We have come back from Mexico. Warm weather there. In the 80's. Compared to Boston's single digit arctic cold.... <br /><br />The resort we stayed at is just gorgeous. It's ocean front, 5 swimming pools, luxury tropical settings all around. Natalie and I had great time when my husband was busy with his conference. We swimmed every day. At sunset time we walked on the beach. We saw swans, peacocks, flamingos in the garden. And we had exotic buffet every day.<br /><br />But everything couldn't stop her from missing home. Funny when we left from Boston, as soon as we arrived at the airport, she started saying I wanted to go home. And every day she repeated "mom, can we go home? I want to play my trains, I want to eat .... "(something she misses a lot, I don't know what it is). She loves beach, loves swimming, but still her heart was in Boston. <br /><br />Honestly I missed home too. The tropical weather is pleasant, certainly compares to Boston's single digit, but something is missing there. Surpisingly in the end I concluded living in a place like that is boring. No change of weather, no change of scenery, no change of clothes styles. No pom pom hats, no furry sweaters, no fall foliage, no colorful pumpkins, only T shirts and skirts and bikinis. I love hats, blankets, tights in my pictures. I love the difference of four seasons. <br /><br />Fortunately, the second day we came back home, we got snow! Natalie loves playing in the snow. More than swimming in the pool. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog53.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog54.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116986571963848866?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1169864110049532992007-01-26T18:06:00.000-08:002007-01-26T18:18:53.380-08:00of Natalie. She's finally cooperative. And I got tons tons of her pictures this month. Mostly laughing. How? Before I click for any photo, let her hold my camera and take few shots. She aims at ceiling, wall, rug...and every time she clicks twice(consumes my battery like hell). She also knows I use back button(AF/L) to focus. So before she clicks the shutter button, she presses the back button! My heart stops beating every time she touches my expensive equipment, talking about thousands of dollars in a 2 year old's hands. In exchange, I got the pictures I want. <br /><br />It's not difficult to get laughing pictures. A tip here for parents, let them run like crazy. Catch them in the middle and click click click. Those laughters are the best. <br /><br />On the other hand, it's always difficult to capture "soul" pictures. Serious, tranquil look. Those are what I look for. And those are the classics last lifetime long. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog51.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog52.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116986411004953299?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1168210981951059552007-01-07T15:01:00.000-08:002007-01-07T15:03:01.963-08:00I'll be out of town from Jan 15 to Jan 20th.

It totally blew my old one away. So easy to use, faster, crispier, smoother, bokeh is better. My old one feels like a toy compared to the new one. <br /><br />I'll put my old camera to rest.

I did the maternity session for the mom back in November and here the boy comes. Oh he's so cute. Big blue eyes. And at 9 days old, he could lift his head and change directions when lying on his tummy! Isn't it amazing? <br /><br />This blanket I got is so "photogenic". I'm always hunting for cute furry blankets. <br />I have collected countless blankets so far. And hats. My obession with things look nice on photos. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog47.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog48.jpg"><br /><br />Congrats to the mom & dad again!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116771287841722856?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1167712372365809802007-01-01T20:26:00.000-08:002007-01-01T20:32:52.376-08:00We had snow! Gosh, I was so excited when I saw the white snow flakes dancing outside of our window. But it was a bad day for my family. We were all sick from stomach flu. Yeah, sick on new year eve. Had to stay inside while outside was so so so gorgeous. <br /><br />The next day, the first thing in the morning, we stepped out and played in the snow, and of course, tons of photos for miss Natalie.<br /><br />She had so much fun. Me too. Probably the easiest photo session I had with her for a long long time. Until the next snow....<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog45.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog46.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116771237236580980?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1166477927980687502006-12-18T13:27:00.000-08:002006-12-18T13:38:47.990-08:00That's my daughter. It's so so so so hard to persuade her sit still and let me shoot some pictures. She keeps talking, rolling, walking, jumping, asking for food, faking sleep, telling me she's leaving, even crying. Man, it's not easy. I have to hold my camera in one hand, and use another one to hold onto a doll to get her attention. I have to play games with her. Bribe her with lollipops. Promise to buy her toys afterwards. Photographing your own kids is THE most challenging job in the world. I always get tons of good pictures of my clients, but for my daughter, spent several hours with her, I only get a few ones I like! <br /><br />One day we were having a photo session in the dark studio, and she kept looking down with fear in her eyes. I asked her why again and again and she refused to tell me. After a zillon years, she finally told me she's scared of the two orange color clamps on my backdrop. OMG! <br /><br />When she's in good mood, she's a perfect model for me. She has the perfect asian face shape and almond eyes. I think she looks beautiful on pictures. Well, every child is an apple in mommy's eye, of course. :)<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog43.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog44.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116647792798068750?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1166477205749602052006-12-18T13:13:00.000-08:002006-12-18T13:26:45.766-08:00When I first photographed him, he was only 3 months old. Those big deep dark eyes let me feel jealous. Last time, his mom spent more money on expensive frames than my prints! LOL. So for this session, his dad gave the doting mommy a spending limit. <br /><br />This is first time I use studio lights on a client. I'm pretty pleased with the results. To my surprise, he's not a bit afraid of the flashes. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog41.jpg"><br /><br />Look at those eyes, ah!<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog42.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116647720574960205?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1164946846074228732006-11-30T20:15:00.000-08:002006-11-30T20:32:58.630-08:00Yay, I have a studio of my own! We have this extra guest room that I turned into a studio. It's small but good enough for small babies. I will use it mainly for maternity and newborn pictures. Past week I've been ordering equipments online crazily. Got a large softbox, an Alienbee 800 and various backgrounds. <br /><br />Here are my very first studio shots of Natalie.

She has huge blue eyes and wild long hair for an infant of her age. I really enjoy working with small babies. They have the most amazing eye expressions, tranquil, peaceful, pleasant.

Just've been so crazily busy with the new house. I got many calls recently for photo sessions. Have to squeeze them in between my busy schedules. After I move and settle down, I will have more time slots available. <br /><br />Today in the chilly wind, I did this session with two beautiful blonde kids. They are in a way similar to my daughter. Very close to mommy. Cautious of strangers. But lots of personalities, with that kind of look great for portraits. <br /><br />I wish I had more time to write my blog. There're so many wonderful children I worked with. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog33.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog34.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog35.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116174796875339084?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1160275964037122322006-10-07T19:44:00.000-07:002006-10-07T19:56:59.226-07:00Before this session, my photographer friend told me, drink heavily! My mom said I need Jinseng afterwards to rejuvenate. Sounds like a difficult one, right? Six young kids, all ages. Well, no, I had fun. All I need was a pair of sneakers and a fast shutter. They are not difficult, just kids being kids. <br /><br />The moms love b&w. So here are some b&w, sorry I posted so late. Your fame time.<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog27.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog28.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog29.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116027596403712232?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1160275253325390872006-10-07T19:33:00.000-07:002006-10-07T19:44:29.493-07:00Well, today, we went to New Hampshire for fall foliage. Lucky us, caught in heavy traffic as soon as we reached NH. It was so so so horrible! We were totally stuck on the two lane highway. In the end, we aborted the highway and drove backroads all the way to White mountain(another 2 hours), heavy traffic too. Just few miles to White mountain, traffic built up again! We had to abort our plan, drove back instead of waiting with an empty stomach moaning. <br /><br />No foliage pictures this year. End up having late lunch at a country style smokehouse, baby back ribs, yummy!<br /><br />My new lens has beautiful beautiful bokeh(creamy blurred background). Try to master it next week. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog26.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-116027525332539087?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1159577966312208872006-09-29T17:52:00.000-07:002006-09-29T17:59:26.320-07:00I did this photo session last weekend. This brookline family has two adorable kids, one adopted girl and a new baby. After the couple adopted the little girl from China, their own baby boy has arrived. Besides the happiness this little girl brought to the family, she definitely brought luck too! I'm really really happy for her, her life would be totally different in China. Now she has mom, dad, baby brother, a family to hug, to love, and cherish. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog22.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog23.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog24.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog25.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115957796631220887?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1158714418669928382006-09-19T18:03:00.000-07:002006-09-19T18:11:40.133-07:00I haven't touched my camera for more than a week. My daughter is sick, fever, running nose and extra extra clingy. I don't have any time of my own. <br /><br />Besides, we made an offer on a house over the weekend and we're moving in November. From now on, I will be busy with my personal life. I will do photo sessions on a limited time basis.<br /><br />Oh, almost forgot. I will have a 28'x16' home office in the new house. I can use part of the room as my home studio. I have gorgeous sun light throughout the house. My office/studio is bright with tons of windows. Can't wait to move there and start my business in the new neighborhood.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115871441866992838?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1158093464610389972006-09-12T13:27:00.000-07:002006-09-12T13:38:55.513-07:00I got a call today from a local doula, Heidi Guiliano. She likes my work and is going to refer me to her newborn clients. Her website is here, http://www.inspiredbirth.com/ if you're interested in her service.<br /><br />My daughter was brought to the world with assistance from my wonderful doula. I delivered her naturally without any medicine intervention. Yes, no epidural. I don't know how could I ever survive the enormous labor pain without the encouragement from my doula. <br /> <br />Sweet sweet little peas just out of their pods. I'm so excited to portrait them in a creative and elegant way. They always remind me the word - "Life". Simple. pure. beautiful lives.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115809346461038997?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1157772713815396572006-09-08T20:24:00.000-07:002006-09-09T15:01:23.346-07:00I had a 4 week old girl came to my house today for a photo session, her very first one. She's incredibly beautiful with gorgeous sparkling eyes. The little girl didn't want to sleep at all. I ended up with tons of eye contact pictures but none sleeping ones!!! That's why they say the first two weeks are the best to shoot newborns. <br /><br />But I really really love the eye contact pictures I got, aren't her eyes amazing? I found her mom and myself reflected so clearly in her eyes. (Of course I always find myself in my subjects' eyes. :) )<br /><br />Eyes are windows to the soul. In that part, I feel I was connected with her. Her little personality is showing in her eye expressions, even at 4 weeks old.<br /><br />Monday I'll have a newborn boy at 3 weeks old. I'm waiting for a client to deliver her baby girl end of this month. Check my newborn gallery for more pictures.<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog19.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog20.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog21.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115777271381539657?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1157249134609667402006-09-02T18:58:00.000-07:002006-09-02T19:05:34.616-07:00This family has three girls that loves each other so much. The biggest one is 9 years old. She carries the 9 month old baby in her arms like a little "mother". The two bigger sisters like to dress in same kind of clothes, share toys, books, secrets and a doll like baby sister. <br /><br />I'm the only child in my family. When I was young, I really craved for a sister or brother to share everything with. Sisterhood is the sweetest relationship one can embrace for a long time. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog16.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog17.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog18.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115724913460966740?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1156476599081658002006-08-24T20:21:00.000-07:002006-08-24T20:30:33.130-07:00I photographed this family today. Three children, six, three and 10 months old. <br />we went to Beaver Brook. We all had great time there. Playing balls, wading in the brook(kids got wet shoes), rolling on grass. In the end, lots of fun at the water park. <br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog12.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog13.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog14.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog15.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115647659908165800?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1156194730911624062006-08-21T14:07:00.000-07:002006-08-23T12:57:38.986-07:00Well, I posted an ad on a message board, and I got so many calls! September looks like will book solid. Remaining of August is busy. I have to limit the number of sessions per week. I'd like to spend time with my daughter whenever possible. <br /><br />I booked another three sessions today. So many new faces I'll meet. I decided today I'll no longer offer portfolio building specials except for newborns (actually I booked a newborn today). My next special will be holiday early bird discounts, which includes a package of 20% off regular prints, 10% off cards, and 1 free 8x10 and 1 free set of wallets($50 value). I will enforce my regular session see from now on.<br /><br />So why do I charge session fee? It covers my travel time, 2 hours of photo shooting, 2-3 days of proofing (individually craft your pictures), phone consulting with you to discuss the prints, crop your pictures to your desire and send them to lab for printing. This takes great amount of time, that's why I charge a session fee.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115619473091162406?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1156046649084814532006-08-19T20:52:00.000-07:002006-08-19T21:04:35.090-07:00Am I a lucky girl? I'm surrounded by so many beautiful children and they become my models. Every single one on my website is so adorable. I keep falling in love with every child I photographed. Every little soul has his unqiue personalities. Their smiles, squints, laughters, serious faces....make my website full of life. It's hard to pick my favorites to represent my portfolio. It's even harder to take one photo out to add a new face. So parents, if you see one of your child's photos is gone, don't blame me, I just have too many cute faces to display. I have so many new sessions coming, there'll be new faces for sure. <br /><br />I photographed these two gorgeous children today. They live in my neighborhood. The older one is almost three. The little one just passed one. My mom asked me he was that little baby I know of? how come he looked like a big boy now. Well, he is walking, so he's officially a toddler! Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? It was hard in the beginning to get them cooperate with me. Little ones are the hardest, every photographer agrees. They want to play, they don't want to stay. I thought I couldn't get enough good ones, but end up with tons of. Trick? Bribe them, candies, cookies...Whatever make them happy, make them build rapport with you. And of course parents, they worked hard to let me get the truest laughters. I'm truly thankful to them. <br /><br />Here are some favorite ones<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog9.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog10.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog11.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115604664908481453?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1155692325529322552006-08-15T18:34:00.000-07:002006-08-15T18:38:45.540-07:00You can't ask them to fake a smile, cause they only laugh when they laugh. Kids are so natural you really can't force them into a certain expression. <br /><br />So how to get a true laughter? For this one, so easy, I opened the fridge door which was facing her, and shut it with a loud bang. Just that simple.<br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog8.jpg"><br /><br />She giggled and giggled. Priceless.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115569232552932255?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1155433793371247372006-08-12T18:46:00.000-07:002006-08-12T19:17:19.910-07:00My daughter loves to play in our big bed. She likes to jump(sort of), roll over, run and fake sleeping.

She's too cute to resist.<br /><br />Here are few pictures<br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://myangphoto.com/blog/blog3.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115526728392317224?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32361819.post-1154998246322676522006-08-07T17:49:00.000-07:002006-08-07T19:59:49.343-07:00Wasn't it a crazy month? I started portfolio building since June, bought my domain and website template in July. And now everything is functioning!!! I mean everything. I have my business cards printed. (Believe or not, it's my first business card). I have a decent size web portfolio. (I'm still working on my baby gallery). And today I even got a call from a complete stranger. We booked a session for this Friday.<br /><br />Building a small business is complete new to me. It's exciting to OWN your business which you can throw your heart and soul in. This career fits me perfectly because I ultimately adore children, love them, love to photograph them, love to be with them. I've been passionate about photography for so long. Yet till today I ventured out and started a whole new page of my life.<br /><br />Excited, yes. Nervous, yes. I believe the future of my business is promising, and I will try my best to produce the best images for beautiful children around me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32361819-115499824632267652?l=myangphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maggie Yang Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04302567231127759553noreply@blogger.com0
