Senior: Rachel & Rebekah

10.03.2009

Rachel and Rebekah are my 2nd reps...well I usually have one rep at each school, but as you can tell...they're twins!!! It's way better to have 2 reps than just one since they look alike so much ;-) I had a fun afternoon with them in Old town Orange. We exlpored the streets and alleys and found many great spots. I had a pair of twin friends when growing up and have always wondered what it feels like to have a twin. I'm so blessed to have a younger sister who is my best friend, so I think it must feels very special to have a twin since they have each other from the very beginning. The twins are so cute and I love to see the connections between them. :-)

Here are some highlights of the day:

What's in my Wicked Stitch bag?

Some of my photographer friends have asked me about my Wicked Stitch bag. I got it about 8 months ago and have been in love with it. I wanted a small camera bag that I can carry it with me anywhere then I found Wicked Stitch Design. Alida is the talented designer and she makes perfect custom camera bags (yes you pick the fabric you like). I love my Knox bag, I carry it when I go to portrait shoot, vacation, class....I just love it's so easy to carry and it makes me look cute at the same time (that's sooo important!) ;-)


This is my sweet Knox bag from Wicked Stitch Designs.




This is "what's in my bag?" when I have my purse or backpack with me. Besides my camera and leses, I only put a few backup batteries and CF cards in it.





This is "what's in my bag?" when I go to a shoot. I put my wallet and cell phone in the bag and I put a pen, a note pad and my keys in the exterior back pocket.




I love my bag!

From their blog I know Alida has designed new rugged version bags with weather resistant materials and heavy duty paddings. I can't wait to get one since I just got a new camera ;-)

Senior: Kayla

09.21.09


Kayla is my 1st senior rep of class of 2010. I love her fashionable look with sweet smile :-) We had the shoot at downtown Fullerton, it's such a great place for urban background. Kayla did a wonderful job showing her personality in the photos (like I said...fashonable and sweet ;-) ). I think it's so important for the seniors to be yourselves in the senior sessions, because it's not only just about the photos but about who you are.


Here are some highlights of the day:

Kayla's sister, Ashley, was with us at the shoot. Of course I had to have her do some fun shots ;-)

I'm still looking for senior reps of class of 2010, please contact me (info@sindyhand.com) if you're interested ;-)

Autumn : Day After Session

08.21.09

Day After Session aka Trash the Dress Session aka Rock the Dress Session...no matter what you'd like to call it, it's a fun, relaxing bridal session after the wedding. I was so excited when Autumn chose to have a Day After session, and I did have fun! Autumn is beyond gorgeous! I'll never get tired of photographing her. Everytime she's in front of my camera, I feel I'm shooting a super model! Here are some of my fav shots of the day:

Shonna & Paul: Engaged!!!

07.27.09

I may have said this many many times...I LOVE SHOOTING WEDDINGS AND ENGAGEMENTS! I love to see people are happily in love and the way they look at each other, as you can see from Shonna and Paul's eyes. I've known Shonna's parents since 2005, I even lived in their house for one and half years before I got married. I was so happy when I found out that Shonna was engaged and was honored that she wanted me to shoot their engagment pictures.

The session was taken place in Seal Beach, which happened to be a very special place for me. Seal Beach is very clean and beautiful and it is where my husband proposed to me. I always love to come here and It always reminds me everything of the day he proposed to me when I come :-)

Here are some highlights of the shoot:

Congratulations Shonna and Paul!!!
