Pocholo and Kate are meant to be together. Where she may be fiery, he’s calm. Where she may be impatient, he’s steady and receptive. Where he may be impassive, she’s animated. The way they complemented each other was so apparent to us when we shot their engagement photos so many months ago.
Their wedding had a classically beautiful feel to it, from the ceremony at the Immaculata at USD to the reception at The Prado at Balboa Park, so that influenced the approach Kirin and I took when we photographed them. Take a look for yourself…
Make Up Artist: Cherie & Co.

Kirin and I had the privilege of meeting a really extraordinary young lady, Paola. She’s an undergrad at UCSD, about to earn her BA. She asked that Kirin and I shoot some portraits of her in her cap and gown.
She’s really a delightful person, intelligent, pleasant, and patient enough to put up with two photographers fussing over her for an hour.
She’s going to walk in the graduation ceremony next month; and she plans on attending the University of Hawai’i to pursue a doctorate in American Studies. Remarkable, huh? Not only that, she’s the current reigning Miss Philippines, San Diego!

I don’t know if there are any official statistics to back this up, but it sure seems like there is another baby-boom going on. At least here in Eastlake, it seems that there are young families and kids all over the place! Which is a great thing: Kirin and I have always loved kids. And now that we have our little guy, it’s somehow even more fun to appreciate other people’s kids–and gain a new kind of understanding with other new parents…
We had the honor to shoot a portrait session of our good friends Rachael and Lars with their little one Olivia–what a doll! This was actually the second time that Olivia has been in front of our cameras, although that first time was when she was still a bun in the oven. It was a great family session, with Grandma, Grandpa and Rachael’s sister sticking around for some shots, too. Take a look…
