Baby 2

My brother and sister-in-law are having their second baby. I’m so excited to meet the next little baby Tsang.  I shot their first baby, Norah’s, birth, and I’m hoping to do the same for baby 2!  I took some quick pictures of Alison at around 26 weeks.  Yes, the heart hands on the tummy is [...]

In a state of stillness

Do you ever have those moments when everything seems so philosophical but somehow you understand the meaning of life? For me, those moments occur during what I call “a state of stillness”. I like to stay productive and fill my life with plans and lists. Getting caught up in that is easy for me, so [...]
