I flew up to San Francisco this past weekend to photograph my last wedding of the year with Jason Lee. I had so much fun capturing this genuinely down to earth couple. It was totally awesome! The rain and cold kept us indoors for most of the day. It didn’t matter though because cloudy as it was outside, it was a warm, joyous, and fun-filled inside. Mai and Ricky, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

Kristen: Oooh, I LOVE that bouquet! And I love her red dress too.

Jason: Great set Mieng!

The Ravitz Family


November 18, 2009

I recently drove out to Los Angeles to photograph a really great family. Lauren and David have a fourteen month old son named Nathan who is not only adorable, but extremely curious about everything! We had a fun time trying to get him to sit still and not walk off to go look at something. It was a bit tricky but everything worked out when Grandma & Grandpa stopped by…it must be a universal truth that all kids love their grandparents because Nathan was all smiles the rest of the time :) Thanks for a wonderful day!

Please check out the slideshow and don’t forget to come back and leave me love in the comments box!

Jason Lee: Love these images Mieng!

Kristen: Oooh, 12-18 month olds are tough to photograph! I just did a shoot for a family with 5 kids, and the youngest was about 14 months old. She kept running away from me! lol My fave of this set is the one of the fam walking, holding hands.

Mieng: Thanks Jason & Kristen!

gina Christenson: how super cute!

Ting and Loc are very much in love. They’re very cute together, as I found out last week on their wedding day at Pacific Palms Resort. I saw how much they cared for each other by the subtle yet endearing way they steal glances at each other, grab for the other’s hand, and smile with their eyes at each other. I wish them all the best in their new marriage. Congratulations guys!

The Friedman Family


October 2, 2009

I recently met The Friedman’s and got a chance to spend a fun afternoon hanging out at their home. Samantha and Jordan, along with their adorable ten-month old son Jackson, invited me over to do their very first family portrait session. We had a blast! They’re such a great looking and down to earth family and it totally made my job easy. Jackson’s a handsome little man who’s got this thing for sticking his tongue out at me, but the icing on the cake was that their chocolate brown Cocker Spaniel is also named Zoe(y)! Thanks for a fun filled afternoon, guys!

Kristen: Ok, the one of him with the monkeys made me laugh out loud. That was awesome.

Jason: LOVE that monkey shot, made me smile : )

I had the pleasure of photographing Heather and Ektor’s beautiful wedding in Laguna Beach. They had a private ceremony with close family and friends at Heisler Park and reception held at Christaki’s Restaurant. Heather looked absolutely beautiful in her dress and all of the amazing details - from the handmade bouquets to the homemade soap bar favors - where a huge success. Congratulations guys!

Side note: Enjoy the new, larger-sized images!
