winter wonderland trash the dress | southern california photographer

Posted in photog shootout show hide 14 comments

Although I consider myself a children’s photographer, I was thrilled to take part in a photographer shootout with five gorgous brides (three of which, brought their real life grooms) in beautiful Lake Arrowhead, California. I loved being able to step out of what I normally do and try something different. Southern California has an awesome photography community. I’ve met many local photographers with a willingness to share and are super nice to boot. I really enjoy being a part of the camraderie.

I have lots of images to blog from this shoot so I’ll let them speak for themselves.

The theme: Winter Wonderland Trash the Dress.
Designer Hairpieces Rachel Larraine
Make Up Artist Amy Clarke Faces
Hair Hair by Kristen
Flowers by Lavender’s Flowers
Organized by Elizabeth Luna

At the end of the day, a few photographers stayed behind to photograph one of the couples with the sunset. It was getting cold and I was hungry and I contemplated waiting in the car but was SO GLAD that I pushed myself. If I didn’t, I would have never gotten this shot.

If you made it to the end of the post, thanks for looking! I love blog comments so if you’d like to leave me some love,

project 52 – week one | cindy chen photography

Posted in children, just me show hide 8 comments

What is project 52? You might have heard of project 365, where you post one picture taken every day of the year. Project 52 is similar, but instead of taking and posting pictures every day, you only post once each week. Proect 52 is much more my speed, having a kindergartener and a preschooler (and feeling like a taxi Monday through Friday shuttling them between their different schools and schedules) and running a photography business. One of my many goals for 2010 is to take more pictures for myself. When I was crazy into scrapbooking when I had my first child (actually, I was crazy into scrapbooking even before I was married), I was so good at taking pictures of all the little moments and details of the life of my family. I want to get back to that.

I am so excited to be participating in this project with some great friends (who also happen to also be amazingly talented photographers from all across the US) that I met last April when I attended a photography workshop in Atlanta. Some weeks, we will have a theme to inspire, challenge, and push our creativity. Other weeks will be anything goes.

So for my first post, week one, of project 52, I decided to take advantage of the “winter weather” we are having today in Southern California and take pictures in the rain! My 3 year old was a happy girl putting on all her rain gear and playing in the puddles.
