  • Why, hello you!

    I’m Kim. I’m a wedding photographer based in Northern California. Take a peek around to learn a little bit more about me and what I love to do. Weddings are my forte and when I’m not behind the camera documenting love, you can find me hanging out with my baby girl, husband and pup. For more information, head over to the website.

Happy Things: Coco, Instagram & The Voice

I don’t know why but every time June rolls around, I get excited.  I haven’t had a proper summer break in years but there is something about summertime that I just didn’t outgrow.  Maybe it’s the warm weather or BBQ’s.  Or perhaps all the summer blockbusters or my love of swimming.  But without a doubt, my favorite part of summer has to be traveling.  This summer, we’ll be heading to Chicago and then later this year, Thailand and Hong Kong.  It’s our first time to both Chicago and Thailand so if anyone has advice or tips, we’d love to hear them!

And since it’s a June, it’s time for another edition of Happy Things.  This month’s batch are 3 things that have been taking up a good amount of my free time as well as keeping me entertained.

// I love to laugh.  If you can make me laugh, I instantly like you.  Conan O’Brien is one such guy.  He’s one of my favorites and thanks to my DVR, I never miss a show.  Last week, he gave the commencement speech at Dartmouth college.  If you have the time, watch the whole thing below.  Funny as ever but with good advice for anyone.  My favorite line, “Work hard, be kind and amazing things will happen.”  Oh Coco, I love you!

// Instagram. If you own an iPhone and like taking pictures with it, you seriously need to download this app.  It makes sharing your photos on Facebook or Twitter a breeze and you can add a filter to spice up your photos to your liking.  I’m completely addicted to it and love that it’s a new and creative way to share photos.  A few recent shots of mine using Instagram…

// And lastly, my latest TV love, NBC’s The Voice.  A show all about talent and people who can actually sing.  It’s a refreshing twist in a sea of blah talent shows and they’ve got some real good people with some darn good vocals.  And I loved this clip from Ellen as she talked about the show.

Happy Weekend!

Adrienne - Hey Kim! Yay for happy things! Jerry and I were watching Conan’s speech too together and were cracking up. Ooh, also, have you heard of the PhotoSplit camera app for iphone? Jerry’s best friend developed that app and it lets you easily make collages and layer photos on your iphone. haven’t tried it myself since we don’t have an iphone, but looks like a good creative outlet and that it’d be pretty fun to use 🙂 hope everything else is going well!
