“If the sole reason for me becoming a photographer is to create unique and wonderful imagery of my family, that is enough” ~ Quin Cheung For the geeky photogs who want a behind the scenes peek at how we used the 7-foot octabox (!!) you see below, click HERE for all the gory details!

What do photographer parents do at their boy’s birthday party? Set up a PhunkyBooth of course! It kind of blows my mind to think that I’ll have an EIGHT year old who is Tobias Cheung.  He is joy, he is fun, he is life.  I can hardly remember who I was before I had him [...]

What’s the staple in every guy photographer’s wardrobe?  Yes, black pants.  Boring.  Black.  Pants. I was excited to find at H&M this weekend a neat alternative to the *blah* black pant.  Actually, these are jeans, but of a material that has a ton of structure to hold all those wrinkles, and bit of sheen in [...]

Would you believe that cute, chic and versatile bag is actually loaded with a laptop, camera body, extra lens, flash, wallet, iphone AND makeup kit?  Everything you need as you walk out the door for a day’s shoot.  Best of all you can follow up your shoot with drinks or dinner at a restaurant without [...]

It’s Friday, so let’s talk fashion… for the photographer. I get asked all the time about what outfits I wear when I shoot.  Please understand, I will not claim to be a diva when it comes to fashion, but I do love shopping and finding great pieces and outfits (at great prices!).  In particular I [...]

This is  our boy, Tobi.  He’s 7 years old, and his passion is hockey.  He’s been memorizing hockey stats since he was 4.  He can tell you an unbelievable amount of information about individual players, teams and records.  Every day, his motivation to hop out of bed, get changed, and brush his teeth is so [...]

Not your typical church scene, huh? Remembrance Day.  We had the super cool opportunity to shoot the youth band Resonate at Rockpointe Church.  It was a mind-blowing experience to see over 150 kids connecting and letting loose to loud, pumping, live music.  It wasn’t just letting loose in dance moves, but giving freedom to their [...]

As we approach the season of Christmas, and even closer still, Thanksgiving in America, I wanted to write this special post about a special little girl.  Sidney Gray is the miracle daughter of Mindy & Peter, a gorgeous couple whose wedding we had the honor of shooting back in 2005.  Dave & I had a [...]

Sawatdee from Thailand!!! Chuay-duay-chan-jom-num: “Help! I’m drowning”, a phrase to keep in mind for our adventure to Phi-Phi Islands (pronounced “Pee-Pee”, you can guess what kind of jokes my boys came up with). Early morning we popped some gravol and hopped on a speedboat to our first island stop. Feeding the fish… They look all [...]

As of right now, we’re hopping on a jet plane to travel 12,056 Km across the world to Thailand, Malaysia and Bali.  It’s an exciting trip for many reasons, the obvious one being we’re going to take as many incredible images as our little fingers can possibly take.  Another reason close to my heart is [...]

Confessions of an asian tourist: Dave & I are not very good tourists when we travel. Especially when it’s for work. I hate to admit it, but for all the places we go to, we don’t take enough time for ourselves to really explore the cities we visit and document our travels on a personal [...]

When we were asked by our good friend and fantabulous photographer Jerry Ghionis to model at his Washington workshop, we just couldn’t say no. Boy were we glad we went. Not because we like being shot (actually … we’re waay more comfy beHIND the lens than in front of it), but meeting so many great [...]

What would you say if the world’s most awarded wedding photographer asked to take pictures of you … naked?? We gasped … then he said, “Not you. Me!” LOL! We had the honor of being photographed by our good friend and uber-talented photographer Jerry Ghionis. One of the industries leading educators, he’s just launched his [...]

This is a note of a more personal nature, so feel free to read on or pass … it’s up to you Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranking last on the United Nations Development Fund index of human development. Drought cycles and desertification make it one of the harshest places [...]

Bonjour from Paris! We’re here to spend some quality time with family and indulge in Parisian cuisine … mmmmm … Watch out Europe! We just might be back to bring some DQ Lovin to your side of the pond
