This is Penny, half Korean, half Caucasian baby who lives right next door to my home in NYC. Her grandparents have been our neighbors for as long as I can remember, and their son Tim married a lovely Korean woman named Judy. My parents remember Tim when he was a teenager with dyed hair, tattoos and piercings, and now he is a cool, rocker, easy going and loving dad :) Judy and Tim have the most adorable baby girl, Penny.
These pictures (from Summer 2010) are of with me and Penny after I took pictures of all of them. As I'm sure you can tell, I don't look glamorous from behind the camera, haha...
I offered to take their pictures because they had been so busy taking care of the baby, that they hardly had any photos of all of them together. This family is so amazing and supportive of each other. Lucky girl, Penny, also gets to live in the same house as her grandparents who love her unconditionally.
I am a violinist and photography is also a huge love of mine. I enjoy meeting new people every day, capturing their personalities and unique-ness on camera. Sometimes, I feel like I see the world better through a lens :) xx

Meet the Photographer
Hi!
I am a violinist from NYC who is now based in London, UK. Besides, playing the violin, photography is a huge love of mine. When I'm not practicing, rehearsing, or performing, I really enjoy doing photography. I learned all of my photography skills from my amazing mother :)
I enjoy shooting photos of my friends, family, rock bands, soloists, chamber groups, professionals, etc. Because I am a musician, I sympathize with musicians who want to have their professional photos done. I myself am not completely comfortable in front of a camera... I can actually be quite awkward :P... but because I learned how to work in front of a camera (child model and actress), I also learned how to work behind the camera :) I try to make the subject(s) of my pictures feel as much themselves as possible so that I can capture their true personality and unique-ness in photos.
Hope everyone enjoys my photos! I've decided to update some of my photography portfolio online so that I can share them with my wonderful friends and family, and anyone who wants me to shoot their pictures.
