Shyema

I’ve been so bad with updating my blog posts! So, I finally sat myself down away from my usual environments and started going through my hard drives to do a comprehensive edit and see how the past few years of my life have been.  As I was going through my hard drives, I came across Shyema’s portrait folder.  It took me back to the summer of 2011.  I was away in Singapore and Korea with my family when I received an email from Shyema, who needed a headshot, and she only had that Saturday to do it, which was in 2 days and which also coincidentally happened to be the day I was coming home.  I landed that morning, got home, unpacked my camera and rushed over to photograph Shyema.  I was happy that it was less humid but oh man! It was blazing hot! We could barely stand outside without sweating. But we did it in 30 minutes and now these photos are in magazines and other blogs!

If you haven’t noticed from the photos above, Shyema is Founder & Editor-in-Chief of an awesome blog called Beauty and the Feast.  She combined the 2 things girls love the most-- make-up and food! Pure genius! Check out her blog for beauty tips or recommendations for delicious local joints in the NYC area!  

Iceland 2012 Instagram

Have you been to Iceland yet? This is one of my favorite places on Earth. I revisited this past November since I failed to catch the elusive Northern Lights the year before. This time my friend and I were fortunate enough to see it 3 times! It was simply breathtaking. It's definitely worth standing outside in the cold for hours on end for. I would do it again and again. More pictures to come later, but you want to see them now, you can always follow my instagram: (click here!) You will find a comprehensive visual summary of what I ate and saw there (I instagrammed like crazy on this trip). No doubt about it, I am definitely going back again!!
