Bao approached me about doing portraits for his family about a month ago. We were very old childhood friends back in the early/mid 80′s. As a matter of fact, his father was on the same boat as me and my family when we fled Vietnam. Anyway, I thought I’d give shooting his family a go. But instead of shooting in a studio atmosphere with forced poses, I figured, why can’t I make a style out of shooting families like I shoot my weddings? The results speak for themselves. I might have to add this kind of service to my business, because I really enjoyed it.
Their cute little boy, Aiden, was a great subject. I mean, how can you go wrong shooting such a handsome and cute little boy. I think every photo I shot included him in it! I am sure Bao and Chi don’t mind.
