FAMILIES

The Cheung Family Holiday Portraits

I had never met Iris before, but after following her blog for a little while, I felt like we might be the same person…. and I knew we’d get along real well. Iris is a another wedding and portrait photographer in Orange County who is pretty much a super woman. When we talked on the phone before the shoot, she mentioned that not only does she own her own business, but she’s also a full time mom of two adorable children. I have no idea how you do it, Iris…. you amaze me.

Welp, Ricky, Iris, Annabelle, and Christian…. I had so much fun running around Irvine Regional Park with you! Your family is too cute, and I hope these photos will help remind you later on down the road how much you loved each other. And Iris, I know you aren’t on this side of the camera very often, and even if you don’t believe me…. I think you’re STUNNING. I hope I’m as in love, as successful, and as beautiful as you when I’m a mom. Here are my favs….
