Family Portraits in Bellevue | Kang Family

I’ve known Allison’s family since I was in middle school. That seems like such a long time ago, but Allison’s smile hasn’t changed. She is such a terrific person and it was an honor to photograph their family at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.

Seattle Wedding Photographer | Rebekah Kim

My wife is visiting Korea for the first time since we got married a year and a half ago. She went to visit our mother and her grandmother, who is over 90 years old and isn’t feeling too well. This is the first time we’ve been separated for so long and I don’t think I ever want to be separated from my wife again. This is a good lesson for me to always love my wife and know that I am incomplete without her. She truly is my better half. We took these pictures together at the Bellevue Botanical Garden while waiting for Allison’s family to come for their family photo shoot (their family photo portraits will be up soon). She will be in Korea until the end of the month and I can’t wait to see her again. The only good thing about this is I am having the opportunity to catch up on all my work. I love you honey and I miss you…

By the way, the picture below with my wife inside the Microsoft Zune shows the flowers I sent to her for her birthday =).

Children’s Portraits

We photographed Sharon, Nathan and Aiden at Pine Lake Park in Sammamish, WA. Sharon is sister’s with Angela, whose wedding we had the honor of being a part of. Sharon wanted to have some pictures of Aiden before his baby teeth fell out. The boys are so full of personality and energy. Aren’t the boys just adorable? They were really fun to work with and you can see how happy the boys are with their mom! Too bad daddy had to work that day. You can access the rest of their pictures by clicking here (password protected).

Differences in Post Processing

My main camera of choice is the Canon 5D. It’s a 12 megapixel full frame camera. It’s a beauty to work with and I love it. My wife usually shoots with the Canon 30D. She gets better reach with that camera because of the crop factor and she always gets some amazing candid pictures! Anyway, I’ll talk about cameras later. I wanted to talk about how software makes a big difference. I’ve always shot RAW + JPG format. It can be time consuming to convert every single RAW image into JPG so I usually only convert my favorites. It might be hard to see the differences in output from these small images, but RAW images converted to JPG offer many advantages. I’ve always converted using Silkypix, but lately I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom and I like it a lot.

I think I like the Lightroom version with the curve adjustment the best. The best thing about Lightroom is it’s a better workflow!

Memorial Day Weekend 2006

Until Rebekah and I have children, Izzy (Isabel) is the baby in the family.  Izzy is my niece and she brings so much joy to everyone that meets her!  My sister, Ashley, started her own company called MYIZZY.COM after Izzy was born.  If you’re looking for children’s hair accessories make sure you check out her site.

We had a lot of great memories.  Izzy is growing so quickly, I already miss her… I can still hear her say … Uncle Todd!
