Specifically Headshots. https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2023/4/my-2-cents-on-ai-and-photography-specifically-headshots Screenshot 2023-04-14 at 11.00.55 PMScreenshot 2023-04-14 at 11.00.55 PM

 

My 2 cents on AI and photography. Specifically headshots.
 

I’m not against AI, I actually use it ALL THE TIME. And have been for quite some time.
 

Especially for headshots.
 

Why? Because I want to spend as much time with my kids as possible. AND to deliver images to my clients that they can truly be proud of to share with the world they influence.
 

I must say though, there are fine tune touches within the editing process that AI simply can not do automatically without me giving it detailed instructions and fine tuning (which takes the same amount of time as me doing it).
 

AI definitely speeds up the entire process. And I LOVE THAT SO MUCH!
 

Let me give an example:

One of the individuals below requested for a specific hair adjustment, and another asked for facial retouching that reflected their needs. Another requested adjustments to clothing, and so on.
 

I keep notes on all these requests.
 

AI helps me retouch to some extent, but the prompting to create the look that best reflects my client’s aesthetics… these specific requests are actually my FAVORITE parts about headshots. These small requests are what makes YOU unique in every way.
 

The requests are not flaws you see in yourself, but rather, how you see yourself and want your world to see who you truly are!
 

Its my job to capture your essence, and it’s YOUR job to be YOU!
 

All in all what once would take hours on end per PERSON. Now can be done within moments. SO GRATEFUL!
 

That being said. Be you. Always be you. And thank you to everyone who came in front of my camera during this event. I am honestly the most blessed to be doing what I love for people who are truly remarkable in every way.

Powerful Tool to Build Authentic Connection With Your Dream Clients and Customers https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2023/3/building-authentic-connection-with-your-dream-client More than ever, we have been craving to build authentic and meaningful relationships as humans. In the corporate world, especially, both companies and potential clients/customers long for connection. A powerful tool for establishing that connection is through professional headshots.

What is a headshot?

A headshot is a photograph that focuses on a person's face that is commonly used for professional purposes, such as for an actor's portfolio or a businessperson's LinkedIn profile. In addition, a headshot can do more than just show what you look like - it can translate your personality, your values, and even your energy through a photograph. 

Todd_Tamara_Headshots_2022-21Todd_Tamara_Headshots_2022-21

 

What happens when a potential client sees your headshot?

When someone looks at your headshot, they are immediately drawn to your face- especially your eyes. This saying rings true- "Your eyes are the window to your soul."

nathaniel headshot-034nathaniel headshot-034 Eye contact is a powerful way to establish authenticity in the relationship and a headshot that showcases strong eye contact can make the client feel as though they already know you. They can see the warmth in your eyes, the sincerity in your smile, and the confidence in your posture. All of these elements combine to create the "know, like, and trust" factor.  However, a headshot will also send a powerful message about who you are! Are you serious and focused? Playful and fun-loving? Compassionate and caring? A good headshot can convey all of these things and more.

 

For example, a headshot for a doctor might feature a serious expression, conveying their commitment to their work and their patients. A headshot for a musician might feature a playful smile, showing their love for their craft and their joy in performing. And a headshot for a businessperson might feature a confident posture, communicating their professionalism and leadership.

Amber_Headshot_2021-9Amber_Headshot_2021-9

So the next time you need a headshot, think beyond just the physical features - think about the message you want to amplify and the authentic connection you want to make to your clients.

My Top Professional Headshot Tips for Men https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2023/3/my-top-professional-headshot-tips-for-men This one's for the fellas!

 

Does the thought of getting pictures done make your heart palpitate? 

 

Already feel stressed out at the word "professional business portraits"? 

 

Have you hesitated getting headshots done even though it it is good for your career or business due to the fact that it seems so overwhelming?

 

Here’s some steps to help you relax and other practical tips to ensure a great photo session!

 

1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate days leading up to your photo session. Your skin will thank you for it!

Abbey_Company_2023-13Abbey_Company_2023-13

 

2. Come with a week old fresh cut. Yes a week old. Sometimes letting a fresh cut grow out a few days looks more natural than an immediate fresh cut which can often be too close to the skin resulting in baldness.

Abbey_Company_2023-12Abbey_Company_2023-12

 

3. Plan an outfit that represents you! Solid neutral colors work best!

CC354782-Edit_ppCC354782-Edit_pp

 

4. Moisturize heavily the night prior for optimal skin. Including your lips! If you're going to shave, shave at the same time.

Todd_Tamara_Headshots_2022-12Todd_Tamara_Headshots_2022-12

 

5. Get a great night's sleep! As you may or may not know, sleep (or lack thereof) affects our mood for the next day. So eat dinner early, put your phone in another room, meditate/pray, breathe deep, and go to sleep!

John_Headshots_2022-3John_Headshots_2022-3

 

6. After you get up, visualize how awesome the day will be- including your headshot session. Mindset is everything when it comes to anticipating what day you will have.

Matthew_Esguerra_2022--4Matthew_Esguerra_2022--4

 

7. Show up early. Rushing tends to put our bodies into stress. So give yourself ample time to make your appointment.

nathaniel headshot-013nathaniel headshot-013

 

8. Once you show up, take another deep breath and reeeeelax. It's not going to be painful. In fact, you might like it so much, you'll want to take even more!

Top 3 Leadership Lessons From Super Bowl Quarterback and MVP Patrick Mahomes https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2023/2/top-3-leadership-lessons-from-super-bowl-quarterback-and-mvp-patrick-mahomes As we look forward to Super Bowl LVII in Phoenix, Arizona, we have to pause to appreciate the greatness of these professional athletes amidst the hoopla surrounding the game. With every successful team stands a great leader. And this is no different in your own role as a leader in your workplace or your own business. 

One person whose leadership qualities I want to highlight is none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and MVP Patrick Mahomes.

Having been raised around professional sports, I’m sure he has picked up a thing or two on what it takes to be an exceptional leader for his team. 

Here are three leadership qualities he possesses that you can take and apply it as you lead your own team:

#1. Humility
C.S. Lewis once said, “Humility not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.” During postgame interviews, Mahomes always credits his team when they win but takes responsibility when they lose all while exuding a humble kind of confidence. In an age of diva athletes with selfish thinking and huge egos, Mahomes does the opposite. This kind of humility isn’t self-degrading but rather uplifts those around him. 

When leading a company, a department, or even yourself, humility is the key going forward. It keeps your team inspired, encouraged, and willing to follow your vision.

#2. Flexibility
No, we’re not talking about doing the splits but Mahomes’ ability to adapt to what he sees on the defense and knack for adjusting on the fly is a major part of his success on the field. In a game where adjustments are happening at a rapid pace, he is ahead of the curve among his peers. 

In your work environment, flexibility is a key trait to move the needle forward. Things change at the last minute and your team is counting on you to take a commanding presence to navigate through the shifting scenarios. Having a flexible mindset will help earn the trust and respect of those around you. 

Property Management CompanyAbbey Company HeadshotsAbbey Company Professional Headshots in Garden Grove, Orange County, California

#3. A Privilege- Not a Right
In Mahomes’ interviews, he frequently is grateful for the opportunity to play the game he loves and to lead the kind of team he is in. Coming in and taking the reins of leadership in his second year of professional football was something that he had to earn. He had to build the trust of his team by developing a culture of honor, respect, vulnerability, all while having fun in the process.

If you find yourself in a place of leading others even though there are “veterans” on your team, the key to gaining respect of others is knowing that it isn’t just handed to you because of your title but something earned through example, communication, and never to be taken for granted.

What is the difference between professional headshots and a branding shoot?

The purpose of a professional headshot is to showcase your face to your name. Typically it is done with a simple background and shot from your waist up. Business owners and their employees, students, job applicants, and just about everybody will need professional headshots at some point. With branding shoots, they typically will include headshots but will showcase much more.

How To Prepare For Your In-Home Newborn Photo Session https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2022/10/how-to-prepare-for-your-in-home-newborn-photo-session Over the years, I've had the privilege of documenting the deep connection between parents and their newborn child. Here are my top three tips so you can make your session an enjoyable and memorable time!

Newborn Photography, orange county family photographerNewborn Photography Newborn Photography in Orange County, California

 

 

Tip #1:

Choose a room with the best natural light coming through. I won't be using a flash since natural light allows for a softer feel. A bedroom is preferred since it's typically quieter and relaxing. I also love to capture your family snuggling in bed together!

Tip #2: 

Don't feel the need to turn your whole house over! Just simply declutter and remove any items that you don't want in your photos- ex: clothes on the ground, trash, toys, extra furniture, etc.

Tip #3:

Lastly, let's talk outfits and overall decor! The focus will be on you and your baby, so stick to neutral colors that don't have distracting patterns. If you have a special outfit of sentimental value, have that ready too!

Professional Headshots VS. Branding Shoots- What's The Difference? https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2022/9/professional-headshots-vs-branding-shoots--whats-the-difference Professional Headshots vs Branding Photography

 

A common question that I receive from entrepreneurs, corporate executives and their employees, and business owners is “What is the difference between professional headshots versus personal branding photos?”

It is crucial to know the difference between the two so you make the right decision when it comes to selecting your package. In this post, I will break down you three key differences between professional headshots and branding photography- focus, length, and purpose.

 

Focus

With professional headshots, the focus is on you from the waist up. As the name implies, the main objective for professional headshots is to showcase your face. These photos will be your introduction to the world you influence.

In branding photography, they will include headshots but will also tell the story of who you are, what you do, and how you do it. Photos will not only be taken from the waist up, but will capture you interacting with the product you sell, engaging with clients, and/or document you working from behind-the-scenes! Whether you offer coaching services, sell a product, or provide online courses, branding photography is the best way to share your journey to the world.

Length

Professional headshots sessions typically last from 15 minutes to one hour depending on variables such as outfit changes, number of photos needed, or location switches.

WIth branding photography, since it is more extensive and go deeper into your type of field, they will take between 1-4 hours. Usually outfit changes, location switches, and types of photos determine the length of our session.

Purpose

Clients who come in for headshots typically will use them for various social media channels such as LinkedIn, photos for their bios that appear in books, and business cards. If you are in an industry where you are client-facing, professional headshots work best for you!

For those who want to go deeper and desire to capture not only their faces but want to show off their brand- whether it be personal or product-based, a branding shoot is the go-to choice! People who choose this route will have an immense variety of images to choose from that can be used in ads, social media, sales funnels, landing pages, speaking engagement graphics, etc.

Seven Types of Photos That You Need For Your Professional Branding Photo Session https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2022/3/seven-types-of-photos-that-you-need-for-your-professional-branding-photo-session Starting your journey as an entrepreneur or currently have a business and now you’re ready to put yourself “out there” is a huge step! Are you wondering what to do next?

1. Professional Headshot

  • This type of photo is the most common yet most important type of shot you need if you’re an entrepreneur or a small business owner. Headshots are used to showcase who you are across a variety of social networks and platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

Pedro_Adao_3.2020-1Professional headshotKingdom Entrepreneur Pedro Adao

 

2. Lifestyle Headshot

  • This is similar to a professional studio headshot but in a more casual setting. They are more candid in nature but still on a professional level. These type of shots can also be used across social networking sites and allows you to showcase more of your personality and lifestyle allowing the “know, like, and trust” factor to grow resulting in a deeper connection with your potential clients.

7. Family Life

  • A glimpse into your family life is one of the most underrated yet an impactful way to give people a glimpse of who you are aside from the professional life. These photos will help people know you as a real person and will enable your clients to see your core values and beliefs apart from business.

According to Google "The 2022 theme is "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." This theme is "both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history."

Erickson_Family_09.2019-98women's history monthoceanside, california

This is what women from all walks of life offer and bring! Throughout my years of being a local photographer in Orange County, California, I have been absolutely blessed to capture the beauty, resilience, and strength that the women I have served carry within themselves. Healing and hope has been my mantra and it starts in the family unit!

The women I have had the privilege to capture behind the lens come from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds. They are singles, newlyweds, married with four kids, entrepreneurs, teachers, stay-at-home moms, and everything in between!

Four Things You Need to Know For Your Professional Headshot Session https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2022/2/4-things-you-need-to-know-for-your-professional-headshot-session Here are four helpful tips to nail your professional portrait:
 

Mickler_5.2020-9Mickler_5.2020-9Headshot Tips
1. Confidence Is Key

This may sound cliche, but a professional headshot is the entryway into landing your dream job, client, contract, gig, etc. Your level of confidence is shown on your eyes and face. To muster up the confidence, get great sleep the night prior, pray/meditate, speak positive words over yourself and walk into your headshot knowing the great things about who you are! Your level of self-belief and confidence will translate through the photos and eventually through those that will be seeing your professional headshot!

2. Go For A Natural Look

While it is a great idea to get glammed up for your headshot session, do not go overboard. Go for a more natural look when it comes to hair and make-up. Guys, get a haircut, shave, and if you have a beard, get those lines straightened and cleared. Ladies, easy on the make-up and get your hair done if you struggle with frizzy hair.

3. Dress Appropriately

Clothes represent who you are to the world. Essentially it is key to your "brand". According to www.nlalorphotography.com, avoid distracting stripes and patterns, choose form-fitting clothing, bring a variety of necklines to mix up certain looks, select jewelry and accessories that won't overpower your portrait, bring a variety of light and dark colors you enjoy wearing, and anything that shows off your personal style the best! To see a sample of past clients styles, head over to www.unlimitedheadshots.com.

4. Background Selection

It's important to choose a background that isn't distracting yet highlights you. You can always go with the classic black and white backdrops, outdoors for a more natural look, or even your office to subtly let people know what kind of industry you are in. We can photograph you at our studio or on-site to expand your options.

Looking forward to more sun, flowers blooming, and fresh crisp air! Spring is definitely one of my favorite times of the year because of the newness of life it brings.

Vietnamese Tea Ceremony https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2022/1/vietnamese-tea-ceremony What goes on during a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony?

The Vietnamese Tea Ceremony or Đám Hį»i is a time when couples exchange rings, pay respects to their ancestors, and honor their parents. Ususally, the groom's side of the family will line up in a procession outside the house bearing gifts underneath red cloths that will be given to the bride and her family. Then someone close to the bride will be the official door greeter as he welcomes the groom and his procession into the bride's house.

Once everyone is inside the house, it's time for the introductions for each side of the family- including pictures of ancestors. The bride is then called out of her room and escorted to her husband-to-be. Depending on their faith, they will either ask God or their ancestors for blessing upon their union. Tea is then served by the couple to their parents as a sign of respect followed by advice and well-wishes from the parents.

After the tea ceremony, comes a time of feasting, fun, and getting to know each other's families! Traditional Vietnamese food is always sered but in the modern day, couples love to add their own creative twist to it.

HOW TO DRESS FOR YOUR FALL FAMILY PHOTOS https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2021/9/how-to-dress-for-your-fall-family-photos Fall is finally upon us!

 

The crisp, cool air. The changing weather. The falling leaves. The pumpkin spice everything (lol). 

 

What I love most about the autumn season is the changing of how the sun's position makes for a warmer type of lighting. You will want to select the type of clothing you wear so you can take advantage of the fall season's beautiful light tones.

Here are my top tips on what to wear during your fall family photo shoot!

 

1. Dress For the Weather

Though fall isn't as cold here in Orange County, CA compared to other places in the United States, having your family photos at the beach does get a little chilly- so check your weather app in advance and dress for the weather! Temperatures here in SoCal around fall time are around 60-70 degrees around evening time. I highly recommend wearing a cute sweater or cardigan to keep you warm and still look stylish! Herrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosHerrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosHerrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family Photos

 

2. Neutral And Muted

Bold and bright colors are best for those summer photo sessions but to take advantage of the fall's gorgeous light, think brown, peach, off-white, mustard to give your photos a warm look.  Herrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosHerrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosHerrera Family Crystal Cove Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family Photos

 

3. Color Coordination

Coordinating does not mean you have to dress exactly alike. Choose the colors that will enhance each other.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTOS? My Top Three Reasons https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2021/9/top-three-reasons-why-autumn-is-the-ideal-time-to-take-family-photos My favorite season of all-time is the fall! Autumn just brings out such a different vibe no matter where you are. Here in Southern California- especially down in Newport Beach located in South Orange County, although you don't get the classic falling leaves you do in the East Coast, that doesn't mean you can't experience the fall season in all of its glory. You can still get those fall vibes even at a Southern California beach!

 

Here are the top three reasons why the autumn season is THE ideal time to take your annual family photos:

 

1. The Weather

You don't have to worry about sweating up a storm but also not worry about freezing. Fall here in So Cal is a bit cooler compared to summer but not so cold that you're forced to layer up. If I would describe the weather in one word, it would be PERFECT! šŸ˜ 

Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosNewport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosNewport Beach Fall Autumn Family Photos

 

2. The Lighting 

During the fall season, the sun is lower in the sky. You don't get the harsh light you typically get in the summertime. What does that translate to? The coveted warmer tone in your photos!  Newport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosNewport Beach Fall Autumn Family PhotosNewport Beach Fall Autumn Family Photos

 

3. Holiday Cards!

With Christimas mere months away, you can use your new photos as holiday cards to send out to your loved ones!

TOP SECRETS TO HAVING FUN DURING YOUR FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2021/9/top-four-tips-on-how-to-have-fun-during-your-family-photo-shoot Shooting the A. family is always a joy because they are so much fun. This family photo session was taken in Newport Beach, CA which is known for their year-round temperate weather meaning it would easily translate into a gorgeous sunset photo session right on the beach! As you can see, they are a blast to be with and it shows in these pictures. The more fun you have, the less stress you experience during your time together.

 

But have you ever wondered how to make the most of your time and have fun during your family photo? I share my top secrets here!

 

1. Be Present and Simply Enjoy The Moment... and Each Other

If you're like me, it is easy to think ahead to the next task without concentrating on the moment in front of you. But that's not the way to truly enjoy life. Enjoy the moment. Cherish your time together as a family. You don't get moments like this all the time so make the most of it!

2. Find An Activity You All Enjoy Together

Tell a joke. Share a funny moment. Show some affection. If you have little ones, toss them up in the air. Run around. Family photos don't always have to be static. The best photos are the ones that show the in-between, candid moments.

3. Location Sets The Tone

Pick a location that your whole family enjoys. Since the A family loves the beach... beach it is! The right location will set the mood for the entire shoot.

MY FIVE HACKS TO A STRESS-FREE BEACH FAMILY SESSION https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2021/9/top-five-tips-to-a-great-beach-family-session With fall coming up and the holiday season around, that means it's time to take those annual family portraits! And for those of you who live in Southern California, the beach is a POPULAR spot- particularly sunset! 

 

Take for instance, the E. Family. This particular family photo session was taken in Oceanside, CA during the fall. You may think photo sessions that take place in autumn would be cold, overcast, and just plain ugly... but not so in Southern California! We're known for our year-round summer-like weather which makes taking pictures at the beachfront truly a memorable moment for you and your loved ones!

 

But for many families (especially with little ones) however, it might strike a little bit of anxiety planning for this... BUT TAKE HEART! Here are my top five tips to have a great beach family session:

 

1. LOCATION MATTERS

Choose a spot that your kids have the freedom to run and explore (don’t worry, you’ll still be able to get awesome shots!) but at the same time not too crowded with other visitors. If you need help with finding a spot, I certainly have recommendations!

2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING

We want to avoid harsh lighting and excessive heat. The best times to take photos at the beach is during “golden hour” which is an hour to an hour and a half before the sun sets. So have a light dinner beforehand and bring some snacks in case your loved ones get hungry.

3. PLANNING IS KEY

Make sure everyone in your family is made aware of the time and date of your session within a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend informing your family at least a week prior to our time together that way everyone is informed and not caught off guard.

4. DRESS FOR SUCCESS

What you confidently wear will translate onto the pictures. Solid colors work best and are the least distracting. Avoid clothing with graphics, logos, and writing. If you need help with wardrobe suggestions, I’d be happy to help!

5. LET LOOSE AND HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES

Last but certainly not least- HAVE A BLAST! If your kids (or husband) love frolicking in the water, let them! This is where capturing the priceless joy on their faces comes!

Gideon's 2nd Birthday https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2020/5/gideons-2nd-birthday Dear Gideon,

It’s midnight and I’m laying in bed while you have your feet on my chest laying side ways on the bed. While me and papa are forced to share less than half the bed on the other side. And honestly... I’m thinking... this won’t last. Cause one day you’ll want your own bed. One day you won’t want to snuggle in bed with me any more or let me sing you to sleep. So I’m just gonna let you prop your stinky feet on top of my chest.... and confess to the social media world that I’ve been in denial of you turning 2.

I thought to myself... well if I don’t show any photos... then it didn’t really happened. But as I was editing your birthday DAY photos... I couldn’t help but realize.... you DID turn 2... whether I wanted you to or not.

and you did grow and become a big boy even though I still see you as my baby....

the morning of your birthday... while you were still asleep I turned to your papa and just cried... because I couldn’t face the fact that you were now 2... a year older than you were a year ago... a year closer to not needing me to do most of everything for you. A year closer to moving out... a year closer to living your own dreams...

I’m glad we got to spend time together eating breakfast because one day you’ll be making your own. And I think I might just miss having to clean up after you have thrown your food all over the place cause that means you’re not a kid any more....

We thought really hard about what to get you for your birthday. You seem to be happy with just about anything... a wooden spoon that you’d use as a drum, a cup that you’d use to transfer water from cup to cup then to the floor, an orange that you would poke your finger through to make holes, or even flour to throw around... and we also could’ve gotten you more pop up books but we decided on this.

The Dog Dog. The thing you gravitate towards for nearly 30 minutes every time we visit target. You would go straight for the Dog Dog whenever we go into target and without fail... ride around on the Dog Dog forever.

 We didn’t buy it all those times cause we thought... well you love target and so do we so you can just ride it there. lol! But now that playing in target isn’t an option any more... we decided it was time we take home The Dog Dog.

To see your face light up every time you sit on it. And to hear you ask us to pull you around us the best. Your joy is our joy. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Mommy also loves the dog dog cause it is also a TSA approved luggage. Bahaha! So if you ever catch us at the airport most likely Gideon will be riding The Dog Dog

One of my favorite things to do with you is to prepare breakfast. Sometimes you help sometimes you don’t. But when you do it sure is a treat. Seeing you explore the textures, tastes the flavors, ask “this!?” And “this!?”, and then make a huge mess at the end (swipe to the end to see the mess). It’s worth it. So so worthit.


The morning of your birthday we made one of your favorite things.., PANCAKES! But these were extra special they had @everlastingferments sourdough in it so they were extra soft and moist and even slightly chewy!!! They were a big hit with you as always!

After you helped me “clean” by washing the dishes aka moving stuff around in the sink and splashing water everywhere. You don’t really “clean” the dishes but you definitely “wash” them and pre soak them so mama doesn’t have to scrub as much.

I’m excited to experiment with more foods with you this year!! I’m so proud of you and your taste buds you’ve grown to love more and more flavors each month. I really thought you would survive on kraut cereal and fruit for the rest of your life. But I’m glad your palate is developing and you’re appreciating AND tasting more things!

One thing I hope you remember are all the people that love you. The ones that have been there for you through thick and thin. The ones that have loved you before you were formed. The ones that cheered you on as you came into the world. The ones that picked you up when your heart was hurting. The ones that let you drag them around. The ones that make kraut and booch and yogurt for you. The ones that know your biggest pet peeves and your most favorite things. The ones that just get you. Those are the ones that I won’t ever let you forget.


Living in a home with friends and family is like living in a village with hand selected people that have chose to do hard things in life together and champion the victorious things.


I hope you remember those who have surrounded you in these past 2 years out of the womb and 9 months in the womb. We love you. We believe in you.


Thank you to all those who have sent so much love to Gideon via snail mail, shared a social distancing hug, video chatted, and just shared in the excitement for another year of life for our mighty man of valor.

I know your favorite time of day is NOT nap time. But secretly it’s my favorite time. But it’s also my least favorite time. It’s a time where we get to cuddle close while I sing and nurse you to sleep. It’s a time that you rest your legs on mine while you settle down. Or fight sleep all together and try to tickle me or run away from me. It’s also a time where I get to rest and recharge for a bit before we have fun again. But it’s also a time where I miss you being awake. It’s a weird combination of feelings that I feel at the same time. I know I need some rest, but I also can’t wait till you wake up.

When you do finally wake and come out of the room scraggly haired and groggy it’s one of my favorite looks on you. Your hair gets so disheveled from you sweating. Lol!

Usually after nap is lunch. One this particular day of your birthday we got your favorite thing... Raising Canes chicken tenders. Hahahaha! Your love for fried chicken runs deep and it always amazes me how much you can eat of it.

Papa me and enjoyed watching you eat your chicken and lick off most of the frosting from your @hapacupcakes . We didn’t want your birthday to be just any day. But rather a day of all your favorite things. And it truly was!

I love seeing you live your best life discovering new things everyday and in every way imaginable. My favorite thing to do is to watch you be in awe at the “normal” things that I take for granted. You give me fresh eyes for life, and an appreciation for the things that do would have never taken a moment to observe.


My biggest wish is to see you find joy in all life. To be able to come through any challenge and still feel victorious. To know that your worst fears are just temporary road blocks to your greatest wins.


With that being said, the second to last part of our day together you did what you always do. Eat oranges. Not one, not two, but FIVE. You probably ate most of the tree this season. And that’s ok. Getting to see you get all slippery and slobbery over oranges is the best thing ever.


I hope you never lose your wonder and will always hold onto your zest in life.

I’ve discovered that childhood is fragile. Because every time I look back at a day or time in the past it’s gone. I can’t hold on to it. I can’t smell it. I can’t experience it again. Every minute, second, hour, day, month, and year with you is fragile. I know that in a split moment... you’ll be become more of who you were meant to be. And I don’t blame you. Each stage of your life has been more fun than the next and your only 2!


I hope your future days months and years will be fun, fruitful, and festive. I look forward to making more memories with you. Thank you for being patient with me even when I was busy and couldn’t stop right away to play trains with you. Thank you for understanding when I told you something you didn’t want to hear. And thank you for always forgiving. Your big heart always inspires me to love, forgive, and move on.

Love you my little sunshine!

Love,

Mama

Brian and Colleen's Intimate Wedding https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2020/5/brian-and-colleen Brian and Colleen's wedding was sweet and intimate!

They were so joyful during the wedding and its stood out in these photos!

This was one of the last weddings that I photographed with my sister when she came back to visit almost 3 years ago. She now lives in New Zealand, so this particular wedding was super special to me. THe last wedding we shot together was almost 5-6 years before that when she still lived in the states.

Brian & Colleen reached out to me nearly a month before their wedding date, sharing their story about how they met, the intimate size of their wedding, and the reception being at Flemmings, and I was so stoked for them!

Its not a an easy task to plan a wedding around the holidays but because Brian & Colleen kept it simple, and focused on friends and family, everything worked out beautifully.

I love that about my brides & grooms, in all the decisions they make, they always think of their guests firsts even though it's their big day.

Enjoy the recap of their wedding below!

Home Life with Cloth Diapering https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2020/3/home-life-with-cloth-diapering Cloth Diapers

Flannel Wipes Cloth Diapers Liners Spray Bottles Foam Pumps Castille Soap Bidet

Wash 1-2 times before use

Use for pee, (poop if you're brave)

When Gideon poops I just bring him into  the shower now that he can stand.

When he was a baby I just washed his butt over the sink.

I bought about 24 diapers for about 2-3 diapers a day. Washing about every 2-3 days.

Wash hot 1-2 times before use

Daily wash warm/hot after a sink rinse with laundry detergent

Spray off all poop into toilet with a bidet

For heavy wetters i use two liners, one that is included with the diaper, and the other one is this one. so I bought four packs.

I still use disposables for night time cause Gideon pees A LOT.

 

I use this to spray Gideon after a pee.

Ingredients:

1 tsb: Castille Soap

5 Drops Lavender Essential Oil (optional)

Fill the rest up with Distilled Water

I use this to hand wash pee & poop diapers immediately after I change him. Or when I am in the shower i just stomp on them.

Ingredients for Diaper Wash:

1 Inch of Laundry Soap

Fill the rest with Distilled Water

LABEL the bottle with LAUNDRY SOAP

Ingredients for butt wash in the shower:

1 inch of Castille stop

Fill the rest with Distilled Water

LABEL the bottle with BUTT WASH

There are other cheaper castille soaps you can use, just find the organic one. I just use 1 tsb per spray bottle,  You can use this to spray down the poop into the toilet. Get close to the diaper when spraying so that you dont get sprayed on with poop.

Southern California Newport Beach Family Session at the Marriott Villas NewportNewport Beach Family Session at the Marriott Villas NewportNewport Beach Family Session at the Marriott Villas Newport, Christina Cho Photography

 

Five years went by soooooo fast!!!!! Probably because we spend too much time laughing and enjoying the moment. A family that laughs together stays together. Thank you Young family for another awesome time!!! 

We first met in 2014 and I had the pleasure of photographing their family for 5 years now at their most favorite location at the Newport Coast Marriott Villas in Sunny Southern CA. Watching their kids grow has been the most fun part of my time with them. There's always something new to look forward to. And always a new story to hear.

My first time meeting them was after they had flew down from San Francisco! Evan was their only child at the time. And it was so so sooo fun getting to know him. You'll see more of him in the classic car that's a landmark on this resort. 

2016 was the year I got introduced to Daphne!!!! She's the most precious little lady with quite the ability to tell stories. I loved seeing Evan and Daphne interact.

This year is my favorite. I know I say it every year but, not only have the kiddos grown. But so have the stories. SO MANY MORE STORIES. Especially from little miss Daphne. Evan knows everything about anything and that was so educational! Haha!! Mom and dad always look amazing and it was fun catching up on their travels.

Thank you Young Family for taking time out of your amazing vacations to see me every year. It's been such a blessing to watch your family grow. To get to know your kiddos better. And to hear about all of your adventures together as a family. I love how you put the fun first so that everyone can have a memorable time together. And not only that but to also build and grow stronger bonds with one another. I am just in awe! Until next time! 

Many Loves,

Christina

Becca & Jesse | Elopement in Huntington Beach | Christina Cho Photography https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/7/elopement-huntington-beach CHRISTINA_CHO_PHOTOGRAPHY_HUNTINGTON_BEACH_ELOPEMENT_0046CHRISTINA_CHO_PHOTOGRAPHY_HUNTINGTON_BEACH_ELOPEMENT_0046

Jesse knew his bride Becca deserved only the best, and this was the best that he could find for her. He said (and it shows out of every part of his being) that she deserves this and sooooooo much more. I believe it. They both have such incredible testimonies of how their love came about, and also how redemptive their marriage was to their families. A celebration to commemorate the occasion was only fitting. Thank you Kimpton Shore Break Hotel for making their stay so incredible. And can I just say the ocean view from their room was šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

The first time I chatted with Becca I heard her share about a recent loss in the family, along with nearly lifetime of hardship. Then she met Jesse who swept her up in his generously loving arms and helped her heal inside out. We teared up, laughed, and connected in a way that made me envision only the most beautiful captures for their elopement. They were traveling all the way from Seattle to elope on the beach of Huntington. And I felt so honored to be chosen by them. She then described her dress and shoes to me (cause I always ask), and she mentioned she found the most glittery pumps ever. And the moment she said GLITTER even my eyes sparkled LOL! I love me some good glitter. (Trust me... I would know... ask all of my bridesmaids...). When I got to see her shoes in person, and when she said that she rarely dresses up, not to mention wear makeup or anything remotely glittery, I felt in the deepest of my heart that what seemed like a total “opposite” choice in shoes, is really just an outward sign of healing in her heart. To see literally her come alive when she showed me the shoes and also put them on... it was seriously a moment of beauty for ashes. I saw the past left far behind her... and the realization that she doesn’t have to live in that in any made her radiate a beauty incomparable to any other. 

These two represent the epitome of renewal, joy, kindness, and love. Not just because they glowed like sunshine on their wedding day, not just because they love each other so deeply, and also not just because it miraculously stopped raining and the sun came out for exactly the four hours that we needed... BUT BECAUSE they have endured hardships and have intentionally CHOSE to make a life that is BETTER with and for one another. I was in shock and in awe at their story. Normally my wedding inquiries are very lengthy due to the fact that I don’t shoot weddings often. Only because my selection process is long, very in-depth, and extremely selective... for this one reason. FAMILY. Weddings are beautiful and I love them, but after having a family of my own I realized that being away from my family for a whole day, and along with editing for weeks on end week after week after week after week... just wasn’t practical. But when THESE TWO EXTRAORDINARY HUMANS contacted me with their story... honestly I just sobbed. They detailed how they met and what they’ve been through... and I couldn’t help but want to capture their celebrations for their new beginnings. I’m thankful for people who still believe in love after hardships. My heart still explodes each and every time I think of these two.
 

 

In all of that I just wanted to share with any of my friends experiencing hardship, there is beauty hidden in the midst of your ashes. No matter how bleak things may seem, there’s always hope. Trust the process. Thank you Becca and Jesse for inspiring me a hope beyond words. Your love for one another truly is redemptive in all aspects of life. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

This spot was on our top locations for bride and groom photos. Little did Becca and Jesse know... that someone had a surprise for them (I didn’t even know... swipe to see.). A sweet man visiting from Brazil came over with his classical guitar and played a ballad for them. They had a tender moment to themselves and he was so entertaining we all couldn’t help but laugh and smile so big that our faces hurt. Yes mine too. So cheers to spontaneity. I’m so glad this moment happened because it totally set the mood for the rest of their wedding day

Stephen's In Home Newborn Family Session | Los Angeles, California https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/6/in-home-newborn-family-session-los-angeles-california In Home Lifestyle Newborn Family Session Wearing Beige, Grey, Black and Yellow.In Home Lifestyle Newborn Family Session Wearing Beige, Grey, Black and Yellow.

I've had the pleasure of knowing the Stephens family for several years now, documenting their engagement, wedding, pregnancies (with Jude & Monroe), and Jude's 1st Birthday!!! We had a ton of fun with their past sessions, so coming into this particular session where they are now a family of FOUR, I was stoked to see how Jude would interact with his little sister!

We started the session in the master bedroom where we caught some beautiful window light near their french doors. Jude is an absolute gentleman with his little sister, and I love seeing how much he adores her. Even though it was Monroe's newborn session, it was equally Jude's Big Brother session as well haha!! 

His sniffs, squeals, and loves on his sister were so so sweet I think I probably said "awww", "that's so cuuutee" probably a million times during their session. 

After spending some generous time in the master bedroom, along with a diaper change, feeding, and nap, we moved into the nursery where Monroe had a chance of clothes, and we documented her in her adorable crib. (I lowkey want her crib bedsheet because THAT is goals). During that time Jude hung out with dad while mom tended to baby.

By the end of our session, usually everyone's beat, and can take a good nap, but Monroe looked like she could keep going so we did a few more of her in her birthday suit and called it a day! 

Thanks again Stephens family for always welcoming me into your home with open arms. The gorgeous light and atmosphere you've created in your house makes it warm, inviting, and filled with so much love! Excited to see Monroe and Jude continue to grow throughout the years!

Many Loves, 

Christina

Stephens In Home Maternity Session | Los Angeles, California https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/6/in-home-maternity-session-los-angeles-california In Home Maternity Session with Grey, Navy, and TealIn Home Maternity Session with Grey, Navy, and Teal

The Stephens family is near and dear to my heart! They're expecting their sweet little one very soon! I had the pleasure of joining them in their home (again!) For their maternity session, and I must say it was one of my favorites (yes I know I always say that but they really are!). 

This session of theirs was fun because I got to see how Amanda would decorate the nursery for the new family member, and I also got to see Jude's excitement for his sibling! We had the chance to step outside for a little to enjoy a bit of a nature walk near their home. The sun was out, the breeze was amazing, and Jude had a blast climbing the trees.

I can't wait to meet the Stephens family member #4!! Soon and very soon! 

In the meantime you can enjoy some of their past sessions here! 

Engagement, wedding, maternity session (with Jude), and Jude's 1st Birthday

The Ngo Family Session at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito Hills, California https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/family-session-san-ysidro-ranch-in-montecito-hills-california A family session wearing white and yellow in a flower garden on a bright daySanta Barbara Family Session at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito Hills, CA

A few weeks ago, my family embarked on one of the most fun roadtrips ever with our beloved friends Amee, Terry, and their daughter Emery! We started out as early as our little ones would allow us which was about 10am packed all of us into a HUGE van, and made our way out to Montecito! Amee and Terry had wanted to document Emery's 1st year of life which would be coming up soon, and this was a perfect day to remember it! She's growing so fast and is learning all new things and it was great to just watch her bloom!

Gideon, and Emery had a blast in the car together, feeding off each other's energy, and also feed one another their toys. LOL! It was so fun to watch them together.

As we approached San Ysidro Ranch, it welcomed us with a gorgeous driveway lined with trees and arches. It took me back to looking at photos of Provence, France. It was absolutely incredible. As you drive up the hill, this little gem is completely hidden until you turn the corner and then you're transported into another place across the world. The landscaping, and architecture was stunning. Everything was meticulously
placed and designed. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. I've been to many amazing wedding venues, but this by far has been my favorite venue to photograph.  

What was even better was that Amee, Terry, and Emery had the perfect ensemble to fit into the landscape. Their white and pop of yellow was so effortless. They looked like they were part of the property. I really loved, how their outfits accompanied the florals and didnt take away from the venue but rather added their own place to the gardens, and flower beds. 

If you ever get a chance to visit this location, I would say you really have to try Stonehouse Restaurant while you're there as well. The service, food, and atmosphere was superb. It honestly was one of the best fine dining experiences I've had in a long time, so thank you Amee and Terry for the amazing time. It will always be remembered.

I hope you'll enjoy a little walk through their time at the Ranch as much as I did. Photos do not do this venue any justice! I hope to come back and stay at their hideaways one of these days!

After visiting the ranch we made a trip to Santa Barbara to have some ice cream at McConnells! One of Amee and Terry's favorite places for dessert! Emery got in on the ice cream action too. So much so that it got all over her face, and it was one of the most adorable things ever!!!!

It had started to rain, so we did one last photo of the iconic Santa Barbara buildings and streets then headed home! It was truly a fun day together with their family!!!!

When I imagined what it would be like to be a mom.... https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/what-it-would-be-like-to-be-a-mom When I imagined what it would be like to be a mom I thought that life would be more busy, less sleep, changing diapers all day, playing peekaboo 5 billion times, being a milk machine, and not getting my bed back. And you know what I was so freaking right. And so wrong at the same time. It was all of that along with this indescribable joy that’s intertwines itself among the crevice of every moment... every place in my being... every place that I feel existence it’s there that crazy explosive JOY. How is it possible that a human can bring out so much HAPPINESS in your life. I honestly thought after marriage the joy of being in a long term forever committed relationship with someone I am head over heels in love with would be enough... but having a child of my own is it’s own JOYFUL animal. It’s own category of joy. And I’m thankful to be blessed with the opportunity to live this life of mine with all the sorts of JOY life offers. What’s next? I don’t know but when I’ve been told that this isn’t the last of it... then I’m all open arms hands up, GIVE IT TO ME. The sacrifice is worth it every time.

Gideon's 1st Year of Life... a recap https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/gideons-1st-year-of-life-a-recap Gideon's First Year of Life Newborn to ToddlerGideon's First Year of Life Newborn to Toddler  I cant believe 1 year passed by so quickly. I know along the way everyone kept telling me it was going to be fast but I really didnt think it would be THAT fast. I'm trying my hardest to cherish each and every moment as much as I can but I can't seem to catch up with myself at all. 

I love this kid so much that I prepared my body for years prior before having him. (Tried) To stay away from alcohol, ate as healthy as I possibly could, worked out, took prenatals, quit my day jobs, established my work from home job as a photographer, and got settled down as a at-home business owner, and housemaker. It was a great life. 

Then Gideon came into the world after nearly 24 hours in labor, 2 hours pushing, 9 months of waiting, and a whole life time of expecting... He came and just shattered my world. What I THOUGHT I knew about kids, what i THOUGHT I knew about parenting, and motherhood, and emotions, and healing, and taking your time, and loving yourself, and taking care of someone else... SHATTERED. I'm wrecked. I'm still a wreck in terms of figuring things out. But it's a good kind of wreck. 

I've learned to love even when I feel like I have NO love left to give. 
I've learned to find strength when I have ZERO strength.
I've learned to nourish even when I'm feeling undernourished myself.
I've learned to give warm even when my body isnt.
I've learned to protect even when I'm vulnerable.
And most of all I've learned to pray new prayers that I've NEVER have prayed before.

All this... because of my son Gideon. And I consider it one of the greatest blessings ever. Now I know why some families love having lots of kids. The blessings, the craziness, the tireness, the love, the fun, everything... just magnifies. But it's a good kind. The one where you look back a year, 10 year, 20 years... decades down the line and see your family tree and say to yourself... Wow... what an adventure we all had TOGETHER.

So this is to our first true adventure together as a family. With Gideon. Katzy and I couldnt have been prouder.

Nguyen Family at the Long Beach Exchange, in Long Beach, CA https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/long-beach-exchange-family-session Burgundy, grey, and black Family Session at the Long Beach Exchange, CaliforniaBurgundy, grey, and black Family Session at the Long Beach Exchange, California

It wasnt that much long ago, 10 years to be exact where I got to witness Gemie & Peter's wedding ceremony in Huntington Beach, California. 10 years later, 2 kids, and a lot of stories to share between the two of them, they will be celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary with a vow renewal session this week! I'm SO excited to witness them renew their vows in front of their kids, and at a location where they got married!

Every year I get to hang out with their family for their annual family session, but this year will be a little more special than usual. Typically our sessions start out at a fun location of their choice where they 1. havnt been in a LOOONGGG time, 2. have LOVED visiting as a family frequently, or 3. have visited just a few times but want to get to know more of it!. LBX is the third one! It's a new shopping/eating plaza with familiar and new eateries and shops. Super cute aeronautical theme EVERYWHERE. Travel, runway, airport, airline, time, the works! I highly recommend visiting if you have a chance because there are cute things EVERYWHERE! Especially if you're into planes!

The Nguyen family really love exploring new food places together, along with new sites so this location was SOO perfect for them! There's a mix of modern farm house, and urban-industrial, along with old school adventurer. I loved how they incorporated the old with the new making things feel really refreshing to the eyes. The Nguyens opted for burgundy, grey, and black ensemble, and honestly it couldnt have been more perfect.  I thought it was super cute, and it wasnt too matchy matchy at all. The LBX had similar hues so it worked out great!

Thanks you guys for the great time at the LBX! Can't wait to see you this week for your vow renewal!!!!!!!

An & Ruth at The SmogShoppe, Los Angeles || Part II https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/an-ruth-part-ii Part I

Part II Continued Below

 

After their wedding ceremony we had a chance to sneak An & Ruth away for some sunset photos around the venue! It was truly a beautiful day with a beautiful sunset in the late afternoon, along with shade all around. Once we got our final bride and groom photos in, it was time for the reception and Cafe Au Love put together something that was so sweet, airy, light, and gorgeous. It suited the bride and groom and their aesthetic so well! The Smog Shoppe's decor also added to the wedding's vision and I loved how it all came together!

During the reception An & Ruth played their favorite Anime, Ponyo! It was a great hit and we all loved the adorable scenes. Dessert was ice cream and home baked goods, which... were SO GOOD (yes I snuck a few bites). Totally them. ALL of it! Sweet and simple. I was acually surprised there wasn't a cake, but again, being them, sweet and simple, they got right to the desserts without any distractions. I loved it!

Thanks again An & Ruth for spoiling your friends and family with your love. We all had so much fun and you guys truly are incredible.

Do Family Session at Oso Park in Mission Viejo, California https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/oso-park-mission-viejo-family-session purple maroon and yellow colored family session at Oso Park in Mission viejoThe Do Family Session at Oso Park in Mission Viejo, California

I first met the Do family several years ago, which began a sweet relationship between me and their family! I've had the opportunity to watch both their kids grow up over the years and it's been so amazing to see all their changes. Mama Christine always has creative ideas for outfits and I love how she pieces unique ones together every year. Chloe and Austin have a sweet brother sister relationship that many siblings can relate to. Bickering, but loving all at the same time. I think those are the best kind of relationships. Where an older sibling loves to dote on their younger one and take care of them, but also leave a good amount of room to make fun and kid around.

One of the most distiguishing things about the Do family is that they always bring Christine's mom, I call her Co, along with their sessions. She protrudes a matriarchal aura around her where you cant help but give her respect, honor, and love. I love being able to see their family dynamic over the years! Can I also mention that Co never ages? I dont know what kind of serum, food, or regimen she's doing but it's working, and I need some of that in my life!!!

Thank you so much Do family for hanging out with me again! It's been such a joy and I cant wait to see you again!!!

VI and Karen hosted one of the most epic birthday parties ever! It consisted of a DIY spring roll table where you can load up on seafood and beef, home made fried rice with the most amazing texture, a DIY boba bar with honey boba and flavored sake. It was a party that was planned and executed to the T! It was so fun, celebrating the twins Huy & Vi, along with Karen & Gideon's birthday!!!! Huy & Vi got Gideon the most adorable cake-smash cupcake that he demolished!!! Gideon was born on April 25th, and if you're a fan of Miss Congeniality, you'll remember the scene where Miss Rhode Island, Cheryl is asked what's her idea of a perfect date, and she says "That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket." And that's exactly what Huy & Vi got Gideon for his birthday! The coolest light jacket! Thank you for hosting at your home Karen & Vi! It was so so fun!!!!!

Friday introductions! Hi! If you’re new here to my blog just wanted to say hello and introduce myself! I’m Christina, and this is my husband Katzy. Though my full time job is a photographer, my other full time occupation is a mama to the little dude who just turned one in my previous three posts!

Katzy and I are full time parents, and have full time jobs. Meaning... we are Gideon’s primary care taker during the day and night and also are working in our fields every other day.

Something most may not know is that this was an intentional direction we wanted to go with our family. It took many years of soul searching to see what careers would be a good fit for us to achieve this goal of being stay at home parents... and me pursuing photography, and Katzy entering into full time ministry fit perfectly.

How we got here didn’t happen over night and was actually a 10 year process of working multiple jobs at a time, saving up, communicating, planning, and working our butts off.

I went fulltime into photography two years ago after leaving one of the best jobs ever. If I were to ever go back into a regular job I’d prob do it all over again. It was a huge consideration and required a lot of sacrifice but knowing that we wanted to be home with our kids took that initial step of faith. .
When I first met Katzy I knew his heart was to always serve God’s people. I loved that deeply about him. And we would question how can we do that and still raise a family. It wasn’t until 10 years later did he finally leave his day job to pursue the dreams in his heart.

And now a year later after delivering Gideon I’m still in awe that we are able to both be here for him. A lifelong dream... taking nearly 10 years to accomplish seems like forever. But in that time it honestly felt like we’d never get there.

We kept asking God and ourselves... when... when... when... and He kept reminding us... just be faithful where you’re at. .
Do you have a big dream that seems far away? I’d love to hear! Keep dreaming and don’t give up!

Kathleen & Her Boys | Huntington Beach Central Park Mommy and Me Session https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/5/mommy-and-me-huntington-beach southern california photographer, california family photographer, family photography, family photographer orange county, orange county family photography, orange county family photographer, huntington beach photographer, huntington beach photography, huntington beach family photographysouthern-california-destination-family-photographer_0042

Never in my life have I met someone more resilient than Kathleen. She and I met in college nearly over a decade ago, and we bonded quickly over the fact that our last names were alphabetical while assigned seating were arranged in our Biology Class at Orange Coast College. Her's is Chung, mine is Cho. It was a friendship that was meant to be. Over the years I've seen her endure some devastating hardships that no one should ever have to go through, but she continue to this day to be one of the strongest women in my life. 

I'm incredibly inspired by her love for her sons, and for her her family. She is viciously loyal and faithful to the call of being a mother, daughter, sister, friend. I'm thankful for someone like her in my life because it encourages me to be the best mom I can be regardless of any circumstances to my son as well. 

I believe everyone faces hard times in their lives, but it's how they decide to face them is the true test of their character. 

So thank you Kathleen for being that source of light in my life to believe in the good when there seems to be none, and to hold on to hope when everything seems to draw to an end. 

You're amazing!

Gideon's First Birthday | Lifestyle Day Session https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/4/gideons-first-birthday-lifestyle-day-session Today is the day I’ve look forward to and dreaded the most. It’s the day YOU my darling turn one. I never thought that in those moments when we had our hardest times that it would come this fast. I thought time was passing by so slowly that it was never going to get any better than this. But it just keeps getting better with you. Every day. Every moment. Every squeal, snot, boogar, bath, meal, adventure... it keeps getting better and better. I wanted to give you something that you could remember forever for your birthday. And a toy was something I knew you would get sick of. So I hired a photographer to come and follow you around for a day to capture everything you like and don’t like to do. Most of them are likes tho.... end of part 1 of 3. // photos by @haileighnoelle

How you usually start your day is with a smile. Then we have breakfast, play time, and nap time. Repeat, wake up with smile, lunch time, play time, nap time. Repeat, wake up with smile dinner time, bath time, play time, night time. I could do this for a million years with you. But I know one day this schedule will change... you will change... time will change... I will change... papa will change... and something new will come. But I’m not living in the future I’m living in the now... with you. With all of your squishy thighs, hugs, cuddles, kisses, and 1 year old-ness. Can you please just slow down a little so mama can catch up with you? You’re growing so fast and learning so much. And becoming such a toddler... I wasn’t ready for this. I only prepared myself for a newborn and infant when you came into this world... but nothing in any book could prepare my heart for the impact you would have on me. I thought it’d just be me having an impact on you... but honesty it’s the other way around. And it makes me miss the little you, and look forward to the big you even more.... end of part 2 of 3.... // photos by @haileighnoelle

Our time together seems to never end. Even when the sun goes down. We’re still enjoying a moment together or two. I’m trying to enjoy every second and just breathe it in as much as I can cause I know it’ll be gone in the next. But I’m thankful I can look back on moments like this and remember how we connected. Our family is better because of you. It’s bigger because of you. It has more love because of you. It has more joy because of you. It has less sleep because of you. It has more adventures because of you. We eat more. Play more. Hug more. Kiss more. And most of all pray a whole lot more because of you. We love you so so much little buddy. Happiest 1st birthday to you!!!! I hope you’ll enjoy your day today!!!!!!!! Sorry mama doesn’t believe in physical presents but physical presence so you’ll get an adventure of sorts today. Hahaha. Don’t be mad. You can buy your own toys when you make your own money one day. LOL! I love you so freaking much! Papa loves you just the same. We love celebrating you!!!.... end Part 3. // photos by @haileighnoelle

An & Ruth at The SmogShoppe, Los Angeles || Part I https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/4/an-ruth-smogshoppe-wedding-los-angeles Classy Rustic Wedding at Modern Boho Industrial Warehouse, Smog Shoppe Los AngelesClassic Rustic Wedding at the Smog Shoppe Los Angeles An and Ruth had their wedding at the SmogShoppe in Los Angeles and it was one of the most beautiful days ever! I had first met An over 2 decades ago in our family's church. We soon parted ways to attend different churches later on in life. An met Ruth at his new church, and soon started a sweet relationship between the two! I got to finally meet Ruth a few years later and found that she is the perfect match for An. She not only loves his shiba inu, Tsuki, but she also complements him really well. She is the sweetness to his seriousness and the joy to his laughters. I've really loved getting to know Ruth more during our time planning their engagement session and wedding, so I'm super happy that An met such a wonderful gal to be his bride, and now wife!

During their wedding day I arrived with Jackie (my second photographer for the ceremony), and Katzy (he photographed the reception). Araceli and her team from Cafe Au Love did such an incredible job planning the day. It was so smooth and everything went as planned. For An and Ruth's first look we opted for the side of the SmogShoppe building where there were many smiles from both the bride and groom when they saw each other for the first time that day. I really enjoyed seeing their reactions, and recommend first looks for anyone looking to have a few moments with their future spouse!

The ceremony was so amazing. It was led by their pastor of Numa Church. He spoke so much about how he first met An, and was so amazed by how God moved through An to bring healing to his leg. And how Ruth is so incredibly talented in the arts and complements An who isnt as well versed in arts but now appreciates it so much more. I loved hearing how pastor knew both of them, and loved them both, and have helped to see them be where they are today. Pastors who really take the time to know the people they disciple and mentor means so much especially when they are asked to be officiants. I makes the wedding ceremony so much more meaningful and personal. 

When it was time for cocktail hour and the reception we had tons of fun seeing all the incredible details in the reception area. Araceli, and Leafy Floral Design really transformed the area so well and it was absolutely beautiful!! We had a ton of laughs watching their games, capturing the rare dance moves from the bride and groom, and the hilarious ones from their guests. I'm thankful I got to be a part of their day along with Jackie and Katzy beside me!!!  I hope you enjoy the images from their wedding in the slideshow above!

2019 And living in authenticity as a new mom https://www.christinacho.com/blog/2019/4/2019-photography-blog-mommy-and-me Mother and son photoshoot in downtown long beach californiasouthern-california-destination-family-photographer

Living in authenticity publicly is something I’ve always struggled with

Authenticity is my greatest strength and my greatest weakness. Let me explain. It’s easier to capture the authenticity of someone else’s life than it is to share my own. These past few months my time has been spent not just working, but also reevaluating and finding the right words to express where my heart is. 

This year I really wanted to explore places in my heart that I havnt uncovered or have hidden away due to trauma or pain. Opening those boxes have been quite emotional but liberating. It’s brought me to a point in my life where I can’t let past hurts dictate my future moving forward. And I can’t let the words of those who didn’t believe in me cause me to not believe in myself. 

So how do I choose to move forward? Do things that bring me joy. Yep it’s like #mariekondo but for your heart. And what do those things look like? Spending time with Gideon and Katzy. Making home videos. Capturing families in their homes. Cooking brunch. Getting bogo boba. Being intentional with my time with friends. And most of all releasing all my inner turmoil-struggles-thoughts-mindsets to Jesus. 

Letting go so that I can move on with a fresh slate. It’s a constant meditative action. There would be moments where I’m alone and things from my past would rush through and bring up painful memories again. Then I’d have to tell myself... give it to God. Being a first time mom, there's a lot to learn in the process of growing a child. And not only that but also growing into my place as a mom as well. Since Katzy and I work at home we both take turns around the clock caring for Gideon. Which gives us barely any time for ourselves, but we make do with it. With the little time that I do have for myself these thoughts have been building up and allowing me to process where I'm at in life. So...

I’m thankful that I don’t have to bear the burdens of my past nor do I have to put it on anyone else. Being able to have a creative outlet helps a lot too. It forces my mind to think of the “now” and of what’s in front of me rather than sulking in the past. 

I’ve met other artists who have had the same experiences and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. 

This is a fresh new start for my blog. As you guys have been accustomed to me blogging only about my work, but I think it's time to share a bit about myself in the midst of work. Because... my work is NOT my identity. I am me because it is who God made me to be. I'm thankful I have an outlet for my craft, but I also need an outlet for my own personal projects as well. So here it is. Here I am. And thank you always for your love and support all these years. More to come soon.

Love,

Christina

It's been quite a hiatus but truly an amazing one!!!!! I've been focusing on some personal things that are closest to my heart like family and relationships and it's been incredibly fruitful!! One of the relationships that I've really cherished are with my girls!!!!!!!! Please welcome the official one and only EXTRAORDINARY GALS OF TEAM CHRISTINA CHO PHOTOGRAPHY! You guys... what I do as a business would not be possible with my ladies.

These are my right and left hand women. No exaggeration. So thankful for them! With my 2017 resolution to spend more time with family, especially Katzy, and NOT behind a screen all day... these women have been instrumental in helping me with the business side of things so I can stick to that resolution. The gals and I have a few things up our sleeves this year and I could not imagine a more talented, creative, and fun group of ladies to run with!!! Be on the lookout!!! We're cominggggggggg!!!!!!!

AND TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAYYYYY!!! Happiest birthdays BAILEEEEYYYYYYY!!!! ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤šŸ˜ 🐶🐶🐶 Get to know her a little more! "Growing up I was constantly jumping around between hobbies and passions. The summer before my sophomore year of high school I picked up a camera and the rest is history. Now my biggest passions in life include photography, videography, and Jesus. It has been amazing during these past few years seeing how God has worked all my passions together and all to glorify him. I am also very excited to see what He has planned for my future. I spend my free time hanging out with friends, filming and hangout out with my dog Charlie. I am a junior in high school and am currently working on college applications and hope to attend my dream school USC. My favorite things to shoot are definitely people- sometimes it's simply my friends being models or doing a winter formal or prom shoot.

Two of three of my EXTRAORDINARY GALS!!! She's quite the amazing artist! @jaclynnetran šŸ˜»šŸ˜»šŸ˜»
"As I was growing up, I found myself developing many passions such as photography, videography, sewing, reading, writing, traveling, and above all Jesus. Ironically, I was raised by a business owner and engineer! When I was a kid, I loved photography and writing. There was so much enjoyment capturing and visually seeing moments in photography. There was also immense happiness describing and telling stories. I picked up videography to create videos and post it for my family members back home whenever I’m on a missions trip. My passion for writing continuously pushes me to work into becoming a writer either on my own or for an entertainment industry. For now, I am excited to work with Christina learning more about all the areas of my creative passions in both photography AND videography!

"I have a few things I am passionate about: photography, ministry, health, traveling, and Jesus. I don't know how Jesus is going to use all these passions that he has given me to further His kingdom, but I am excited for how He is using photography in this season of my life.
I love newborn shoots. Capturing the precious moments between new parents and their child is so sweet. I'm very excited to be working with Christina; her love for love is contagious and her desire to give back is inspiring."
