Last Summer I decided I want to try underwater photography. I did quite a lot of researching on the equipment and realized I simply can't afford it. No, mam! Even the waterproof cases - the ones I would trust to use, not the DIY ziplock bags. So, I was kind of sad I had to... Continue Reading →
Fresh Ginger-Fruit Tea
I am not a water drinker. I love coffee and tea. I need flavor. Last summer, for example I had been drinking LEMON CUCUMBER (or LEMON RASPBERRIES) water and that worked just fine for me. This year I am trying a new discovery. Fresh ginger. I call it a "tea" because it requires boiling water. It... Continue Reading →

Self-Portrait of the Photographer {Portrait Photography, San Jose, CA}
Who’s up to a challenge? 🙂
Taking pictures is my passion. It is a passion of every photographer out there, at least this is what I believe in.

No.1 is very particular about the color or texture of her food. So if there is... Continue Reading →

Southland Sightseeing
It feels like ages since I wrote my last post. Well, it's been a rough road that last month. Lots of ups and downs and something close to an aversion towards blogging. Nothing personal, just too little energy and too much in my head. No.1 turned 3 I managed to have two photo sessions. One... Continue Reading →
Photo Art Friday, b-day girl and spiders
First of all... No.2 is ONE YEAR OLD This young lady origins from the grumpy kind (my blood). Very recently she has learned to climb on mom's bread machine. She walks like a pro, but sometimes she still prefers to get on four - mostly when she has to keep up with her Big Sis.... Continue Reading →
Crochet Granny Squares Kid’s Poncho and Hat
This project had its beginning because of a few left-over granny squares. When I saw them I immediately thought about making granny squares hat for my daughter; I came across one somewhere on Pinterest and it stuck in my head since. So, as soon as I dug out those left-over squares from a box with... Continue Reading →
