Today’s shoot at Super Franks was to capture their exciting new changes.
NEW Set-Up @ Taught Town Safari
Now there is more seating, a centralized play area for the toddlers, a different home for the deluxe slide and some new toys!
NEW Jumpy @ the Gym
Little kids and big kids alike will love this new GIANT jumpy!
Look at [...]
Annie Tao getting a new lens = a kid in a candy shop… a bee in a field of flowers… a shoppoholic in NYC…
So, as any addict would have it, I couldn’t help myself. I HAD to keep shooting… shooting different things to further investigate the abilities of the Nikon 60mm 2.8 macro lens.
What if [...]
I received my new lens last night: the Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED, a cool macro lens for close-ups!
So a couple hours ago, when my monkeys were in their rooms napping, I got to put the lens on and take it for a test run!
Here are a few of my test shots from around my house.

For a little over 4 weeks now, Baby Ava has only cried when her daddy held her. In fact, Lawrence claims that she cries even louder when he holds her than when she is left alone!
She cries when she’s tired, she cries when she’s hungry, she cries when she wants mom, she cries just because. [...]
Oh where oh where has the time gone?
Baby Ava is 1 month old!
“Hey, Mister Giraffe is the same height as I am!”
When I Am Older…
Will I be a singer? An artist? A gourmet chef? The President? A teacher? A fruit-picker?
As long as I am happy, my momma says.
I had the privilege of being one of the first to see Super Franks‘ new Taught Town play area for little ones, called Fish Tank!
When you enter the Fish Tank, you enter the mystical underwater “room”, which takes up most of the upstairs floor. And just like the former golf course, this play area is [...]

Don’t laugh.
There is such a thing as Monkey Bread! And it doesn’t entail monkey heads or parts of actual monkeys, like it may sound.
I know Chinese people can eat some pretty interesting stuff, like tripe and sea cucumbers, but nope, Monkey Head Bread is kinda like cinnamon rolls.
My sister-in-law sent it to me [...]
Dr I-Chi Hsu, the coordinator of FLICAM and China’s largest ceramics museum and artists’ workshop in Fuping, is the lucky 77 this year!
Here are a few photos of Dr Hsu to commemorate this big birthday.
Stylin’
With a striped shirt, custom-made suspenders, and neatly manicured mustache… Dr Hsu is stylin’!

The white cuffs complement his white [...]
Since I’m on maternity leave (aka, no client photoshoots), I resort to taking photos of my own family. So if you’re sick of looking at my kids, well… sorry, but you’ll have to deal with it for another few weeks!
A couple days ago, I noticed the warm afternoon light was streaming in through [...]
My clients are some of the most thoughtful, caring and coolest folks I’ve ever met! Maybe that’s why many of them turn into friends.
This morning, one of my clients dropped off breakfast for me and my family! It is a recipe that she heard I was drooling about, but haven’t had the time to make [...]
