It's the end of the year, and Christmas is right around the corner. For us it's also the time we'd better get some family photos to send folks since we don't have many photos of all three of us together and that is just a yearly tradition. We had been thinking about whom to ask for this big favor of taking family pictures and since Dad in DC couldn't be here :( we thought Monica seemed to be the perfect choice to be the photographer. We were so glad that she was so willing to help us without any hesitation. She was so trilled for our giving her this opportunity to do something she loves that she couldn't even fall asleep that night...Now, that is a passion of taking pictures!
The day finally came and here we were in a beautiful snow filled park and mountain in Utah where Ryan suggested we go. They are also the places where Monica and Ryan took their bridal photos.
We had so much fun that day, even though Virginia wasn't in a good mood as you could see, but it was her first real experience with snow, which was neat! It was a great day to be together as a family, be with friends, and the beautiful creation of God.
We are also so grateful for Monica and Ryan's patience and their effort and time. Thanks to Monica's passion for people and photography! (She took a total of up to 200 pictures, not to mention in the cold, snowy weather. Is that a true devotion or what? :D ) Thanks for Ryan's support and great assistance for the whole thing, he really did an amazing job with Virginia. He was the "perfect picture spot finder" and the snow bulldozer.
Finding "the one" favorite family picture can be really tough and challenging, not mention from the many wonderful pictures Monica took for us! It also requires a lot of communication, cooperation, negotiation and compromise as a couple...Even through a simple thing as picking a family picture out to put on a Christmas card, not the most important thing in the world, a couple can work together and grow closer. This was a precious learning experience!

一年已到了尾聲, 聖誕節也即將來到, 對我們而言也是我們該照些家庭照的時候以延續每年的傳統, 因為我們真的沒有幾張一家三口的合照。之前一直在想究竟該拜託誰幫我們照相,想來想去,Monica似乎是我們的最佳攝影師的人選。在跟她提出這個請求後, 她不但一口答應沒有任何遲疑, 甚至當晚因為太興奮我們給她這個機會做她喜愛的事情而難以入睡, 那真的是對攝影的熱愛啊!
照相的日子終於來到, 而我們來到了Ryan建議的美麗的公園及山林裡, 那裡也是Monica和Ryan拍攝他們婚紗照的地方。 我們玩得很開心, 即使藹伶心情很不好, 那真的不像平時的她, 畢竟這是她第一次來到雪地裡, 但我們還是很開心能與親愛的家人, 朋友及神美麗的創造物在一起。
我們非常感謝Monica和Ryan的耐心及他們所付出的心力及時間。感謝Monica對人們及攝影的熱情, (她總共照了多達兩百張的照片 :D, 更甭提是在寒冷的冰雪當中了! 這不是敬業精神是什麼!!) 感謝Ryan對這個過程的支持及極大的協助, 辛苦地照顧藹伶, 為我們在積雪中找景點和開路。
要從Monica所照的這些美好的相片中只挑選出一張最喜歡的真的是很難, 著實是一項挑戰! 要經過許多的溝通, 合作, 協商和妥協才能達成這項任務。我們很仔細地反覆流覽一張張照片, 終於在幾個小時之後我們能夠達成共識。即使像是挑張相片放在耶卡上這樣不是什麼世上重要的事情, 然而身為夫妻的我們也能一同合作而從中彼此更加靠近。這確是一個寶貴的學習經驗!

Hey, you got some great pictures! I can tell you had to put up with the extreme cold that day! I especially like number 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 (poor baby!).
Monica~妳才客氣謙虛呢! 祝妳攝影之途一帆風順, 早日達成妳的目標!
Jerin~Thank you for your compliments! Ummmmm....we should have taken a vote and let others decide for us which one is the best to put on our Christmas cards, so we wouldn't have to spend hours making a decision. :D
Looking good guys! Nice location too...is that near City Creek?
By the way, I would have loved to take pictures for you guys too. If we get together to let Ailing and Taisei play in the snow, I'll take some more for you guys.
Sheldon~It's actually in the Bountiful area. The exact location I don't know, we just followed Ryan.
Jerin~Thank you soooooo much! We would love to see Ailing have fun with Taisei in the snow and get some pictures of that. That will be a big treat for us! It's so hard to capture Ailing's smiles or actions with our camera!!!!! :(
Cute family pictures. Send me one for keeping record....^^ It's hard to say which one is the best one......I love all of them.
The No.10 is the best one...I keep looking at this picture again and again. How wonderful it is to have a family. 好感動喔! 我真的知道家庭是FOREVER.
好美哦，每一张都很好看，背景也很有感觉。=)
Really nice family pictures you guys have!!! Monica did a great job! : )
