Being in a health professional grad school means...

... that I have little time to update my photo blog :(

Check out facebook.com/amandawongphotography in the meantime!

I've survived the first year of post-grad training, here come the next 3 years! ... And then I'll be a Doctor of Pharmacy! :D ...slash photographer!

Graduation! :: Orange County Portrait Photography

A couple weeks ago, I took a few portraits of my friend Kelsey for some of her grad school applications/website bios for awards she's recently won/her on-campus club website. I've also taken some photos of her and her family on her birthday! Kelsey is one of the first people I met in college, and I have enjoyed our friendship since so much! Congrats on your awards and grad school acceptances, Kelsey!

:: Graduation Portrait Sessions ::

This spring, I'll be booking a few graduation portrait sessions! If you're like my roommate* and unfortunately discovered that your school produces incredibly awkward photos wearing a one-size-fits-all-but-really-two-sizes-too-huge cap and gown, shoot me an email and we can arrange for something that suits your personality and celebrates you! :) ... we can even use your own cap and gown and your REAL tassel!

*roommate photos to be re-shot by me ASAP! :)

Diana + Ben ::

I was a guest to Diana and Ben's wedding this past summer... here's some shots of their big day! :)

Andrea + Kevin ::

This afternoon I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph Andrea and her husband Kevin for their first Christmas photos as a married couple!

Andrea found my photoblog though a mutual friend, and I must say I was super excited to work with them. Although one weather forecast said there would be thunderstorms, that was hardly the case as it was a beautiful afternoon! This was my first referral and I just want to say THANK YOU to Andrea and Kevin for being such a fun and easy-going couple to photograph! We ended up with some photos that will definitely work for their 2009 Christmas cards as well as some newlywed/engagement style shots!

Here's a quick preview:
