ling photography : blog bio picture

WELCOME!

It never cease to amaze me when someone stays in the same place and I took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame. Photography is so wonderful, so powerful, so amazing. It makes me happy, and it keeps me happy. It is a magical world.

Hi, my name is Ai Ling and I am a photographer in Minnesota. This blog is where you will see my most recent work and a little bit on what's going on in my life.

The heart of my photography is the people, and the honest interactions I can capture. It is so much more than just a click of the shutter - it's the smiles, the tears, the laughs, the little moments in lives that mean the most. Seeing the big smiles on peoples' faces when they look at the photographs makes my heart sing. That's what I want to devote my life to.

Feel free to come in, look around and leave me a message (you know us photographers love comments!).

Have an awesome day!


Cheers,
Ai Ling

I recently met up with My Choi, creator and founder of PaperThick Ink to do some product photography for her website. My also happens to be one of my 2009 brides. So when My asked me to shoot her paper goods I was more than honored to!

My had some amazing paper for me to shoot so I took to the task of keeping with the tone of the pieces she had produced. Still photography does not have to be boring — shooting inanimate objects allow you to really be creative. The possibilities are endless. With the PaperThick Ink suites we played around and had a blast experimenting with different looks.

the mamun family

I met Masud, Emily and baby Lyla at Mall of America for this fun family session last week. It was also Lyla’s first birthday! What an honor to be able to spend some time with the birthday girl!
