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

mural

We hired the awesome Jody of Majesty Murals to do a wall-to-wall mural in the baby’s room. We chose my all time favorite Japanese animation Totoro for the theme and Jody did an amazing job. She is such a wonderful artist, and her work is efficient, the whole mural only took 4 days to complete. I am simply blown away by her talent.

Thank you so much, Jody, for helping to make our visions come true. The baby room rocks!!

Day one — from the blank white wall to sketching and painting.

Day four — painting and touching up. Spaceman Spiff is added to surprise David. Spaceman Spiff is David’s favorite cartoon character and I am so glad that Jody was able to work him into the mural. I will always remember the big grin on David’s face when he first noticed Spaceman Spiff on the wall. Thank you again, Jody!!!
