There are so many more great images, but I’m afraid you’ll just have to watch the slideshow to see the rest! Enjoy!

Erin and Aaron, I’m so grateful that I was the one you picked to be your wedding photographer. You are both incredibly beautiful and genuine people. It was so great getting to know you, even if our time was brief, and I know that there are many years of bliss ahead of you!!

warmly,
Ai Ling

the nick haas trio

posted under others

A lot has happened since the previous post a couple of months ago. The Nick Haas Trio has finally released their first CD!

It was truly an amazing experience for me to shoot and design the album art for this talented band, and it was an even greater feeling to be able to hold my work and see it with my own eyes.


Here are a few more pictures.

Nick the guitarist.



Peter plays the double bass.

And Eron the percussionist.

Please go check them out at http://www.nickhaastrio.com and show them some love!

warmly,
Ai Ling

mural

posted under personal

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!!!

Chandra - I always meant to have all three Totoros on Gillian’s wall too. But I nearly fainted too many times while painting. :/

This makes me want to go back and add them now that I’m no longer eight months pregnant.
