There are two kinds of people in this world… people who are afraid of living their dream and those who are NOT! Getting to know Ciara during her branding shoot has inspired me to keep doing what God has called you to do and to enjoy doing it.

When kids begin school again and you notice the word, “pumpkin”, on the Starbucks menu, we know that fall is coming… Fall changes the pace of our daily lives a little, doesn’t it? The fresh, cooler air makes us stop and just breathe it in…

How We Grew a Multicultural Clientele

How We Grew a Multicultural Clientele

I was born in South Korea and grew up there until I was eight years old.  Even as a child, I was fascinated with foreigners.  It was rare that I saw an American person, but when I did, I thought it was the coolest thing.  Through my dad (step-dad who was the only father I ever knew and called, "Dad") who was stationed in South Korea, I got to see so many Americans at the military base.

This summer has been like no other… Our oldest is going to middle school in the fall, so it’s been quite a milestone for us as a family. She graduated elementary school, and I know it’s probably not a big deal for parents who have older parents, but we still can’t believe it.

There are many aspects to a wedding day, and we all know that every detail is important. It’s no wonder that some people choose to elope to make things easier. But, as great as eloping may sound, I know for me and all of our brides, we all want the wedding day that we dreamed of. I had mine 13 years ago (Wow!), and I wouldn’t change a thing. In fact, I would love to have another one. ;) hehe

If you're a parent reading this blog, I think we can all agree that we need our own little quiet space sometimes.  You know, from humans called children?  ;)  I grew up as an only child and I'm still not used to all the "noise".  As a mother of three, silence is all I need and want.

As photographers, it's the most heart breaking thing when photos just stay in hard drives.  Photographs are meant to become art in your home!  One of my favorite thing to do is help our clients design the empty walls of their home and make it come alive! Seeing our clients' expressions when they receive canvases, prints or albums is absolutely priceless! Your photographs are one of a kind, unique art that you should show off!

CO Designs // Our Prayer Room

How many of you have a room in your home that you don't really use?  For us, it was our dining room... We put dining furniture there because that's just what you do.  For many years, I looked into that room and wondered why we even have it when for us, all we did was eat there once a year on Thanksgiving Day.  Since last year, God has been stirring in me a need to pray more and to create a space for this purpose in our home.
