Thank you to those who invited me into your lives to document, laugh and feel as if I'm part of your family. My job is so fun and rewarding that it doesn't even feel like work (at times!). Cheers to an amazing year of growth, new relationships and I'm looking forward to what's to come.
Have you seen the new site? meobaaklini.com
It's been one of the best and worst years of my life. I've never lost so many loved ones in such a short amount of time. It's really changed my perspective on what is important to me. For instance, I'm learning to enjoy being in the moment more (one reason why this post is coming in a couple days past the new year). Another, to fight for what I love and not letting anyone or anything get in the way. I'll never be the best mom/wife/photographer in the world, but learning to have the same passion in each of my roles helps me to strive to be a better version of myself.
Thank you to my friends, family and clients that believed in me and my vision for 2013. I am so so thankful for each of you...now let's see what kind of crazy adventure 2014 can hold!
xoxo,
Meo
Two words: hell yes. A sneak peek from today's session which started in Marin and ended in a pillow fight in the Presidio.

Nothing says "San Francisco Summer" like a cold foggy day! It didn't stop Somik & Pam from showing off the love around Golden Gate Park. Lucky for us, all the tourists had gone home and we had the place to ourselves. We kept her makeup neutral, her hair voluminous & her smile contagious!

It was a workshop unlike any other that I have been to. Also, a team unlike any other I have been a part of. You see, I've been a cheerleader (or as I like to say it, Che-leeduh Hun-nay), I've even been part of the drama team in school (lip sync anyone?), but this time I got to meetup with a group of crazy talented photographers and videographers, and we will be part of the Fusion Moments Media team.
A few of the things that stuck with me were the recommendation to watch some films by Kar Wai Hong, whose lighting style is something that is inspiring me to do some crazy cinematic couples shoot/video. (Now accepting applications for hot couples!)
(Still from In the Mood for Love)
Aside from all the awesome videos we got to see (Russian photo/videographers fist fighting at a wedding), we got to setup a story and photograph and film it.
My team consisted of two other guys, and we decided to make our couples film into a comedic style wedding day. (Well, as much as we could with 20 mins to brainstorm and film)
Here are some of the photos from our shoot.
