Just Vogue!

Some photos of my friend's daughters. If they're discovered, I should get a cut of it, right? ;)

Aren't they adorable?!

Engagement Shoot: Chrissy and Ryan

I was so blessed to spend the day on Catalina Island with Chrissy and Ryan. I've known Chrissy since 2008 when we started grad school together -- she sat behind me on an exercise ball in class. I'd heard so many good things about Ryan that it was great to finally meet him in person.

They were gracious enough to ferry me over and buy me ice cream on my day trip out there to shoot their engagements photos. They both were so fun, natural and willing to run through grass, jump off things, and climb all over the rocks on the shore for me to take a picture... so it made my job a lot easier!

I hope you enjoy these photos. As always, it would be really great feedback for me if you commented. Thanks!

Eagle Rock Plaza Gourmet Food Truck Fest!

Yesterday as I was taking random shots, a shop owner asked me, "Are you a blogger or something?" I said, "No." But then realized, that I AM! So I've decided to blog more about or whatever I can manage to take pictures of.

Last night, we went out for Connie's 30th* birthday. She's always wanted to go wait in ridiculously long lines for overpriced, greasy food, so we obliged because you only turn 30* once. We divided and conquered 2 hours later and found that we ordered way too much. However, there's ALWAYS room for ice cream.

I liked the Rajas fries the best. I really wanted to try their kimchi/samgyupsal fries, but there's always next time!

Crepe'n Around

I personally think crepes should always be sweet, but these were decent. Forgot what we ordered. That's how forgettable it was. 

Krazy BBQ: Korean Tacos

We ordered 6 tacos and 3 burritos. The wait and service was terrible, but I really enjoyed the bulgolgi. It was tender and flavorful. The chicken was too dry, and the pork, well, they didn't fulfill our order as we asked.

Grilled Cheese Truck: My FAVORITE!

We ordered 2 sandwiches: 

The "Cheesy Mac and Rib" which had mac 'n cheese, pulled pork, and carmelized onions. We also go it with a parmesan crust (which totally MADE the sandwich).

We also got a brie and bacon sandwich on wheat bread with carmelized onions and sliced green apples. 

Tip: GET EVERYTHING WITH THE PARMESAN CRUST!

Mashti Malone's Ice Cream

 After all the savory food we ate, we drove over to seedy Hollywood for some exotic ice cream, and by exotic, I mean peanut butter cup and green tea. I don't think we were brave enough to try a whole scoop of their special: Rose water saffron with pistachios. We all agreed that the peanut butter one was bomb diggity.

The Nom Nom Truck was also there, but as a Vietnamese, I refuse to buy banh mi from a truck for $5. It should always be served out of a questionable "B" rated shop that has an oven in the back, and where you get 1 free for every 2 you buy.

Today, I only ate salad.
