Virginia Vo Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I graduated in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in history from UCLA – Go Bruins! Enrolling in the summer, study abroad program in Paris was unquestionably the most memorable experience I had while in college.  All the places I visited in the City of Love, took my breath away.    


Photography is part of history.  We take pictures so that we can preserve and relive the past.  Unless you have discovered the much sought after Fountain of Youth, then you’re probably like me – a person who believes that life is too short…  My favorite professor once said, “I am not sure what else is beyond this but what I do know is that life is all about memories; we need to remember and capture all of the unforgettable memories that makes us who we are today.”  This one liner hit me like an anvil because for someone with a two second memory, these unforgettable memories become forgettable rather quickly.  So it’s important that we capture the essence of time. How can we do this?  Uh ha!  You guessed it.  Yes, the solution is to take lots of pictures!  Not just ordinary pictures, but pictures instilled with life.   


Aside from spending time snapping away with my camera to capture the beauty of idyllic moments and seeing life in different perspectives behind various lenses, in my spare time, I enjoy sketching, scrap booking, traveling, playing scrabble, watching movies, bike riding, camping, eating at new restaurants, snowboarding, and hanging out with my hubby, family, and friends.  


Random fact:  Those who know me, know that my appetite for trying new food is insatiable.  I would try anything, yes ANYTHING if it’s edible, not just once but twice.  Throw me on Fear Factor and I guarantee, I’ll take the exotic eating challenge course!   


This is my domain to share my photos, thoughts, updates and parts of my life!  Let me provide you with a personal and one-of-a kind experience resulting in creative images that encapsulates the joy and beauty of your special moments.  If you like what you see, please feel free to leave a comment or contact me.

The Vong-Vo Family

May 15, 2010

Now for those who have been following my blog, you may know a thing or two about me and particularly that I have been with my hubby for almost 14 years. We take great pride in our commitment and it puts a smile on my face whenever I hear about others in long (or longer) relationships.

I had the pleasure to meet and shoot, Hannah and Quang, who have been together for an astounding 18 years!!! Yes! 18 years!  Look at them…they were probably dating since they were 10! :P  Jokes aside, I just want to congratulate them for their perseverance, dedication, and commitment to love. :)

We spent a beautiful day in the sun not only with Hannah’s totally chill mom but their munchkins too, PePe and MoMo!  It was an awesome family affair. Thanks to the Vong-Vo family for being so adorably fun and easy going.  This definitely adds to my collection of favorite shoots! :)

Hannah is the youngest of 7 siblings which makes her the baby of the family and Mama’s favorite!  :) I love this mother and daughter picture, Hannah is still mama’s little girl no matter how much she’s grown!

I never really had a pet growing up (well actually I had a pet frog but it didn’t survive past 2 weeks :( ) so when I met the “kids”, I was so excited!  They are perhaps one of the cutest pairs and you gotta LOVE the BAD TO THE BONE collar! :P

MoMo loves to stick out his tongue, which makes for an adorable facial expression!

PePe on the other hand likes to portray himself as the big man on campus or should I say park!  He is about a third size smaller than MoMo but runs the park like Napoleon! :)  So adorably brave and confident!

This picture cracks me up… even though PePe looks comfortable in the basket, he is actually being squished by MoMo! haha!

Aren’t they the sweetest thing?  They gave me a disclaimer upfront stating that they haven’t done anything like this before and aren’t natural in front of the camera…well HELLO! I beg to differ!  These images do not lie and they scream out HOT, fun, and definitely natural! :)

I love clients that are willing to get a little dirty for the perfect captures!  These images makes me HAPPY!  Thanks for hurdling over the obstacles to reach our destination!  Best part is …we came out alive with no bites or scratches! :)
