sophia & faith

years ago, i was a flower girl in the lovely wedding of these two girls' parents, josh and vivian. i remember how excited i was to really be a part of a wedding. i wore a peach skirt, my hair was curled, and i had flowers going all across the crown of my head. but of course no one looked more gorgeous than the bride herself. it was a great wedding, the only one i really remember from my childhood. 

since my family and i have been back in malaysia, we have met up several times with josh, vivian, and their two adorable girls. when they came over to our apartment, i took sophia and faith for a little dip in the pool before having dinner. we had so much fun playing in the kiddy pool. i'm very happy the girls let me take some pictures. though sometimes they would tell me, "stefanie, come play with us!" so into the pool i'd go and the splashing would begin!

tasha faye

about a week ago, i met up with tasha for the second time. instead of roaming around the city, like we did last time, we stayed around her neighborhood. as we walked along the sidewalk, we spotted a floral chair under staircases of a parking lot. determined to get to the chair, we climbed down the wall in our skirt and dress. to go along with the chair, we found a pretty wall draped with leaves and flowers, that would serve as the background for our pictures. we were so happy to have a little adventure like this. its not everyday that you find a pretty chair, climb walls into strange parking lots, and all to take pictures. later in the day, we went to a cafe called Upstairs and shared some cake, a vanilla milkshake, and had a lovely conversation. tasha is such a bubbly girl and a wonderful photographer that i am so delighted to know. definitely looking forward to the next time we meet again. 

summer '11 in film

sometimes i wish that i could go back to this summer and relive the fun adventures bekah, anna, else, olivia, and i had. i'm so happy that anna and bekah came to visit us in holland. and also that we were able to meet olivia for the first time. i cannot wait to see all these girls again!
