Martin and Yon Family Portrait | Jules Ko Boston Portrait Photography

I met Martin 13 years ago when he was my campus ministry leader, and I was a freshmen in college.

Within that time, Martin got married to Yon, and had two beautiful-energetic daughters.  All the while mentoring me from time to time, giving me sound advise, and letting me vent through family dilemmas, career crisis, and death of a mom and lastly,  approval over my husband Dan while we were dating.  Martin, I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this, but over 10 years ago, my mom said she trusted your character and your judgment.  If I met a guy like you, she’d approve of the marriage!  =) and here we are (hi Dan!).

Several years ago, for different reasons, Martin’s family and I both left the Seattle area, and Martin settled into Long Island, and I into Boston.  So when they were coming to visit Boston over spring break, and wanted to meet up for a portrait session at the Public garden, I was in for a treat!

If I could name this shot, it is such quintessential Boston!

Just as the tree blossoms were coming out, the girls had so much fun running around and breaking out in hysteric laughter!

aren’t those magnolias glorious?  girls are such girls… can’t imagine similar age boys having a ball with flowers in their hands!

It was almost like a roulette table!  I don’t remember giving them  much instructions for this one!

one of my favorites of the day~  To capture an instance of the quiet joy in an energetic little girl!…
