I had the pleasure  of photographing for Mariachi Cuicacalli, a vibrant band of vocalists and instrumentalists that performs Latino music at various events at Wash U  and off-campus. Their performance was a part of a festival organized by the Association of Latin American Students. 

Even though I had already been at Wash U for four years (and had even graduated), this was the first time that I got to see them perform... and I was so glad that I did! Check them out if you have a chance! 

Gentle fall breeze and gorgeous fall colors meant it was the perfect time to go on a fall hike! This was my first time going to Castewood State Park, and I was astounded to discover that there was such a scenic nature reserve so close to St. Louis. I look forward to my next hike at the park!  

On this beautiful fall afternoon, just as the leaves were turning colors, I went on a special mission: to photograph Deborah and Hallie, two besties who have been rooming with each other for years. We took a relaxing stroll in the neighborhood just behind the intersection of Forsyth and Big Bend. I didn't know there was such a serene niche so close to the hustle and bustle of Wash U! 

Here the photos from the shoot, which are a tribute to a sacred friendship that will only grow stronger after they both graduate in May 2014. 

Re-I Chin Photography officially debuts today! I am so excited to begin an exciting journey filled with awesome photos and memories. Thank you for my followers' support, and please stay tuned for more to come!

I would like to give a special shout out to my dear friend, Vivian Chi, a professional graphic designer, for creating this logo for me. It is an artistic rendition of the camera shutter. Isn't it lovely!? Thanks Vivian! :)
