Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
From Michigan to Ohio and on to Pennsylvania, our Midwest baseball tour reached its final city in Pittsburgh. We stayed in a very cute old airbnb in an industrial part of The Strip. Spotted on the street nearby, in Chinese: can’t return to the past, can’t see the future. We swung by the City of…

Cleveland, Ohio
Straight from the Michigan football game, we rushed off to Cleveland to make it to the ballpark in time to pick up this giveaway: a Steven Kwan t-shirt and a Franmil Reyes bobblehead! Reyes unfortunately was traded off the Cleveland team before they even gave out these bobbleheads… so the team added the Kwan shirts…

Chien Family | Fremont Family Photography
Sixteen adults, three kids, and a pup. We roamed a small park in Fremont and photographed every permutation and combination of this four-generation family, but no matter what grouping or order you put them in, what comes out is love. Such a joy to document these special gatherings of family over the holidays! First, the…

Yue & Darren | The French Laundry Proposal Photography
Yes or Yes! This was such a sweet surprise proposal. Darren knew that Yue would suspect that a proposal was coming, because they had already gone ring shopping together. Plus, she knew they had a reservation for The French Laundry where they had dined once before. But he still had some surprises up his sleeve….

I also decided to sketch all my books on my little notebook bookshelf, in the order I read them. Below are…

Miranda & Felix | Fort Funston Engagement Photography
What an incredibly sweet and stunning session! Miranda and Felix booked me for their engagement session before finding out that they actually live just one floor above me in the same building in San Francisco. Such a small world. I absolutely loved getting to photograph them out at Fort Funston, a familiar spot to their…

Jenny & Jun | Heirloom Wedding Album
Jenny and Jun’s wedding at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay was perfectly captured in print in their beautiful wedding album. I love all of the simple layouts that let the images shine. Take a peek inside album below. On the cover, rose gold foil debossing on a natural luxe linen. Such classic wedding details….

Detroit, Michigan
It’s been over two months since I posted the previous part of this Midwest tour, but I’ve finally circled back to continue with the next leg — Detroit! We stayed at the Shinola Hotel, happy to support the Detroit-based watch & lifestyle brand. There was a very nice library in the nook right outside our…

Lesley & Min | Big Sur Engagement Photography
I first met Lesley years ago, and she told me back then that she loved my work and would someday hire me for her wedding. That was incredibly nice and flattering, but sometimes people just say things! Especially since Lesley lives on the East Coast and I have always been here in California, I didn’t…
