    Anna’s Plant Party Birthday

    Throwing creative birthday parties for myself has become something of a tradition in the last few years. And since my birthday is in January, it’s also a wonderful way to kick off the new year with a little celebration. This year I was inspired by two of my newfound hobbies from 2017: plants and painting….

    San Francisco Bay Area | December, 2017

    I was in the Bay Area for most of December (minus a week in LA), so of course I indulged in the time at home by making things, seeing friends, and also preparing for Tiffany and Greg’s New Year’s Eve wedding! See some of my highlights below. And if you’re curious about my full 2017…

    What better way to ring in the new year than with a gorgeous wedding celebration filled to the brim with love and joy? Tiffany and Greg planned the perfect party and thought of every last detail.

    Kim & Chris | Luxe Linen & Rose Gold Wedding Album

    I love how Kim and Chris’ wedding album came together. Since the wedding was filled with neutrals accented with metallics, the beautifully textured grey linen was perfectly paired with rose gold debossing for their album cover. You can see how it catches the light below, and you can see the full flip-through of the album…

    Amber & Ernie | San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photography

    Amber and Ernie traveled from Texas to be wed at the beautiful San Francisco City Hall. Ernie’s parents could drive in from across the Bay where they live, and where Amber’s parents could fly in to meet them from Taiwan. It was a beautiful, simple ceremony with plenty of time for portraits all around the…

  • Yayoi Kusama at The Broad

    Yayoi Kusama at The Broad

    I still feel rather ambivalent about the ‘instagrammable museum’ phenomenon, with galleries, installations, and exhibits designed specifically with the selfie and instagram in mind. On the one hand, I love to post these cleverly crafted images just as much as the next person, but on the other, churning people through these instagram factories seems to…

  • 2017 Year in Review | 365 Seconds

    2017 Year in Review | 365 Seconds

      Another year has just flown by! When I think back on 2017, it’s tempting to just brush past it and conclude that it was just like the previous few years. I didn’t make any obvious life changes, and in many ways my life has settled into a pattern of photography, travels, and everyday creative…

  • Los Angeles | November & December, 2017

    Los Angeles | November & December, 2017

    Call me crazy or call me lucky; I drove down to Los Angeles twice in two months. The first time was to photograph Allie and David’s Redondo Beach wedding and the second was simply to attend “Second Thanksgiving” (our version of Friendsgiving). Of course lots of food and friends were involved, and I snuck in…

  • Rachel & Zach | Yosemite Wedding Album

    Rachel & Zach | Yosemite Wedding Album

    For their wedding album, Rachel and Zach wanted to keep it very simple, with the emphasis on photographs of their loved ones. They opted for a clean 8×8″ grey silk cover. It’s a lovely way to showcase the images from their beautiful Yosemite wedding! This was perhaps an even more poignant spread of family portraits,…
