Ed and Matt met exactly seventeen years ago, and now they had traveled to California from Ohio to be wed. It was a simple and beautiful little ceremony– just Ed and Matt with Ed’s cousin Jane and her husband Ted officiating. We walked down a short path to a corner of the golf course, just borrowing the…
Here we are, a quarter of the way through 2015! But last month, I was so happy to reprise my personal project from last year, Art for Art. Once a month throughout 2014, I found a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photographed them; they photographed me. View the full set of previous shoots in the series here: Art for…
What’s one to do when she’s dumped by her boyfriend of almost two years just one week after her birthday and two weeks before Valentine’s Day? Well, hanging out at her friend’s adorable pop-up flower shop is not a bad place to start. I don’t have much to say about my breakup or my ex. But…
One month ago, we were all gathered in the beautiful backyard garden at my office in San Francisco, dining under the string lights and kicking off my 30s in style. My party is now featured on Style Me Pretty, which is usually known as a wedding blog, but showcases lifestyle posts too. You can view…
I absolutely love reading. In the last couple years, coupling my self-employed lifestyle with two library cards and an endless supply of ebooks, I’ve really gotten to indulge my inner bookworm. Usually, I do a brief recap of my favorites in my annual year-end reviews (2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011). But here’s a more thorough round-up…
At the beginning of December, I got to travel to Houston, Texas to photograph my friend Amy’s newborn baby. And of course, I made the most of my time while I was there! I stayed in this beautiful artists’ compound that I booked on airbnb, I had a rental car, and I explored all around…
I got to spend this past Thanksgiving with my friends Dan and Paul, and Paul’s whole family. It’s actually a bit of a Thanksgiving tradition for all of us (or various combinations of us) to gather together in California. Though Paul is from Cupertino, his parents now live in Singapore, so they rented a home…
The last Saturday of my November New York trip, we headed to Brooklyn for a tour of Mast Brothers Chocolate. You might recognize the graphic, patterned papers that encase Mast Brothers’ chocolate bars. Every single bar comes from this very Brooklyn factory. This is my only photo of the actual “tour” part, as they don’t allow…
I headed toward the freezing cold chill of New York to celebrate Jesse’s birthday back in November. During the week, I made small excursions around his ‘new’ neighborhood in Midtown (my last visit, Jesse was still living downtown). And of course at night and on the weekends, we had plenty of foodie adventures all around Manhattan…
Together we have a great time and fit very well together, we get up first every other morning to fix the other one breakfast. We agree on small things like what color our couch should be but also on more important matters such as how our future should be and general values. Like peas and…
Back in November, we gathered a small group of friends and set out to try the newest three-star Michelin restaurant here in San Francisco: Benu. Chef Corey Lee is a French Laundry alum, and the concept at Benu is all about taking that culinary background and adding a strong Asian influence. It’s inset from Hawthorn…
