I never particularly loved museums growing up. That’s not to say I didn’t still find myself in a fair share of them, but I would rarely select a museum over another activity or just wandering a city. It’s only in the last couple years that I’ve found myself drawn to these places. I think especially in…
Scenes from my San Francisco Bay Area explorations in the last couple months. A hike at Cataract Falls, racing against the sun. Boutiques in Oakland’s Temescal Alley. Asian Art Museum. San Francisco Ferry Building. General Store. Outerlands. Old Town, Oakland. Two Sisters Bar and Books. Trouble Coffee, West Oakland. Charm Villa goldfish tea from Taiwan!…
Vermont was the perfect weekend getaway to kick off the new year. We did intend to go skiing initially, but the poor snow conditions meant we skipped the slopes and stuck to the cozy cottage and all the small-town cheese and maple syrup shops.

Packaging, packaging! Now is the perfect time of year to update and restock on all my packaging and collateral for upcoming wedding season. I tried out some new duplex business cards with a deep purple backing and gold foil + letterpress on the front. And I was gifted a new set of USB drives from USB…
The Presidio is one of my favorite places in San Francisco, not least because of all the gorgeous weddings and engagements that I’ve photographed there. Last weekend they hosted The Presidio Celebrations Showcase for the many venues located within the Presidio, and I was the official photographer on hand for the event. I had such a great time making…
I love a good tea party! So when I met up with two wedding industry friends in Philadelphia, it was perfect that we headed to The Dandelion for afternoon tea. It’s an adorable British pub in Rittenhouse Square and a great spot for a mid-day meetup. I met Brittani of Brittani Elizabeth Photography and Lauren…
I love the wave of cat cafes that seem to be opening all around the country (and the world). When my friend Saira asked if I wanted to check out Kit Tea in San Francisco, I jumped on it! To be honest, I’m more of a dog person, but I was still intrigued by the prospect…
On a lovely December day, I met up with my friend Saira for afternoon tea at Tal-y-Tara in the Richmond District of San Francisco. Tal-y-Tara is a unique combination of tea shop and polo shop– and it’s not just the decor. They actually sell plenty of stuff for all your equestrian needs. It was a fun, eclectic…
My love affair with reading blossomed in 2015, bolstered by a new purchase toward the end of the year: my kindle paperwhite, which I’ve lovingly named “Sassafras.” I already did most of my reading via the kindle app and free ebooks borrowed from my local libraries, but with my new kindle, I upgraded to a better…
This is the final post of my five-part series on Morocco! As soon as we returned from our desert excursion and got back to Fes, we loaded up our car and continued north for another 4 hours to head to the town of Chefchaouen, known for its blue buildings. We wandered the blue alleys, collecting…
