It was such a joy and a privilege to meet up with the Lynch family to photograph them for the third time. It’s especially fun to look back on the first session and see how much the boys have grown in four years. Now the eldest is getting ready to go off to college! See…
Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
They first met at MIT, where Bobby was Christine’s Taekwondo instructor. For weeks he strategized on how he could make an introduction to hang out with her. He tried to make small talk about her being a vegetarian with some bungled jokes like “I could totally be vegetarian. Is meat a vegetable?” But when he…
It’s my annual tradition to kick off the year with a creative birthday celebration. Past celebrations include the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, a plant party, and last year’s tea party. This year? A gathering about gatherings. I was inspired by Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering, to think…
I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…

I love this beautiful dusty blue linen that Maddi and Kangway chose for their wedding albums. We created one medium 10″ album for them and two mini 6″ albums for each of their parents. Take a peek inside the books below! A size comparison with the 10″ and the 6″ books. I always include at…

56 books is the most I’ve ever read in a year, almost double the 31 I read in 2018. My basic strategy was to convert some of the endless hours of scrolling through social media into time reading books instead. And as always, I check out all of these books as ebooks from the library–…
This was such a beautiful and soul-affirming session. V had never considered doing a boudoir session, thinking she would never be interested in taking such revealing photos. But I am so happy that she saw a boudoir session on my website that changed her mind completely about what boudoir can be. Far from being scandalous,…
I’m excited to share Jennifer and Gary’s guest book today! We traveled up to Rosario Beach, Washington for their engagement session this past fall, and we transformed those images into a beautiful book that their guests will be able to sign at their wedding this summer. Here’s a look at the wraparound photo cover. And…
It’s become an annual tradition for me to collect small gifts along my travels and to gather them as holiday gifts for my wedding clients. I really love choosing the items as I go and curating these one-of-a-kind packages, never to be repeated from year to year! 2019 was such a full year for travels….
