Mixing photography and travel is one of my greatest joys in life. A couple weeks ago, I got to meet Liz and Cameron in their adopted hometown of Sydney, Australia. These two will be wed in California later this year, but we got explore a corner of Sydney together for their engagement session. Such a…

This year for my birthday, I opted for an interactive gathering: a pottery class! We gathered at Play with Clay in El Cerrito and dug in, pottery wheels and all. It was so much fun, I’m already plotting my next return to the wheel. I went with full traditional paper invites and everything, designed by…

With Victoria’s love for all things Tiffany’s, I’m not at all surprised that she and Vaughn went for this gorgeous Tiffany blue (“turquoise mist”) silk cover for their wedding album.

The Silver Moon silk has been a very popular album cover this year! That and the gray leather as well. Today I’m sharing Jenny and Adam’s gorgeous wedding album, a 10″ book debossed with their names and wedding date. I love how cohesive each of their layouts appear, with such consistent coloring. Here is the…
This album was a year in the making, from Rebecca and David’s wedding in November 2014, and it was totally worth the wait! We created one medium 10×10″ album and two 6″ minis for their parents. The mini albums are a perfect combination of great value and a smaller book, but at 6″ square, not…
