photo sessions
What a joy it was to photograph this little family in their home. From posed portraits to all the in-between moments, Baby H and her doggo big sis were clearly ready to shine. Modeling is such hard work! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at annawu.com,…
Emily and Chris met almost a decade ago, when Chris asked her out to coffee and she responded by saying she only drinks tea… it turns out that as a Brit he actually just drinks tea too. They were engaged in 2018 and had every intention of getting married in 2020 and doing a grand…
Irene and Martin have been on quite the life adventure in the last couple years. When they first booked me, it was for a multi-day photo session and City Hall wedding, but then life took over and family and personal circumstances meant they had to pivot from their City Hall plans. They were still wed,…
It is not every day that of Scorsese’s Goodfellas, or a nightclub called Bimbo’s gets mentioned in the context of a wedding, but then again this couple is no ordinary couple. She is a professional flamenco dancer, and he is a sixth generation San Franciscan whose family is basically Bay Area royalty. They fell madly in…
I photographed a wonderful holiday dinner this winter, hosted by the lovely folks from Twrl Milk Tea, alongside several collaborators in their community. Twrl is a plant-based milk tea newly celebrating its launch into Whole Foods Markets. In addition, they wanted to honor the 90th anniversary of Norman Rockwell’s “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” painting…
Meet Rachel and her hearing dog Rosie! Rachel is deaf and wears a cochlear implant. She recently got the opportunity to receive a hearing dog to assist her in everyday life, and especially with alerts such as letting her know if a fire alarm goes off or if someone is at the door. Rachel attended…
Nina and Blake first met eight years ago, and their casual friendship took several years to grow at its own slow pace, before they finally looked at each other six years in and thought, should we try dating each other? The answer was yes. Absolutely. Their foundation was built very slowly but very solidly, and…
It’s officially been a decade since I started photographing Joyce and Keven for their engagement session. So interesting to think how much life has changed for them since then (a marriage, completely new line of work, and two human beings who didn’t used to exist!). And as always, it’s an incredible honor to chronicle these…
Amanda and Susana have been together for a decade, and they have built a strong and supportive foundation for their lives together in that time. They chose to have a small ceremony and lunch reception at Oakland’s Terrace Room overlooking Lake Merritt, before having a second banquet wedding up in Seattle for family. A very…
Emily’s sister had gone to school with Josh and stayed loosely connected to him through their ties to the college, until eventually she realized she should really introduce Josh to her little sister Emily. The rest was history! Emily and Josh quickly fell in love, and they are now engaged to be wed. We captured…
Well, I’ve never encountered a foggier day atop Mt. Tam. But Chrissy and Aaron have already been through many difficult challenges in life together: surviving a pandemic, caring for ailing family members, and also grieving great losses together. So this layer of cold, windy fog certainly didn’t rank anywhere on their top challenges list. Rather,…
On a map, Sea Ranch doesn’t look all that far from San Francisco. Follow the edge of California northward, and it looks like you could hop right over to this section of the coastline in an hour or two. But of course, it’s actually quite a journey, as you follow the winding roads through valleys…
