Angela’s sister Betty was the one to reach out and book this portrait session for her as a gift. Angela is an OB/GYN and is expecting her first child this winter! We were able to wander Bair Island just outside their place for some beautiful sunset portraits, and then we had a little part two…
This surprise proposal took a bit of a pivot when Noah’s plans for a Napa proposal got rained out the previous weekend. Left to improvise, he got cornered into just admitting the whole plan instead. So, perhaps Emily wasn’t really surprised by the time we got to this particular spot the following week, but she…
I am so honored to be asked back by previous client friends. It’s been a few years since Cynthia & Erik’s pandemic-era engagement and wedding, and now they are back in the Bay Area, visiting with their new little one! We went back to the site of their engagement session, the Lawrence Hall of Science,…
This was such a wonderful gift, from husband to wife– a family photo session! The girls were full of sass and silliness as we roamed around the expansive grounds at Filoli. Such a beautiful way to mark this festive season. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work…
Alas, San Francisco beaches are never quite what people picture when they imagine “California beaches.” Karl the Fog was out in full force, hiding most of the Golden Gate Bridge and adding a cold chill to Baker Beach. But the Chin Family powered through and radiated their own joy and warmth. Such a fun little…
Not all proposals are surprises! In this case David already had to reschedule the proposal because Julia figured out the original date. When rain forecasts threatened the new date, he decided to just go ahead with it anyway. Julia was still working overtime trying to spoil the surprise, so before they even got there, she…
It is such a special treat to photograph friends year after year! Last time S was barely beginning to walk, and now she’s running around! We met at their neighborhood park for a lovely little session this year, marked by crispy fall leaves and the whims of a moody toddler. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Grace has been a friend and a client for almost a decade now, as we were connected through the Taiwanese American community here in the Bay Area and I have been photographing her and her family since 2016. I was excited to hear that Grace’s memoir has been picked up for publication, and I was…
It has been twelve years since I first started photographing this family, and of course by family I mean J & K for their engagement session long before the kids came along. It’s such a privilege to watch these families grow and to have a part in documenting their stories over time. For this session…
Golden hour! Rejoice! After several years of foggy photo sessions with this family, we finally struck gold! Don’t get me wrong, Karl the Fog is a staple of life here in San Francisco, and the grey backdrop often makes for gloriously moody portraits, but I do have a soft spot for this lovely warm glow….
It was wonderful to photograph Laura’s family again this year. Laura is the host of the Giants pre- and post-game show, so her schedule usually slows down after baseball season is over in the fall, but between covering the 49ers and all of her in-person hosting gigs and travel appearances, it has turned out to…
This is the third edition of my Norda Family photo sessions! The location hasn’t changed, but the kids just keep growing up and getting taller and even more full of personality. See a few of the highlights below, and glance back at their 2024 and 2021 sessions too. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait…
