A very happy first birthday to this tiny man! His parents decided to throw him a Costco-themed party to mark this momentous occasion! Hahaha, absolutely delightful. Employee of the month every month, with his little hair net. Attendees filled out a trivia quiz with questions about Costco and about Leo and his parents! The prize:…
E visited Muir Woods with her whole family a while back, and she knew immediately that she wanted to come back and take her high school graduation photos there when the time came. Well, E is graduating next year! So the family made another trip, and we roamed around the ancient redwoods for these portraits,…
A and A were friends well before they started dating. Mid-pandemic, she asked him if he wanted to go on a bike ride through Golden Gate Park, which was now one big slow street, closed to car traffic. She just thought of it as an activity to do together as friends, but little did she…
Vivian and Dru were married in their back yard during the pandemic, but they never had professional photos to commemorate their engagement or their wedding. So we made up for it by hiking up Bernal Heights one evening with their pup in tow. The fog pulled over the city like a blanket, and the wind…
What a joy it is to document my dear friends Dan and Jeri as they journey into this next chapter of their lives! We embraced that warm South Bay sunshine for this magical session in the rolling hills of San Jose. I can’t wait to meet baby girl, and you can bet there will be…
It’s such an honor to document the new chapters of my couples’ lives! It has now been a decade since I first photographed mom and dad, and now it’s year two of getting to photograph the little one too. She even insisted on wearing the same dress as last year. This time we were quite…
The first time they met, Nina really did not like Blake. She found him arrogant and borderline unbearable. It turns out he was just trying really hard to impress her, haha. Luckily they stayed friends, and everything turned around once they got to know each other. We met up a fun engagement session featuring Blake’s…
These blustery summer days in San Francisco don’t make for the most welcoming seaside outings, but they sometimes make for the most gorgeous wind-filled portraits! So it was with this engagement session at Sutro Baths with Marion and Jason. See a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San…
It takes a really incredible blend of persistence, commitment, and of course love to survive an international long-distance relationship through a pandemic, when you are each locked down in your country and completely unable to even visit one another. And that is exactly what E and J have done, between here and Australia. They are…
Yan and Dave met in New York City, and their paths then took them to the west coast, with Yan landing in Seattle for a year while Dave ended up in San Francisco. But the end to long-distance is already in sight, as these two will soon be wed and reunited. In the meantime, Yan…
Annsa and Arvind have been the most delightful couple to work with through the years. I have had the honor of photographing a series of portrait sessions for them, in lieu of what was originally planned to be their 2020 wedding. They didn’t end up having the party, but they have been wed now for…
I still don’t know what kind of a crazy time warp we all stepped into in 2020, but I am still a bit bewildered, trying to step out on the other side. The Lynch family was one of the last photo sessions I photographed before we all went into lockdown in March, 2020, and now…
