    The Shay-Tang Family | Kirk in the Hills, Michigan | Lifestyle Photographer

    When I arrived, the house was buzzing with preparations for Lily’s big day. This was the day she would be introduced to solid food. But you have to think of solid as a flexible term. Solid like… soupy rice pudding. But food that’s not in a bottle is a big deal! We were all making…

  • Laurence Kim Workshop- One on One in Seattle

    First of all, if you’re ever trying to find the Queen Anne district, don’t be fooled by the numbering grid in downtown Seattle. They are not connected. In fact, they run in opposite directions. But besides my embarassingly dramatic 45-minute-late entrance, everything about my workshop with Laurence Kim was fantastic. Why fly to Seattle when…

  • All You Can Jet!

    Sometimes I dream about the jetsetter lifestyle– not only flying to all kinds of places, but actually doing so spontaneously. I could wake up in the morning and think, I’d love to be in New York today,  and voila, be there before sundown! But really, how many people actually have the flexibility in their time…

  • Good Morning, Oakland

    I know it’s a matter of familiarity and time. I just moved to San Francisco, and I haven’t been there long enough to enjoy it yet. I haven’t become a part of the city, and it hasn’t become a part of me. I’m not used to this fog, this windy chill, the irony of my…

    Dan Hutchings, Vocalist | San Francisco Headshots Photographer

    Dan Hutchings is a classical vocalist based in San Francisco now, but soon moving out of state. He’s reserved, straightforward, and classically good looking too. The cool thing about this session is that it’s the first one I did right here, at my new place in San Francisco. Looking forward to many more to come!…

  • Midwest Tour

    Even before it hits, you can feel it coming on. It takes but one step from the plane onto the jetway for it to strike in full force. The humidity. The heat. It’s a giant cloud stifling you with its sticky, unsolicited embrace. Welcome to Cincinnati. To be honest, I kind of missed it. There’s…

    Love Out Loud– tafLabs 2010

    My favorite thing about our “tafLabs” room is not the ten computers or the impressive mass of wires and hard drives everywhere. It’s not even the six Canon DSLRs  with all their amazing lenses scattered on all the desks. (And you know how much I love my DSLRs!) No, it has nothing to do with…

  • Ode to Oakland

    The afternoon sun entices me out of my desk chair and over to the window. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, Downtown Oakland. Seven palm trees in front of the Tribune tower, next to the courthouse. OUSD, Laney College off to the left. I’ve looked at this view a million times, and it still hasn’t…

  • Seattle Sneak Peek

    It’s a struggle every day as the sun battles the clouds. Seattle’s gray, dreary reputation is redeemed each day around 2pm when finally, blue peeks through, the sun trumphantly takes over, and the city transforms. Sunny, mid-70s– beautiful. I leave you with a sneak peek from the Bite of Seattle two days ago; today’s the…
