Chrissy & Aaron | Mt. Tam Elopement Photography
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,…

Lesley & Min | Custom Calligraphy Wedding Album
Lesley and Min’s wedding was an absolute stunner at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and we created a beautiful wedding album befitting the story of their day. They chose a luxe linen for the cover, and we added custom calligraphy from Brown Fox Calligraphy with gold debossing for the title. Getting ready for the…

Helen & Ian | Sea Ranch Maternity Portraits
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…

Autumn in NYC
Alex and I spent almost two weeks of September in New York, and we just happened to catch the transition from summer into fall.

Los Angeles
Alex and I got to take a brief road trip down to LA for Labor Day weekend since I had a wedding to photograph down there. Our friends Jon and Pei were kind enough to host us, and we managed to squeeze a lot into our brief visit! First, scenes from our drive down: a…

Haeler Family | New York City Portraits
What a joy to reunite with Cynthia and Carolyn, this time on the East Coast! The Haeler family resides in New York, but all three times I had photographed them so far were in California, as they were here for their engagement, their wedding, and visiting family with little C. This time I got to…

Bay Area | August, 2023
August, my friends! It was a very full month for us in the Bay, since we were actually around for the whole month, minus one road trip up to Davis, which I’ve still included in the Bay Area recap below. First, a little sewing project for some dear friends of mine! This was a pattern…
