Around the Bay | San Francisco Bay Area
We stood facing the sunset with the soothing sounds of the ocean crashing against a coastline lit up in vibrant hues. It was everything I loved most about the California Coast: our strange but beautiful sense of the seasons (autumn at the end of November); the color tinting our succulents rather than deciduous trees; the…

Shau-Ru & Ed’s Second Anniversary | San Francisco Bay Area Photography
I’ve been looking forward to this lovely portrait session for almost a year since our last shoot together. Shau-Ru and Ed are always plotting little getaways and romantic gestures for each other that are just so sweet. It’s a true joy to see what Shau-Ru dreams up for each of our shoots. For their second…

Gemma & Kevin | Leather Wedding Album
I absolutely love seeing weddings in print form, and these heirloom leather albums are the perfect way to capture the story for generations to come. Gemma and Kevin’s album is a lovely “coffee bean” leather in an 8×8″ size. In the leaves, amongst the leaves. Each book is expertly crafted with bindings that will last…

Jenny & Kevin’s Third Anniversary | At Home with Food & Board Games | Los Angeles Lifestyle Photography
It’s our little tradition to document Jenny and Kevin’s love story and to create a beautiful leather album every year. For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
