• Little Gifts, Made with Love

    I had some extra time on my hands last night, so I decided to spend it crafting some extra special packaging for the CDs I’m mailing out soon. I cut each CD sleeve from two pieces of cardstock, glued the two pieces together, inserted the CD and a business card, tied it off with twine,…

  • Oh Multitasking

    I love multitasking. I’m most at peace when I have ten projects going on at once, and I love tracking the logistics of it all. I constantly have too many tabs open in my internet browser and too many programs running on my computer. I love it when my calendar is full and colorful, and…

  • Love and a New Year

    “There are three holidays happening this weekend! Who can tell me which holidays?” I ask the kindergartners and first graders in my after-school program.

  • San Francisco Guitar Quartet | San Francisco Headshots Photographer

    Western music very often comes in fours: 4/4 time, 4 strings on a violin, and all those beautiful 4-member groups: string quartets, barbershop quartets, brass quartets– even the standard rock band is usually two guitars, a bass, and a drum kit. But a bit more uncommon is the guitar quartet. No, not a band with…

  • Kristina & Peter’s Engagement | Sebastopol Engagement Photographer

    There’s a huge obsession with everything “vintage” in the wedding world right now. Brides and blogs all over the place are carefully crafting their perfect illusions of this old, chic style. So imagine my amusement when I got to explore a whole place that was effortlessly vintage– not because we styled it that way, but…

  • Passion Project: TaiwaneseAmerican.org | Webdesign

    Every so often– more often than not, actually– I get to spend my time working on projects I love. It’s not just a coincidence, but a conscious effort to pursue what I find compelling. And while the idea of pursuing your passions is a common enough sentiment, I think many people perceive it too difficult…
