August recap! Wow, so much baseball. And a few outings with friends as well. Let’s get right into it! The Giants continue to be #1 in all of MLB! We continue to attend a bunch of their games. I never thought I’d actually like going to so much baseball, but it’s quite a fun experience…
On a beautiful day in July, we drove north of the city for an afternoon of kayaking in Tomales Bay. Alex signed us up for a group kayak tour with REI, and we were lucky in every way with not only clear skies but also favorable winds, and we discovered the ease of a tandem…
This was such a sweet double proposal. Aparna reached out to me to let me know that she and Shiv were planning their proposals together, and they would both be proposing, not as a surprise, but as something they wanted to do together. They had designed matching rings together, and each wrote a card that…
Daisy and Eric once walked down this stretch of coastline after Daisy had just met Eric’s entire extended family when she attended his grandmother’s birthday party. What a sweet place to return to in celebration of their engagement and upcoming wedding, remembering everything that has brought them here and being open to the journey ahead….
It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Last year, in the midst of shelter-in-place, I set out with a group of photographer friends to work on a collaborative art project titled Isolayered. As we have since returned to some version of normalcy and then gone back towards isolation again, I’m reflecting on the beauty and the difficulty of community when connection becomes…
I would say that July was the month we quickly rushed out into the world, before quietly being ushered back into our homes. We had been fully vaccinated for over a month already, and started expanding our social circles and reclaiming old things like indoor dining, photographing full weddings, and going maskless. But then with…
Channel Islands was the eighth out of California’s nine national parks that I’ve been lucky enough to visit. Armed with our newfound immunity, we planned a road trip in June down to Southern California, where we could take a ferry out to the islands. There are actually five channel islands, and we visited just a…
Solvang is a funny little Danish town in Southern California, not far from Santa Barbara. I’ve been through the town once before on a solo roadtrip down Hwy 1. This time we did a very brief stop-through of Solvang and the town of Los Olivos just down the road, because it was nearly 100 degrees…
Back in June, Alex and I decided to take a little road trip down through Southern California, with Channel Islands National Park as the primary destination, and of course lots of other fun towns and delicious food along the way. The first day of the road trip was spent in Santa Barbara, and we also…
I loved meeting Mansi and Wes and trekking all over town for this fun engagement session. We covered a lot of ground, from Jackson Square through Chinatown and up to North Beach. San Francisco is still relatively new to these two, with Mansi having only joined Wes here right at the start of the pandemic,…
Events are back! I was honored be back for the third time photographing the Industry “House Party” at The Pearl. This time, after a long hiatus, we were celebrating the return of the events at this San Francisco venue. See a few of the highlights below! Guests entered through School Night, the bar/restaurant adjacent to…
