It’s already time for another monthly recap! And this one is going to be a long one, because I was actually in the Bay for almost the entire month, and I was lucky enough to have many little adventures filling all my weeks. We start with a beautiful panoramic view from Tomales Bay! Fresh oysters…
This was my very first time getting to visit Fort Funston, a famed off-leash dog park on the coast of San Francisco, and I had so much fun exploring it with Maddi and Kangway and their little pup Quin. See a few highlights below! Congrats, Maddi & Kangway! Looking forward to your wedding in October!…
Welcome to the July recap! I also traveled to Lassen, Taipei, and Alaska this month, but somehow I also squeezed in all these other mini adventures while I was home in California. Take a little gander below! First, Brianne was back in San Francisco! She moved to Singapore in the spring, but we were so lucky…
I am so happy to share some images from Liz and Kenny’s wedding at San Francisco City Hall. These two met through a mutual friend on Instagram of all places, and after a whirlwind long distance romance moved in together in LA and eventually moved to Sacramento to buy a house. They have been together…
For Fourth of July weekend, I embarked on a lovely four-day road trip up north through Sacramento, Chico, Redding, McArthur Burney Falls, and eventually Lassen Volcanic National Park, before circling back down to the Bay. The trip starts with a visit to the California State Capitol… because as of last year I started visiting state…
Hannah and Eric have been together for six years, she the caring and headstrong East Coaster and he the thoughtful and open Midwesterner. When they decided to get married, they wanted to head to City Hall but make a day of it, bringing their families in to California and taking a bit of a tour…
It’s time to recap another month of adventures around California! With lots and lots of 360° photos along the way. Kicking it off with dinner at Pintoh in Oakland. Heat wave! It was over 90 degrees for way too many days in San Francisco. I headed to Mission Dolores Park with Cassie and Michael (and…
The Office of Accountability goes camping! We’ve been having monthly meetings with this group for a couple years now. We set goals and meet to go over those goals, keeping each other accountable, hence the name. But for June, we decided to take the show on the road! We took two cars down to Pinnacles…
Joy and Shuai went to the same university but barely spoke to each other then. Their paths crossed again when Joy unknowingly joined the company where Shuai worked. They finally made their connection and have been together for over seven years since. On a Monday afternoon, they brought some of their closest friends with them…
It’s time to recap May in the Bay! I was around California for most of the month, except my one week in Chicago, so plenty of adventures were had. We start with our Amber Collective planning meeting, where we invited people to help us brainstorm the next event. You can see how it came together…
At the end of May, we hosted a panel discussion at Uber HQ for Amber Collective, our community-building organization for Asian American creative women. Since May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we closed out the month with this topic for the evening: “On Heritage: how history and identity inform our creative work.” We had three…
Berkenesh and Norver had their hearts set on an engagement session in the sprawling hills of Mt. Tamalpais, which I always love. I usually photograph in Mt. Tam around sunset, but since they weren’t available that evening, we opted for a sunrise session instead! And wow, it was incredibly worth it. Though we were all…
