The Pearl is a unique urban loft space in the Dogpatch, SF with soaring ceilings and a wonderful roof deck. I was happy to be on board as their photographer for the second year in a row when they held their open house last month. Take a peek at the event and all the wonderful…
It’s time for my first monthly recap of 2019! We rewind to the first day of the year, when I met up with family for dinner at Rivoli at the end of my solo New Year’s retreat. Opening the year with a tarot workshop with Stephanie, who created the Fleurot Deck. So thankful for our…
We unknowingly chose the warmest day of the year so far for Alyssa and Mark’s engagement session, but we dodged the crowds to capture these beautiful sun-kissed engagement portraits. And we even got some extra local flavor in one of the shots, as you’ll see below. :) Congrats, Alyssa & Mark! Looking forward to your…
This session came together in a matter of days. Misoo and Damien live in New York, but with Misoo visiting home for the new year and Damien in town for work, we embraced the gorgeous California coast for a sunset session. The gorgeous couple, stunning light, and beautiful scenery all came together to make magic….
It was a last-minute idea that just came to mind while I was driving home on the 30th of December, and just as quickly, it turned into solid travel plans for the next day. Instead of seeking out a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration or watching fireworks, I booked a stay at a farm off…
Here we are with the final monthly recap of 2018. It was a wonderful month on the quiet side, filled with gatherings of friends and family and lots of time at home finishing up my work for the year. First, a gorgeous sunset scene from the Marin Headlands. A little lunch break in the middle…
It was such a delight to work with Daniel on this proposal for his girlfriend Genevieve. The two of them are from Singapore and met their freshman year at UC Berkeley. In December of that year, the two of them sat on this exact bench, and it was there that Daniel asked Genevieve to be…
Christine and Bobby have different recollections about how they met, but technically it was through taekwondo at MIT. They were friendly. Bobby remembers making a veggie-friendly lasagna for their Christmas banquet in consideration of Christine since she’s a vegetarian. Christine remembers Bobby knowing that she liked animals and video games and him very sketchily inviting…
When Grant started thinking about proposing to Glenna, he knew he wanted to include her two kids in the proposal too. They would all be traveling together to San Francisco for the first time, a place that Glenna has always wanted to visit. And so Grant trusted the kids to be in on the surprise…
We are coming up on Tiffany and Greg’s one-year anniversary from their New Year’s Eve wedding last year, so now was the perfect time to do one more photo session in San Francisco and also get some portraits for their holiday cards this year. We endured plenty of wind at Sutro Baths, but it turned…
We already got a sneak peek of Natalie and Ford since they combined their engagement session with their housemates Lauren and Kodie, but today we get to see a bit more from these two! They are high school sweethearts who met in Virginia and then went to school together at UVA. They then lived together…
Say hello to Lauren and Kodie and their labradoodle Royce, whom everyone notes looks a whole lot like Kodie. Lauren and Kodie met back in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Lauren eventually followed Kodie out to San Francisco after he got a job here. They just recently gained two housemates who are also an…
