Welcome to my latest personal project, a series of “mood shoots.” For these shoots, I wanted to explore a certain look and feel in my portraiture, working with light and shadow, styling, and directing. As with all my personal projects, I just sort of dream up these ideas and form a vision in my mind, and then…
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been working on my year-long personal project, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. View the full set of previous shoots in the series here: Art for Art. In June, I met up with Rosa…
Friends of this blog may remember Anika and Vijay from their adorable proposal, which I captured while hiding behind a couch, or from their epic wedding in India! Well, they’re back again for another round of photos. While their wedding in India was incredible, it wasn’t quite legally binding for California, so we got together…
This is a wonderful, compact little gem that Amy and David created to commemorate their wedding day. They selected a naval blue leather cover for the 8×8″ album, and it’s packed with some of my favorite moments from the day. A beautiful heirloom! I love seeing and flipping through these albums and re-living all the…
Jennifer contacted me months ago for some maternity photos, but we ended up rescheduling until after she had baby Liam, so I got to visit the new family in their beautiful home. I love Liam’s giant head of hair! So adorable. Such a beautiful family! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in…
Kevin reached out to me after finding my wedding work online. He and his family were visiting from Chicago, and they would seize the moment to capture some adorable family portraits with their 6-month-old boy. We walked a nice little loop around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, and it was a super cute session…
I met Grace and Andy at Crissy Field in San Francisco for their engagement session, and they also brought along their two fur-kids: Tina and Bailey. They dashed around rambunctiously and added extra spice to Grace’s beautiful, unstoppable laughs and Andy’s good-natured smiles as we adventured our way through to the end of the shoot…
We drove through the winding hills, ascending past ambitious bicyclists and sweeping views. It took over an hour to reach our destination right in the middle of Mt. Tampalpais, and it was absolutely worth the trek. Daisy and Sam were treated to beautiful sunshine and a perfectly warm day, and I absolutely love so many…

Over Mother’s Day weekend, my friend Tiffany and I got to check out Heath Ceramics’ open studios event by participating in a workshop at the San Francisco store. We got to learn about their bud vases and try our hands at pouring one from a mold and also glazing one to keep. It was tons of fun…
They met over five years ago with a hearty dose of serendipity and the willingness to go the extra mile for each other, literally. She was living in Sacramento and he was in San Jose, two and a half hours away, but they met online, and he made the five-hour round trip journey to meet…
There’s a special magic to walking amidst the redwoods at 6pm on a Thursday. The park is almost empty, quiet but for the sounds of nature that surround you. It was the perfect setting to Katherine and Josh’s engagement session. And though dogs aren’t allowed in Muir Woods itself, their pup Scout got to join…
