It has been twelve years since I first started photographing this family, and of course by family I mean J & K for their engagement session long before the kids came along. It’s such a privilege to watch these families grow and to have a part in documenting their stories over time. For this session…
What a joy to photograph this growing family! It’s always wonderful to spend time with Parker and Amanda, and it was extra special to meet their little one, especially after having just photographed them all when baby was still on the inside. That all feels like it was just yesterday, but I suppose it’s already…
Seven kids and seven adults, and at least my seventh time photographing this wonderful family. You might think the chaos level would decrease over time, but instead these kids just get faster and more opinionated every year. But it’s all great fun, and the photos are such a time capsule and a delightful marker of…
It was such a delight to photograph Tracey’s book event at the adorable Books on B in Hayward. Tracey is a certified leadership coach, who has now turned her coaching wisdom into her debut book, The Magic of Knowing What You Want. I love seeing a community come together in support of one of its own….
I have loved watching this little family grow! I first photographed E when he was just two weeks old, and now he’s up and about, exploring the world on his own two feet. The Yens have been diligent about taking the whole family on hikes, so we headed into one of their favorite environments for…
This was a sweet session for Ailan and her family, walking around Lake Chabot in the East Bay. Her two sons were home from college for the holidays, and their energetic new puppy was ready to steal the show. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at…
Bay Area sports fans, and Giants fans in particular, might just recognize the mama of this family– Emmy-winning sports anchor Laura Britt! It was an absolute delight to meet Laura and to photograph her whole family. We got a gorgeous sun-kissed backdrop atop this rather steep but quite beautiful hill in the East Bay. Anna…
Amanda and Susana have been together for a decade, and they have built a strong and supportive foundation for their lives together in that time. They chose to have a small ceremony and lunch reception at Oakland’s Terrace Room overlooking Lake Merritt, before having a second banquet wedding up in Seattle for family. A very…
Welcome to the world, little E! This family has been on quite an adventure in the last few months, preparing for E’s arrival and moving across states and across the Bay, but it’s so wonderful to see everyone here and settling in to their new lives together as a family of four (including Pawblo the…
Sharon and Andrew exude warmth and care for each other and for those around them, and their community also radiates that same love and care back at them. Though they had a large wedding, with 220 guests, many of whom were under the age of five, the whole celebration felt remarkably intimate. The entire day…
Sixteen adults, three kids, and a pup. We roamed a small park in Fremont and photographed every permutation and combination of this four-generation family, but no matter what grouping or order you put them in, what comes out is love. Such a joy to document these special gatherings of family over the holidays! First, the…
This big family is truly such a delight to photograph, because no matter how chaotic seven children running freely might actually be in real life, somehow the images show only the joy and love that exists amongst each of these wonderful people. It’s also very fun to look back at the last session we all…
