In April, Justin and I made a little Europe trip for two weeks and visited some friends in Amsterdam and Berlin. In Berlin, Justin got to meet up with a friend from Shanghai who lives in western Germany, and I got to meet up with my friend Talya, who’s now an opera singer with Oper Komische…
We visited Austin, Texas, for our friends Colman and Amaris’ wedding this spring and of course squeezed in a bunch of tasty food and a few neighborhood explorations while we were in town. See below for some of my snapshots from the trip! Torchy’s Tacos with our friend Connie: Wandering around South Congress, a.k.a….
I visited Portland in late March to catch up with Angela and Chase for their portrait session and to just visit my friend Yifan and explore the city. it turned out to be a characteristic rainy/sunny mix for the season, but we still had plenty of mini adventures around the area. A wonderful tea tasting…
Snippets from three different trips to Philly, December, January, & March, smushed into one blog post. Ramen at Yamitsuki in Chinatown. A little Christmas market at a garden in Fishtown. Mexican Modernism at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Frida Kahlo… the first self portrait she ever painted. Hotpot at Hippot! Fast forward to March, back…
Over Christmas, Justin and I popped over from Philadelphia to New York City for a weekend filled wth art museums, Jewish and Chinese eateries, and other wanderings. Would you believe I’ve never ever been to the Guggenheim before? I finally made a visit thanks to my SFMOMA membership, which includes reciprocal access to the Guggenheim, The Whitney, and…
Snapshots from my Bay Area adventures this past November. A little shadow play at Little Gem. Tai Chi Jian Bing. Scouting Jordan Winery for a surprise proposal! Always lovely to take a little Napa retreat. We picked up some goodies from the Dry Creek General Store and headed to Preston Family Vineyards for our little picnic….
A glance back at my time in Philadelphia three months ago and already three trips to Philly ago. Fishtown wanderings: A visit to the Edgar Allan Poe house where he wrote The Raven amongst many other works. Michelle and Frank came down from NYC and we headed to Beiler’s Donuts in Reading Terminal Market……
Beautiful foliage, delicious lobsters, cute towns, and we even happened upon an alpaca farm. Ahh, it must be fall in Maine. Maine has been beckoning me for a few years now, and Justin and I finally got to make our way up the coast this October. I headed over to the East Coast as soon as I…
Life has been pretty great this fall, photographing beautiful weddings and hanging out with friends and fellow creatives in my free time here in the Bay. Here are some scenes from around town, August through October, 2016. Wine and cheese with Kayla at Bay Grape in Oakland. A work party with Fiber Florist Vivian and…
We’ve finally made it to the final stop of our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia: Melbourne. Our stay was only two days long, but we all fell for the city in that short time. Melbourne and Sydney have a running rivalry much like LA vs. New York or maybe LA vs. SF. (And…
We continue the series with more explorations around Sydney, including a quick visit to the coastal shores of Bondi Beach. We start off again in Surry Hills, the neighborhood where we stayed for our three-night visit. Our airbnb was cute, but the windows did not have screens and I got eaten alive by a mosquito and…
After a whole lot of anticipation, we finally made our way to Sydney, Australia. There was quite a bit of hype for the city, considering our friend did fall in love with it, quit his job, and move across the world to live there. And then he met a girl, fell in love with her, and…
