I am thrilled to take you all behind the scenes of my friend Cassie’s photography mentorship, which she hosted last month in San Francisco. Cassie is not only an amazing photographer, she’s incredibly generous with and articulate about everything she’s ever learned, which makes her the perfect person to lead a mentorship group. I’m constantly…
Teresa and Steve were wed in a simple and beautiful ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. We met for a wonderful portrait session with just the two of them, and then their families joined them for their wedding. See just a few glimpses of the day below. Congratulations, Teresa & Steve! Anna Wu is…
Fuzzy little aliens have invaded Union Square! Not to worry, the little creatures are part of the 2019 Macy’s Flower Show. The theme is Journey to Paradisios, with lots of references to outer space and sci fi fun. I was hired to photograph the event before it officially opened on Friday, and the installations will…
One of the first things I learned about Evangel and Edwin was how incredibly important the Coast Guard is in their lives, and soon after, I also learned how important their families are to them. Evangel grew up a child of the Coast Guard, with her father serving throughout her childhood. And Edwin is in…
I am so thankful for this little family and for the support they’ve shown me over the years! This is our fifth shoot together, starting from Joyce and Keven’s engagement session back in 2013. I’m thrilled to keep the tradition going. This year, we opted to do an at-home session in their beautiful Oakland house,…
Just a gorgeous woman in her cute white romper, plus or minus a hat or two. Simple ingredients for this fun and beautiful boudoir session. I love her laugh. And those fun shadows! Afterwards, we turned the session into a little black book, which she gifted to her husband for Valentine’s Day. There’s such…
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…
I was absolutely delighted to photograph these portfolio pieces for Shoppe Theory. They are a design studio based in both New York City (Jess) and San Francisco (Do-Hee), and like many designers had crafted so many wonderful brands throughout the year but hadn’t gotten around to photographing any of them. On a December day, Do-Hee…
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…
Say hello to Aileen, Jason, and their adorable little boy Oliver. Aileen and Jason were so generous in bringing me to their home in McKinney, Texas to do a family portrait session for them this fall. It has been a long journey for this family to reach this point, as they discovered that Oliver had…
Their first date was at a boba shop, and then Dennis decided to show up to Jennifer’s dance class every week until she agreed to be his girlfriend. I suppose she found it endearing, because she said yes to being his girlfriend, and then said yes again to being his wife. They were wed in…
