Bay Area | September, 2021

It’s time for the September recap! We began the month with our accountability meeting, this time at Cassie’s house. With Do-Hee joining online. Dinner with Alex at Nari in Japantown. We visited pre-pandemic but wanted to come support it again. They now have a prix fixe menu, which we opted for. So delicious! Maybe a…

Bay Area | July, 2021

I would say that July was the month we quickly rushed out into the world, before quietly being ushered back into our homes. We had been fully vaccinated for over a month already, and started expanding our social circles and reclaiming old things like indoor dining, photographing full weddings, and going maskless. But then with…

June! The month in which everything returned, all at once. We got to start the month with our first in-person Accountability meeting since the beginning of 2020! What an incredible feeling. We even got to hug people and meet Nicole’s puppy in real life. Such beautiful bounty from Stephanie’s garden. And Courtney and her baby…

Welcome to the April recap! The big task of the month was moving out of my Oakland apartment after a decade of living there! See some glimpses of our month below: Paint Club patterns drawing, part two! I made this very fun Taiwanese fruit pattern and actually printed it as fabric! I’m hoping to sew…

February. Almost one year later, still living the pandemic life. Our Office of Accountability has new swag! Thank you for designing these, Do-Hee! A walk at Fremont Older Preserve in Cupertino. Neighborhood blossoms. Cassie and I started a weekly Chinese conversation hour to practice our Mandarin! We just talk about random stuff, or use questions…

Shirin & Eric | San Francisco Engagement Photography

Shirin and Eric first met at SantaCon five years ago (with her dressed as Ms. Gingerbread and he as Super Santa), so Christmas is one of their favorite times of year. For the proposal, Eric wanted to pay tribute to Shirin’s old tradition of creating fairytale books for her family, so he taught himself how…

Amanda & Todd | San Francisco Travel Portraits

I absolutely love this idea: professional portraits on vacation. Amanda and Todd have been married for a couple years and live in a small community in Manitoba, the centermost province of Canada. They run a family grain & bean farm,which always makes their vacations well-earned and much appreciated. They are always plotting their travels, so when Amanda and Todd…
