Happy Anniversary, Jenny & Kevin! Today is the actual date that marks two years from their wedding. I love that we have an annual tradition of doing a photoshoot together. It’s been so much fun celebrating their relationship over the years and flexing our creativity muscles so that no two shoots are ever the same….
Every Monday, I will be featuring an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. I just knew it would all be fine. I had every reason to doubt, but I wasn’t worried. I had been emailing with Suzanne for days, planning this ballerina…
I had the absolute privilege of visiting Ireland on a last minute whim in August. My friend Mitha organized the entire trip, and we started and ended in Dublin while going on a three-day rail tour in the middle. On day one we headed to the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone, we went through…
I was very honored when my friend Shang asked me to do a photo session for her and her boyfriend. I was also incredibly nervous, because Shang is an amazing photographer herself and has been generously dispensing business and photography advice to me since the very beginning! How do you photograph the photographer? Well, we had…
Gemma and Kevin have been so fun to work with. Their warmth and sincerity are just so lovely to be around. They chose the Tiburon trail for their engagement photos– a place they used to frequent together– and it was the perfect setting. Romance surrounded by nature. Such sweetness.

We kicked things off with a drink at one of their favorite brunch spots, Buck’s. Tucked away in town of Woodside, Buck’s is a warm, cozy joint– the perfect place to start off an adorable engagement session. The shoot was filled with sweetness and laughter, and I had so much fun with Emilie and Marcus roaming…
Peggy is kind, sweet, and down to earth– your typical girl next door in every way, especially, as Jay found, in the literal way. She lived just down the hall from Jay, and what started as a friendship between neighbors quickly developed into a love between soulmates. It is such a delight to be around…
Eric’s mom hadn’t even made it halfway down the aisle to her seat when the she set off the avalanche of tears. When Eric saw her, he started. Then the wedding party started. By the time Cami came down the aisle, the whole wedding had melted into a pile of happy tears. That pretty adequately…
We are now on part two, day two of my Memorial Day weekend adventures. We started the day at China Camp, a state park up by San Rafael. Unfortunately, it is about to be shut down next month due to California state budget issues, so our visit was aptly timed. China Camp was a historic…
Friday night of Memorial Day weekend, I texted my good friend Dan because we still had no plans whatsoever, and we needed to do something! Dan is the perfect adventure buddy because he is not fazed by the randomness of our trips (example: Salton Sea). After all, spontaneous trips often turn out to be the…
