I had such a wonderful time photographing Malissa and Omar for their portrait session in Golden Gate Park. They are expecting their first this spring, a beacon of excitement, and joy amidst the survival mode of living through a pandemic. It was a delight to spend some time with these two and their easy smiles,…
We concluded our road trip to Southern California with a workweek spent in Venice. It’s usually overrun with tourists and beachgoers, but Venice without the crowds was actually quite charming, not least because we stayed in an amazing converted garage airbnb, which made for a perfect lush jungle working retreat. Breakfast from Gjiusta, the bakery…
What a treat to be able to visit Joshua Tree via road trip. We visited on a girls’ trip a couple years ago, and we even had a whole portrait session in the desert. This time was a bit different, thanks to the pandemic, with Courtney and Jackson in town for work and Cassie and…
A couple months ago, we decided to go on a little road trip down to Southern California, visiting San Gabriel Valley, Joshua Tree, and Venice. Of course the theme of the trip for SGV was eating. We tried various forms of mostly Asian food takeout and we found parks to walk around. See some of…
This was such a sweet way to wrap up a very strange year. Christina and Kelvin decided to go for their personal trifecta in 2020: get engaged, buy their first house, and get married! All amidst a pandemic. On New Year’s Eve, just under the wire, we met in the back yard of their new…
Wine country in the fall. Here is a little peek at a short day trip we took up to Healdsburg, California, just to pick up some wines and to grab a snack atop Singlethread’s temporary roof bar. First, a stop at the Petaluma Seed Bank to pick up some new seeds for our spring plantings–…
I am delighted to share today this hearty dose of sunset magic and a brilliant love story that survives nine years of long distance and includes a marriage proposal in a lavender field which each of them had driven over ten hours to reach, in the midst of a pandemic. Cynthia and Erik met in…
We have been all about the California road trip this year. A couple months ago, we headed south, about three hours south of San Francisco, to Paso Robles and the surrounding Central Coast areas. It made for a wonderful long weekend excursion. Our first stop was Bruce Munro’s Field of Light at Sensorio. It’s a…
I am so grateful to have wonderful wedding clients who revisit me as family clients over the years. This year especially, with big weddings on hold, it was my past clients who kept my business going with their portrait sessions! It was an absolute delight to photograph Adrienne and Jenton and little H for their…
What a delightful family session! I had photographed Jen and Christophe years ago for their holiday cards. I was excited to see them again and meet the little one who turned out to be such a ham for the camera. See some of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…
