This was such a wonderful fall photo session for this extended family! I’ve been friends with these folks for decades and got to photograph both Tiffany and Greg’s wedding almost seven years ago and Andrew and Sharon’s wedding last year. And now we’ve expanded and reunited with three kiddos, including the two baby girl cousins…
In many ways it seems that the universe has long been conspiring to bring Kelly and Jeff together, and yet it took a long, long time for them to actually find each other, and longer still for them to realize they should be more than friends. Kelly and Jeff share so many of the same…
We are in a bit of a golden age for English-language Taiwanese cookbooks, and I am loving it. After collecting quite a few of these cookbooks, I decided to start the Taiwanese American Cookbook Club as an interactive way of celebrating and exploring all of these wonderful books and their recipes. It’s a special potluck…
Art-filled adventures around the Bay from this April and May! First off, Pace Gallery teamLab in Menlo Park. The main exhibits are very instagrammable. They’re mostly different light installations that run on infinitely variable algorithms, so they are supposed to factor in human interaction, but they’re not immediately responsive or anything, so the interactive aspect is…

I just love how happy Caterina and John are when they’re together. They are giddy with excitement and absolutely unstoppable. They first met in a dining hall, freshman year at Harvard, and they quickly became friends. Senior year, friendship turned to courtship, and soon after, they both got into their top choice medical school, UC…
It all started with a bit of silly bickering over what should have been a very easy fact for two Harvard grads to agree upon. For some bizarre reason, Silvia had herself convinced that she was 21 despite the fact that, as James mathematically proved on a napkin, she was really 22. Yes, she conceded…
Their love is sugary sweet, a simple syrup poured out to melt your heart. Kristen is gentle, supportive, loving, reserved. And Matt is open and earnestly romantic, passionate about everything he loves. They have an unbounded excitement for each other, constantly finding reassurance in each other’s arms. We all went to Duke University together, where…
Not five minutes into my first conversation with Claudia, the violinist of Trio Jubilee, I discovered she was born in Ann Arbor, grew up in the East Bay, and taught at Duke University as part of the Ciompi Quartet. No way! I was born in Ann Arbor, live in the East Bay now, and went…
