Back in March, we hopped in the car for a little weekend getaway to the mountains. We’re incredibly lucky to be able to just opt in to a couple days of winter when we feel like it and then return to the Bay Area where it’s spring again. Alex got to sneak in a couple…

Our neighborhood walking tours began in December 2020, borne out of pandemic restlessness and a desire to trick myself out of hibernation and into exploring my surroundings (safely) again. I researched free walking tours or assembled various articles and book chapters to make up my own background reading on various places around the San Francisco…
Elaine and Sean share a love of nature and exploring the outdoors, and they regularly go on long hikes with a nice bottle of wine in tow. After considering many possible locations for their engagement session, they set their hearts on this beautiful spot in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Park in the East Bay. The…

Just like that, we slipped into a new year. We were down in Cupertino for the first couple of days, where Alex got to try out his new barbecue smoker. A visit to Larkspur, where the trees roam the streets. And a walk around Mission Bay. Weekly Whitney chat. Weekly Talya chat. More scenes from…
