Melbourne! I first visited Melbourne three years prior on our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia. My time in Melbourne was brief but wonderful. This time, visiting Australia with Alex, we had different work schedules which meant that he arrived in Melbourne three days before me, we then took off for our road trip…
My great Thanksgiving adventure this year was a jaunt around Australia. We started in Melbourne, and from there rented a car to take a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s analog to our Pacific Coast Highway in California, although perhaps a more concentrated version with epic landscapes along this 150-mile stretch. Our overall…
This was such a beautiful and soul-affirming session. V had never considered doing a boudoir session, thinking she would never be interested in taking such revealing photos. But I am so happy that she saw a boudoir session on my website that changed her mind completely about what boudoir can be. Far from being scandalous,…
I’m excited to share Jennifer and Gary’s guest book today! We traveled up to Rosario Beach, Washington for their engagement session this past fall, and we transformed those images into a beautiful book that their guests will be able to sign at their wedding this summer. Here’s a look at the wraparound photo cover. And…
It’s become an annual tradition for me to collect small gifts along my travels and to gather them as holiday gifts for my wedding clients. I really love choosing the items as I go and curating these one-of-a-kind packages, never to be repeated from year to year! 2019 was such a full year for travels….
Connection From the start of 2019, I chose “connection” as my theme for the year. Connection is the heart of what makes us human, and yet, I so often resist it, setting it aside for comfort, introversion, and an attempt to protect myself through isolation. I wanted to push myself beyond that and to practice…
I love seeing photographs in print, especially in the form of these beautiful heirloom albums. Isabella and Hugh chose a light grey luxe linen for their wedding album, with gold foil debossing on the cover. Peek inside the book below! Their wedding reception was at The Plumed Horse, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Saratoga. Complete…
The last couple months have been very packed with travels! But we’re catching up now with the November Bay Area recap! First, dinner at the new, much-lauded Nari. Very delicious, and a beautiful space inside Hotel Kabuki. Alex’s monthly wine club pickup! And a visit to Heath Ceramics. Watched the movie Parasite with Dan and…
As part of our trip to attend a New England wedding this November, we also got to spend a couple days in New York City, eating our way around town. Here’s a little recap below! Night one, dinner at Cosme with our wonderful host Julia! We took note of their use of Heath Ceramics. Duck…
We caught the tail end of fall when we visited the East Coast to attend Alex’s friend’s wedding in New England. We flew to New York and then took a road trip to Connecticut and Rhode Island, making a quick tour of New Haven, Mystic, and Providence along the way. Glimpse a bit of the…
What an adorable family, reunited for the holidays! We headed to the Arizona Gardens at Stanford for some portraits with the Ongs. So fun and so color-coordinated! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco but often jetsetting around the world. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing the…
Catherine is a freelance singer based in Sacramento, and she reached out to me to photograph some new portraits and headshots for her auditions and promo materials. We chose San Francisco City Hall with all its marble and grand architecture as the perfect backdrop to these photographs. See a couple of my favorites below. …
