I’ve been looking forward to this lovely portrait session for almost a year since our last shoot together. Shau-Ru and Ed are always plotting little getaways and romantic gestures for each other that are just so sweet. It’s a true joy to see what Shau-Ru dreams up for each of our shoots. For their second…
Pointe of View is now available in form! The calendar comes as a set of twelve 4×8″ cards, each featuring a ballerina photograph from the Pointe of View series and a clean, modern calendar design. It’s a stylish set, beautiful as art on the wall or stacked as a desk calendar. They come wrapped and gift-ready…
When you head out of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving northward under the iconic International Orange towers, you cross into a decidedly different peninsula. The first stretch is undeveloped hills, and then through a tunnel and off to the right, you can visit the town of Sausalito, a posh little area lined…
I am often guilty of taking tons of photos when I travel elsewhere but totally neglecting my own beautiful surroundings when I’m back in California. The solution? A hearty dose of staycation (vacationing at home!). My boyfriend Jesse was coming to San Francisco for a business conference, just as he did last year (when we…
I absolutely love seeing weddings in print form, and these heirloom leather albums are the perfect way to capture the story for generations to come. Gemma and Kevin’s album is a lovely “coffee bean” leather in an 8×8″ size. In the leaves, amongst the leaves. Each book is expertly crafted with bindings that will last…
It’s our little tradition to document Jenny and Kevin’s love story and to create a beautiful leather album every year. For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
For my boyfriend Jesse’s birthday this year, he had a dinner party with fifteen friends. But it wasn’t any dinner party– it was a privately catered event with Luca and Bri from MasterChef! If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll know that Luca is the lovable Italian guy who won the whole thing, and…
Yali is quiet, genuine, caring, while Sriram is laid-back, more outgoing, and always able to make her laugh. When they met at work, they found balance and a place in each other’s hearts. I met these two on a sunny but windy-cold day in San Francisco for some engagement photos by the Legion of Honor…
In the beginning of November, I hopped down to Los Angeles for just a couple days and just hung out with some friends, enjoying low-key delicious meals, playing board games, and even putting together some floral arrangements just for fun. Here’s just a little glimpse from my visit. Flowers from our LA Flower Market trip….
Greetings from New York! I am currently in the city again, but I am still posting about last month’s trip. We packed in the New York eats as always, between our trip to India and my photographing a Brooklyn wedding. It was a lovely autumn visit all in all. Gifts from Jesse on the left:…
Courtney and Nick are so down to earth and a joy to be around. We met up in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and roamed around, making stops in the Japanese Tea Garden, where they went on the day of Nick’s proposal, and around the Conservatory of Flowers as well. It was an incredibly foggy…
The final day of Anika and Vijay’s wedding may well have been the most spectacular of the three, which is no small feat when you look back on it all. Our day started with a tour of Jaisalmer, and then we came back for the Baraat, which did indeed include Vijay riding in on an…
