Yannie and Howard met through mutual friends in their neighborhood and their church. They became friends first, hanging out here and there for a year until a group trip to the Winter Olympics in Korea brought them closer and provided the perfect setting for Howard to ask Yannie to be his girlfriend. When it came…
A couple months ago, my dear friend Do-Hee hired me to photograph some portraits for her brother Shawn, who just graduated from medical school. Despite the global pandemic, or perhaps even more so because of it, we’re all being asked to celebrate our wins and mark special moments in whatever safe, thoughtful, creative ways we…
From the start of wedding planning, Candace and Derek sat down and had a conversation with each other about their values and what they wanted their wedding to represent. They wrote a vision statement that stated their commitment to celebrate their relationship, their family, and their friends, and to let go of materialism and patriarchal…
I’m delighted to look back at this wedding from a few weeks ago. S & P were wed at San Francisco City Hall with their pup in tow. We also visited the Presidio for some couple’s portraits and ended at the Cliff House for their reception, overlooking the ocean at sunset. See just a few…
Hello from week two of shelter-in-place. Let’s travel back in time, exactly three weeks ago, when we were still on a small retreat up in Ukiah: five photographers and a designer from our Office of Accountability. We enjoyed home cooked meals, a day at the spa, and then came back to photograph new portraits for…
It was such a joy and a privilege to meet up with the Lynch family to photograph them for the third time. It’s especially fun to look back on the first session and see how much the boys have grown in four years. Now the eldest is getting ready to go off to college! See…
Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
They first met at MIT, where Bobby was Christine’s Taekwondo instructor. For weeks he strategized on how he could make an introduction to hang out with her. He tried to make small talk about her being a vegetarian with some bungled jokes like “I could totally be vegetarian. Is meat a vegetable?” But when he…
I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…

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,…
