At home in the month of April. Starting it off with a virtual accountability meeting. Matt Chapman bobblehead day with the Giants. Golden State 5k! I walked most of it, but I was proud to do it at all as I was starting my third trimester. Brunch at Rabbit Hole. And stroller shopping with my…
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….
I planned a little gender reveal for a small group of friends and family, but especially for Alex. He had kept the gender a surprise for himself for the first part of the pregnancy, even though I already knew. So I thought about what would be fun for Alex, and I decided to go with…
I’m back on the monthly recaps! We spent most of January in Asia, so I’m picking up with a combined post on both January and February in the Bay. We definitely returned from Asia with three more bags than we left with! And our first meal back was… Chipotle? Videochat catch-ups We also came back…
Returning from our month-long vacation in Asia last January, I launched right into my birthday celebration with some of my dear friends. We treated everyone to the truly outstanding dining experience at Sun Moon Studio in West Oakland. This tiny 12-seat restaurant first captured my attention when I found out that Taiwanese American chef Alan…
Angela’s sister Betty was the one to reach out and book this portrait session for her as a gift. Angela is an OB/GYN and is expecting her first child this winter! We were able to wander Bair Island just outside their place for some beautiful sunset portraits, and then we had a little part two…
I am so honored to be asked back by previous client friends. It’s been a few years since Cynthia & Erik’s pandemic-era engagement and wedding, and now they are back in the Bay Area, visiting with their new little one! We went back to the site of their engagement session, the Lawrence Hall of Science,…
This was such a wonderful gift, from husband to wife– a family photo session! The girls were full of sass and silliness as we roamed around the expansive grounds at Filoli. Such a beautiful way to mark this festive season. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work…
Alas, San Francisco beaches are never quite what people picture when they imagine “California beaches.” Karl the Fog was out in full force, hiding most of the Golden Gate Bridge and adding a cold chill to Baker Beach. But the Chin Family powered through and radiated their own joy and warmth. Such a fun little…
It is such a special treat to photograph friends year after year! Last time S was barely beginning to walk, and now she’s running around! We met at their neighborhood park for a lovely little session this year, marked by crispy fall leaves and the whims of a moody toddler. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Grace has been a friend and a client for almost a decade now, as we were connected through the Taiwanese American community here in the Bay Area and I have been photographing her and her family since 2016. I was excited to hear that Grace’s memoir has been picked up for publication, and I was…
It has been twelve years since I first started photographing this family, and of course by family I mean J & K for their engagement session long before the kids came along. It’s such a privilege to watch these families grow and to have a part in documenting their stories over time. For this session…
