I am delighted to share today this hearty dose of sunset magic and a brilliant love story that survives nine years of long distance and includes a marriage proposal in a lavender field which each of them had driven over ten hours to reach, in the midst of a pandemic. Cynthia and Erik met in…
It was an unexpected year, to say the least. But still, second by second, we got through it. From the surprisingly “normal” times pre-pandemic through the endless days of quarantine, here is a look back at the year, one second at a time. For previous years, see 2019, 2018, and 2017. Anna Wu is a wedding…

We have been all about the California road trip this year. A couple months ago, we headed south, about three hours south of San Francisco, to Paso Robles and the surrounding Central Coast areas. It made for a wonderful long weekend excursion. Our first stop was Bruce Munro’s Field of Light at Sensorio. It’s a…
I am so grateful to have wonderful wedding clients who revisit me as family clients over the years. This year especially, with big weddings on hold, it was my past clients who kept my business going with their portrait sessions! It was an absolute delight to photograph Adrienne and Jenton and little H for their…

It felt like we were pretty settled in to pandemic life in October. We focused most of our energies on sprucing up our home and rotating between the three places we have around the Bay in San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland. One of the biggest developments was that our furniture that we ordered back on…
I am absolutely delighted to share this family session today. I photographed Bridgette and Ryan’s engagement and wedding seven years ago, and they reached back out this year to photograph their family and their six-month-old baby girl! She has the best smile and was such a joy to photograph. See some highlights below! Nomnomnom hair!…
This was such a fun little proposal, complete with a musical performance by the two grooms-to-be, backgrounded by the golden gate bridge. Nigel’s plan was to tell Ritchie they would dress up and meet their friends in the park to play some music. Of course, this being a pandemic and the whole premise being completely…
It’s such a joy to photograph my past wedding clients as they become parents! I met up with S & H at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland for some family portraits with baby H too. Such a beautiful, sunny day and a wonderful reprieve from the smoky skies of last month. Baby H is really…
September. Wherein the state was on fire, and we had that incredibly eerie orange day in which the sun never rose. So, so strange. Every month continues to come with its new surprises, and I will just continue to go along with them, documenting it along the way. Here’s a look back at September, 2020….
Jeri was giving online dating one last shot before she was about to give up on it altogether. She and Dan matched on the Coffee Meets Bagel app. A chat box opened with a prompt: “Do you think the toys from Toy Story would still love Andy in his rebellious teenage years?” Dan answered, “I…
