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…
It’s my annual tradition to kick off the year with a creative birthday celebration. Past celebrations include the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, a plant party, and last year’s tea party. This year? A gathering about gatherings. I was inspired by Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering, to think…
It’s time for our first monthly recap of 2020! I had a wonderful January in the Bay, with the tail end of our Redwood National Park excursion in the beginning, my birthday party in the middle, and a small road trip to Monterey as well. But otherwise, I spent most of my time right here…
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…

The Presidio is such a special area in San Francisco. It’s a national park spanning the northwestern corner of the city, and it comprises woods, beach, nature trails, and several gorgeous wedding venues. I was thrilled to be asked back to photograph their venue showcase for the third time this year. While I made my…
It’s time for December’s recap! So much holiday cheer, a Lean In retreat, and this post doesn’t even include our trips to Maui, Oahu, and Redwood National Park, all of which will come in future posts (hopefully soon-ish). We kick it off with our monthly Office of Accountability meeting, hosted in Meg’s wonderfully decorated apartment,…
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,…
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…
