For the second year now, I’ve recorded a second of video to represent every day of the year. As a compulsive documenter of life, this has been such a wonderful project and a really different and fun way to look back (in addition to all the photographs, the social media, the blogging, and the painting…
Christine and Bobby have different recollections about how they met, but technically it was through taekwondo at MIT. They were friendly. Bobby remembers making a veggie-friendly lasagna for their Christmas banquet in consideration of Christine since she’s a vegetarian. Christine remembers Bobby knowing that she liked animals and video games and him very sketchily inviting…
When Grant started thinking about proposing to Glenna, he knew he wanted to include her two kids in the proposal too. They would all be traveling together to San Francisco for the first time, a place that Glenna has always wanted to visit. And so Grant trusted the kids to be in on the surprise…
We are coming up on Tiffany and Greg’s one-year anniversary from their New Year’s Eve wedding last year, so now was the perfect time to do one more photo session in San Francisco and also get some portraits for their holiday cards this year. We endured plenty of wind at Sutro Baths, but it turned…
We already got a sneak peek of Natalie and Ford since they combined their engagement session with their housemates Lauren and Kodie, but today we get to see a bit more from these two! They are high school sweethearts who met in Virginia and then went to school together at UVA. They then lived together…
Say hello to Lauren and Kodie and their labradoodle Royce, whom everyone notes looks a whole lot like Kodie. Lauren and Kodie met back in their hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, and Lauren eventually followed Kodie out to San Francisco after he got a job here. They just recently gained two housemates who are also an…
I first met Courtney and Nick just over five years ago when I photographed their engagement session in Golden Gate Park. I was so delighted to hear from them again and find out that they’re now expecting their first child! We got together for a new portrait session with the two of them and their…
I love that these three sisters wanted to give their parents this photo session as their Christmas gift. With two of the sisters living here in the Bay, one in NYC, and their parents in Taiwan, they’ve long talked about wanting to do a family photo session but never been in the same place long…
It’s time for another monthly recap! Here’s a look back at my November in the Bay. First up, lunch with some new orchestra friends at Pintoh in Oakland. Guy is three! Here’s his birthday party down in Sunnyvale. With Dave, Rebecca, Mairin, and Nikhil — all friends and past wedding clients of mine!…
It was such a joy to head up to Mount Tamalpais for this portrait session with Kait and John, who are expecting their first child in January! Mt Tam has a special place in their hearts, since it was atop the East Peak that they got engaged. And with this perfect autumn day and golden…
I’m back with another monthly recap! Here’s a look at my October in the Bay. We start it off with an accountability meeting, in which we feign being Victorian ladies who swoon instead of running businesses. Love Meg’s beautiful home! On a Thursday afternoon, Brianne and I went to the instagram-bait Museum of Ice Cream…
Their first date was at a boba shop, and then Dennis decided to show up to Jennifer’s dance class every week until she agreed to be his girlfriend. I suppose she found it endearing, because she said yes to being his girlfriend, and then said yes again to being his wife. They were wed in…
