Hello May! We begin with the Office of Accountability’s monthly meeting, this time in person at Lindsey’s. Two symphony date nights in a row! We stopped by Teakwood for delicious Burmese food before Wizard of Oz. The symphony plays the whole soundtrack to the classic movie starring Judy Garland. The next day, the symphony played…
Here is a look back at our jam-packed month of April. We also visited Florida this month, but otherwise we were busy having adventures all around the Bay. First, Thai food for date night in the city. Vince, Alex, and I made the pilgrimage to Russian River Brewing Co. up in Healdsburg to wait in…

I started my Taiwanese American Cookbook Club this year as a way to celebrate and explore all of the Taiwanese American cookbooks that have come out in the last few years. A cookbook club is a potluck, where all attendees make and bring a dish from the featured cookbook. For our third cookbook club, we…
It’s time for our March recap! A month in which we had our second cookbook club; a camping trip in Pinnacles; and a surprise getaway to Stinson Beach. But it all began with a rainy day trek to the Oakland Museum of California’s White Elephant Sale. I picked up this set of four candlestick holders….
I may be a little biased, but I think photography sessions make for the absolute best gifts! This mama was gifted her newborn session from her sister. It was so wonderful to meet and photograph Baby S exactly one month after her birthday. Here are a few of my favorites of this sweet little family….
I have been delighted to see the growing number of Taiwanese cookbooks published in recent years. Although I was happy to support the authors by simply buying the cookbooks and having them decorate my kitchen shelf, I wanted to actually enjoy the cookbooks as not just books but as the dishes contained within! And so,…
February included a big cookbook club dinner for Lunar New Year; a whole trip to New Mexico; and of course plenty of adventures right here at home. I made lots of progress on my custom San Francisco-themed mahjong set, finishing up the painting phase. Cassie and I visited the White Elephant Sale benefiting the Oakland…
Happy 100th Birthday to this wonderful great-grandma! What an honor to photograph four generations of the Kong family in this fun little redwood grove session. Grandmother and grandson. A special bond. One hundred years old, and still so spry! Love. This popped bubble scene was so perfectly lit, it almost looks ai generated, but…
I have been photographing Allie and David for seven years now, for their engagement session, wedding, and their maternity session for little J. I was so delighted to photograph them again, this time as they are expeting baby #2! We enjoyed a very sunny morning at Filoli, wandering the extensive gardens that were in full…
We seem to have reached a golden age of Taiwanese American cookbooks in the last few years. I can remember learning to cook in the first few years after graduating from college and not having many places to turn when trying to conjure many of the dishes from my childhood. I tried to ask my…
On a beautifully sunny day, in the middle of the city that Fima and Noah called home, they formalized their vows, signing their San Francisco marriage license as well as their Jewish marriage license, the ketubah, as their family members contributed their blessings to the couple. They had managed to meet at the onset of…
