Chariya and Dimartin both grew up in the Bay Area, loosely connected to each other through their Cambodian families. It was years before they connected more directly and began a chat conversation that never ended. Though they now live together in Los Angeles, they opted to return to San Francsico for a beautiful City Hall…
Anna and Tim met nearly a decade ago as engineering students at Purdue, their paths crossing many times before they ever struck up a relationship, right at the end of their senior year. After graduation, they both found themselves in Anna’s home state of Texas, and they settled into the trenches while Tim completed his…

SFMOMA Followed by dinner at Ippudo. Run club, training for our 10k. Photographing for Cassie at her Chase Center wedding. West Coast Craft. Dinner at Dough Zone…
I’m so honored to be asked to photograph my friends’ families! It was lovely to see Kelly and catch up with her after a long time in pandemic isolation. It was my first time meeting little K, and he’s already getting ready to be a big brother in the coming year! We wandered over to…
It was such an honor to photograph the Yee Lo family, my dear friends and master portrait photographers themselves, for their first official portraits as a family of four. We ventured out to Fort Funston for some foggy fun. I’m simply delighted to see my friends as new parents and to be able to document…
October recap! Orange October – playoff baseball for the Giants; a day trip to Guerneville for work; meeting Baby Westy; and the Warriors at Chase Center. Plus more! First, a teeny home project: I added a hook for my hanging plant so that it doesn’t just have to hang from the door any more. The…
It was so lovely to meet the Panjwani Family for this San Francisco portrait session. Grandpa and Grandma had just arrived the night before, and they were joined by the two girls, the older of of whom was a very cooperative model for the camera and the younger who is a pandemic baby and (understandably)…
Alex and I are lucky enough to have not only our primary residence in San Francisco but also a second home in Cupertino, which is really his parents’ property from when he went to school here. We have really enjoyed not only just the privilege of having two homes, but also the joy of both…
What a special treat to meet one-month-old Baby G and his very sweet big sister, M the goldendoodle! Here are a few of my favorites from their at-home session. Please excuse the star stickers hiding baby’s face for privacy! I promise he is very adorable and handsome under there. Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Having already made it through over a year of pandemic postponements for this wedding, an atmospheric river of earlier-than-usual rain wasn’t going to put a damper on this wedding day. The original 2020 plan was for a church wedding followed by a Chinese banquet, but that was reimagined into a beautiful little ceremony in the…
It’s time for the September recap! We began the month with our accountability meeting, this time at Cassie’s house. With Do-Hee joining online. Dinner with Alex at Nari in Japantown. We visited pre-pandemic but wanted to come support it again. They now have a prix fixe menu, which we opted for. So delicious! Maybe a…
I love getting to see Candace and Derek’s wedding celebrations, which spanned two different years thanks to the pandemic, in this final form as beautiful wedding albums. They chose a gorgeous dusty blue leather cover, and the main album was debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy. In addition to the medium sized book,…
