I am thrilled to take you all behind the scenes of my friend Cassie’s photography mentorship, which she hosted last month in San Francisco. Cassie is not only an amazing photographer, she’s incredibly generous with and articulate about everything she’s ever learned, which makes her the perfect person to lead a mentorship group. I’m constantly…
Teresa and Steve were wed in a simple and beautiful ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. We met for a wonderful portrait session with just the two of them, and then their families joined them for their wedding. See just a few glimpses of the day below. Congratulations, Teresa & Steve! Anna Wu is…
Join me on a quick tour through my February in the Bay. Most of the month I was actually gone in Asia, but here are the little adventures I went on while I was at home. First, a little shopping through Temescal Alley with my mom. Some cute shops in Berkeley. Tiffany & Greg’s going…
Fuzzy little aliens have invaded Union Square! Not to worry, the little creatures are part of the 2019 Macy’s Flower Show. The theme is Journey to Paradisios, with lots of references to outer space and sci fi fun. I was hired to photograph the event before it officially opened on Friday, and the installations will…
I’m so incredibly proud to be a part of the Amber Collective, a community for Asian American women creatives in the Bay Area. We started this as a group of five women who are grateful to have formed community with each other and wanted to help foster that for other Asian American women as well. In…
The Pearl is a unique urban loft space in the Dogpatch, SF with soaring ceilings and a wonderful roof deck. I was happy to be on board as their photographer for the second year in a row when they held their open house last month. Take a peek at the event and all the wonderful…
We unknowingly chose the warmest day of the year so far for Alyssa and Mark’s engagement session, but we dodged the crowds to capture these beautiful sun-kissed engagement portraits. And we even got some extra local flavor in one of the shots, as you’ll see below. :) Congrats, Alyssa & Mark! Looking forward to your…
I was absolutely delighted to photograph these portfolio pieces for Shoppe Theory. They are a design studio based in both New York City (Jess) and San Francisco (Do-Hee), and like many designers had crafted so many wonderful brands throughout the year but hadn’t gotten around to photographing any of them. On a December day, Do-Hee…
It has become an annual tradition for me to curate little holiday gifts for my wedding clients and also to send out holiday cards to my friends. I absolutely love traveling and am lucky enough to take several trips a year. These gifts have become my way of sharing a bit of those travels with…
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…
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…
