Vivian and Dru were married in their back yard during the pandemic, but they never had professional photos to commemorate their engagement or their wedding. So we made up for it by hiking up Bernal Heights one evening with their pup in tow. The fog pulled over the city like a blanket, and the wind…
I had the best time with these two California natives, wandering around their neighborhood at golden hour and capturing their joyous laughter, up and down the hills of Potrero Hill. See a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco, California. She combines a “fine art” aesthetic, with…
A couple months ago, my dear friend Do-Hee hired me to photograph some portraits for her brother Shawn, who just graduated from medical school. Despite the global pandemic, or perhaps even more so because of it, we’re all being asked to celebrate our wins and mark special moments in whatever safe, thoughtful, creative ways we…
Let’s take a look back at October: a month filled with delicious meals, lovely gatherings, and a pumpkin patch! First off, I had a meeting with a team at Pinterest! Here’s a view of SF from their roof deck. Working on my Pinfluencer ambitions… Dinner at Besharam. I got to host this month’s Office of…
The months just keep flying by. It’s time for a recap of September! We start with a business meeting / friends’ outing! First I met with Dan and Jeri for brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen Dimond District in Oakland… we’ve officially booked their wedding for 2020! And then we headed to Alameda for a visit…
I met J & D for their engagement session on a blustery day when Karl the Fog was out in full force. But they were such good sports, and they braved the wind for these beautiful portraits at Baker Beach and Crissy Field, a classic San Francisco session. See a few of my favorites below:…
I adored working with Emily and Adithya for their Downtown Los Angeles engagement session. Adithya is currently living in Sacramento for the year while Emily lives in LA, so coordinating this shoot took a little bit of doing, especially when the original date we had set for last month ended up pouring rain and also…
What a joy to meet up with the Bermudez family for a new round of holiday portraits! You might recognize them from their beautiful holiday cards last year, but back then, the littlest member of the family was still in Shannon’s belly. Well, now they’re a family of four! And since they’re about to embark…
I love a good summertime jaunt to the windy city. This Chicago trip I got to attend a wedding; photograph an engagement; check out two art museums; and hang out with old friends, three of whom also just happened to be in town for unrelated reasons that weekend. See some favorite snapshots below. Some friends brought…
More Philly adventures! I was back in Philly again this month, hanging out with Justin and exploring the city. Here is an assortment of snapshots from around town. To kick it off, the Free Library of Philadelphia. I went in search of a book on Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” exhibit that toured the country…
Sabrina and Brian first met when they were in Boston and New York, and for past year, they both lived on the Upper West Side together until they got engaged and decided to make the move out to California. It was so much fun to go from meeting with them in San Francisco to roaming around NYC…
Rooftop views, summer pop-ups, cute restaurants, and lots of awesome art installations. Summertime in Philly. Gorgeous views over the city from Le Bok Fin, a temporary pop-up at the former technical school. I made a half-hearted attempt to get a pizza from Pizzeria Beddia, which was recently crowned the Best Pizza in America by Bon…
