Memorial Day Weekend was wonderfully spent celebrating my friend Paul’s birthday over at Lake Tahoe. But actually, I had to work both Saturday and Sunday morning, so I joined everyone else a day late and decided to solo staycation for an extra day afterwards too. Tahoe is really so lovely in the summer. See a…
My friend Connie and I headed to Sayulita, Mexico for a few days, just for kicks. She’s on summer break from law school, and I’m just always down to travel. Plus, this was my first time in Mexico! It was a fun adventure mixed with a good bit of misadventure too. Our big mistake was…
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…
Here goes part two of my Taiwan trip, this time with a few more excursions to nearby towns around Taipei, and more explorations of the city as well. Here’s part 1 if you missed it. We kick it off with a view of Taipei 101! A quick stop by the Ju Ming museum that honors…
Back to the motherland with my mother. It has been five years since my last visit to Taiwan. It felt like I was overdue for a return, so Lunar New Year was the perfect time to join my mom on her annual trip to Taipei. In the span of two weeks, we trekked all over…
I still feel rather ambivalent about the ‘instagrammable museum’ phenomenon, with galleries, installations, and exhibits designed specifically with the selfie and instagram in mind. On the one hand, I love to post these cleverly crafted images just as much as the next person, but on the other, churning people through these instagram factories seems to…
Another year has just flown by! When I think back on 2017, it’s tempting to just brush past it and conclude that it was just like the previous few years. I didn’t make any obvious life changes, and in many ways my life has settled into a pattern of photography, travels, and everyday creative…
Call me crazy or call me lucky; I drove down to Los Angeles twice in two months. The first time was to photograph Allie and David’s Redondo Beach wedding and the second was simply to attend “Second Thanksgiving” (our version of Friendsgiving). Of course lots of food and friends were involved, and I snuck in…
Happy New Year! I am so thankful for the opportunity to have spent another year doing what I love most: photographing people in love and traveling around the world! 2017 was particularly special, as I celebrated my tenth year in business. I am so grateful for all of you who have supported me and made…
For the second year, I joined Justin’s family in Atlanta for Thanksgiving! Here’s a little look at the weekend. Thank you to Samia & Everest for a delicious meal! Visiting the mall for Black Friday, of course. Our Philly friends Elica & Dan have welcomed their baby girl and moved down to Atlanta! After…
Oh, this family! What an incredible honor it is to photograph them over the years. I first photographed Raquel and Andy for their engagement session in Atlanta six years ago. Then I photographed their wedding in upstate New York, and I’ve photographed their growing family a couple more times since. I hope to continue this…
If you saw my post of the Nakao Family, you might already know the story behind my day trip to NYC. I hopped on a bus from Philadelphia, and for less than $20 I was able to get to and from New York, round trip. Here’s a little glimpse at my wanderings! First I met…
