Baby Cerise | Redwood City Family Portraits
Congratulations to this little family on their new little cherry! It feels like only yesterday that I was photographing mom and dad for their maternity session, but Cerise, (cherry in French) has now joined in the fun. We walked around the nearby nature preserve at golden hour for some lovely portraits of the whole family….

Nicole & Brandon | Dolores Park Surprise Proposal
This was such a wonderful surprise proposal! A lot of proposal clients come to me without a fully formed plan, and that’s totally fine, because I am happy to help them figure out the details. Brandon initially picked a date and time for his proposal about a month out. But as we started chatting, it…

Maternity Session
I am so grateful to my dear friend Cassie for creating these studio portraits of us in the last couple months of my pregnancy. We stacked the day with portraits in the morning and my baby shower in the afternoon. All such wonderful markers of a very fleeting time! Photographs by Cassie Valente.Hair…

Denman Stewart Family | Santa Monica Portraits
It was so lovely to meet up with my friend and fellow photographer Lindsey while I was down in LA last year. We all headed to Santa Monica Beach, where she photographed my family, and I photographed hers. Such a beautiful bunch, and it was so wonderful to see them all again. Anna Wu is…

Minneapolis

We were following our San Francisco Giants on the road to the home of the Minneapolis Twins and checking off stadium 28 of 30 on Alex’s MLB ballpark quest. So close! Only…

Tokyo in April
What a treat it was to go back to Tokyo in April after having just been there in January. Alex went for work, so it was a bit of a last-minute trip that we hadn’t originally planned on. I invited myself along, and while he worked long hours every day, I had lots of time…

Sakura Session
We were lucky enough to visit Tokyo not once but twice this year, and we were doubly lucky to catch the tail end of cherry blossom season on the second trip. Since it was a work trip for Alex and we weren’t able to book things until the last minute, we got very lucky (again)…

Bay Area | March, 2025
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….
