Caterina & John | Naval Blue Leather Wedding Album
I just love getting these leather wedding albums when they arrive in the mail. They are just so beautifully crafted, and I can imagine generations down the line leafing through these pages of their parents’ or their grandparents’ love story. Caterina and John chose a beautiful navy blue color for their album, and of course…

Cindy & Tran | Sunset at Lake Merritt | Oakland Portrait Photography
When my friend Howard gifted this portrait session to his sister, I was first surprised to learn that he had a sister and then surprised to learn that she lives right here in Oakland, no more than five minutes from me! It took quite a while to schedule the shoot with Cindy and her boyfriend…

Best of 2013: Travels, Food, and Books

A Day in Sausalito
When you head out of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving northward under the iconic International Orange towers, you cross into a decidedly different peninsula. The first stretch is undeveloped hills, and then through a tunnel and off to the right, you can visit the town of Sausalito, a posh little area lined…
