Bay Area | June, 2024
Lo and behold, it’s the June recap! I am catching up on my personal posts, at least for now. June was a packed month, with lots of hiking, a vegan edition of our Taiwanese American Cookbook Club, the completion of my eight month-long project making a custom mahjong set, and lots more, as shown below….

Hand Carved San Francisco Mahjong Set
It was only a year ago that I started playing mahjong with my friends, but it quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. We loved not only teaching various friends and playing the game itself (it’s actually quite simple to get started) but also collecting various mahjong sets. Alex and I found ourselves scouring vintage…

Kelly & Jeff | Windy Hill Preserve Engagement
Jeff had proposed to Kelly atop this very hill, so we decided to return to the special spot, atop the Windy Hill Preserve for their engagement session. It turned out that Windy Hill was aptly named, as it was indeed very, very windy. But we were treated to the most beautiful golden hour and a…

Bay Area | May, 2024

We stopped by Teakwood for delicious Burmese food before Wizard of Oz. The symphony plays the whole soundtrack to the classic movie starring Judy Garland. The next day, the symphony played…

Jennifer & Gary | Marin Headlands Maternity Portraits
It is such an honor to be invited back into my clients lives as they move through new chapters in their lives together. I first photographed Jen and Gary for their engagement session five years ago when we drove two hours north of Seattle for the beautiful coastal scenery. They have since gotten married and…

Taiwan Day
I was very excited to participate in two different Taiwanese celebrations in May. First, the Taiwanese American Cultural Festival in San Francisco, and second, Taiwan Day with the Oakland A’s. The Taiwanese American Cultural Festival happens in San Francisco’s Union Square on one Saturday each May. I can still remember the first time I saw…
