Bay Area | March, 2024
It’s time for our March recap! A month in which we had our second cookbook club; a camping trip in Pinnacles; and a surprise getaway to Stinson Beach. But it all began with a rainy day trek to the Oakland Museum of California’s White Elephant Sale. I picked up this set of four candlestick holders….

Kong Family | Los Altos Portraits
Happy 100th Birthday to this wonderful great-grandma! What an honor to photograph four generations of the Kong family in this fun little redwood grove session. Grandmother and grandson. A special bond. One hundred years old, and still so spry! Love. This popped bubble scene was so perfectly lit, it almost looks ai generated, but…
