Ukiah Retreat
The first week of March, six of us hopped into two cars and drove north for a two-night retreat in Ukiah. It’s only been two weeks since this trip, but of course our realities have shifted completely since then. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support of our Office of Accountability community in these uncertain…

Bay Area Adventures | February, 2020
What a strange reality we’ve stepped into. Looking back just one month is like looking at a completely different world. But here goes: my monthly recap of February, a.k.a. pre-Covid19 life.

Lynch Family | San Jose Family Portraits
It was such a joy and a privilege to meet up with the Lynch family to photograph them for the third time. It’s especially fun to look back on the first session and see how much the boys have grown in four years. Now the eldest is getting ready to go off to college! See…

Anna’s Birthday Gathering
It’s my annual tradition to kick off the year with a creative birthday celebration. Past celebrations include the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, a plant party, and last year’s tea party. This year? A gathering about gatherings. I was inspired by Priya Parker’s book, The Art of Gathering, to think…

Bay Area Adventures | January, 2020
It’s time for our first monthly recap of 2020! I had a wonderful January in the Bay, with the tail end of our Redwood National Park excursion in the beginning, my birthday party in the middle, and a small road trip to Monterey as well. But otherwise, I spent most of my time right here…

Yannie & Howard | Lafayette Park, San Francisco Engagement
I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…
