    Eating through San Gabriel Valley

    At the end of our Joshua Tree trip, we went ahead and stopped by Alhambra for lunch since we had to go through LA to drop off Courtney anyway. Oh, how silly, because I would be back two days later to photograph Emily & Adithya’s wedding! But in between, I had to go back up…

    The Yau Family | Pasadena Family Portraits

    There’s so much I could say about the Yaus. I basically feel like I’m an extended part of their family. There was one point when I visited Jenny and Kevin down in LA eleven times in one year. It really felt like my second home. I’ve known Kevin since high school or college, but my…

    Cincinnati, Ohio | October, 2018

    Hello, Cincinnati! It’s been two years since I last visited the land of my middle- and high school days. Of course my relationship to this city is totally different now as an adult.

    Joshua Tree Portraits

    In mid-October, five of us got in a minivan and drove across California to head to Joshua Tree. It was the middle of a busy travel and work season for all of us, but it was so wonderfully restorative to be in the desert with these wacky looking trees and the company of these awesome…

    Say hello to baby Joseph! I headed to Cincinnati at the beginning of October to meet this little man and visit his parents. Lauren and I were best friends growing up in middle and high school, and it’s such a treat to now see her as a mom. We walked around the neighborhood even though…
