    Black Diamond Alpacas

    ALPACAS! Squee! I have this thing with alpacas. They are funny looking and wonderful, and ever since spotting some in New Zealand, I’ve been seeing them everywhere. (Or partly seeking them out everywhere.) When one of my clients told about Black Diamond Alpacas in Brentwood, about an hour east of Oakland, I knew I had to make a trip….

    Pauline & Justin | San Francisco Wedding Photography

    Pauline and Justin were wed on a beautifully sunny day in San Francisco, surrounded by family and friends. The day was an absolutely perfect blend of tears (25%) and laughter (75%), as this East Coast transplant and San Francisco native tied the knot. Loved the pink and coral mix-and-match bridesmaids’ dresses. They coordinated so perfectly! And…

    Cincinnati | Summer, 2016

    I’m thrilled to share these two back-to-back trips to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. First I went back in August to attend my friend Lauren’s wedding (as a guest!), and then I returned in September to photograph my friend Alice’s wedding. See it all below! My friend Lauren was wed in this beautiful Catholic Church…

    Miles Turns One | Bay Area Family Photography

    This was such a sweet family session! Baby Miles just turned one, and we did a little portrait session and cake smash to commemorate the occasion. He wasn’t so into the cake (way more fascinated by the balloon), but it was still so fun! Happy first Birthday, Miles! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…

  • 12 Hours in Boston

    12 Hours in Boston

    This was a super quick visit to Boston. We drove about seven hours from Buffalo, since Justin had to be in Cambridge for work on Monday. We arrived in Cambridge around 2am and left again that evening to drive another five hours back to Philadelphia. Whirlwind trip, but still wonderful for me anyway! While Justin was at work,…

    Buffalo, NY

    It took eight hours, but I drove from Philadelphia to Buffalo in order to photograph Amber and Ben’s wedding at Ben’s childhood home. Justin joined me the second day, and we got to explore a bit of Buffalo, visit Cat and her family, and even stop by Niagara Falls before driving another seven hours to Boston to…

    Annapolis

    One weekend in July, four of us (Colman, Amaris, Justin, and I) hopped in the car from Philly for a quick weekend getaway to Annapolis. We wandered the main street (literally Main St.), went stand-up paddleboarding, visited the Naval Academy, and somewhat reluctantly but somewhat enthusiastically joined the hoards of Pokemon players on the street. All in all, a great little one-night…

    San Francisco Bay Area | Summer, 2016

      Summer in the Bay! And more art-filled adventures. Here is just a glimpse of what June and July looked like for me.   I got back to the Bay just in time for the Bay Area Book Festival in Berkeley featuring a whole panel on Taiwan. Author Shawna Yang Ryan signs some books, while…

  • Los Angeles Art Adventures

    Los Angeles Art Adventures

    For the two days after Ellie’s birthday, I wandered around Los Angeles having little art adventures. I visited two of the MOCA museums (there are 4 locations total); The Broad; the brand new Skyslide 70 floors in the air; and a couple cute shops too. We kick it off with the MOCA Geffen by Little Tokyo.  …
