What a joy to photograph the Chang family just before Thanksgiving. Lynne, her husband, and her baby have just moved back to California to be near the rest of her family.

I’m so happy to share these images from this beautiful session with Rita and her family.

Carolyn and Cynthia perfectly balance one another, with Carolyn’s quiet ambition and grounded sense of self complementing Cynthia’s joy, energy, and charm. The two first met at their local Crossfit gym in Manhattan, and with a bit of thoughtful creativity (or light stalking), Carolyn eventually worked up an excuse for the them to hang out…
Between Denicia’s three jobs and Mark’s parenting and demanding job as a lawyer, these two might never have met were it not for the magic of modern dating apps.

Maddi and Kangway first met on a graduate school visit weekend in Urbana, Illinois, Kangway’s hometown. The chemistry (yes, that’s what they were studying) was apparent. They have since moved together to Pasadena, Boston, and now the Bay Area. They are always there for each other, nerding out on Harry Potter and superhero movies, debating…
High in the hills, overlooking Malibu, the four of us marveled at our surroundings. What a stunning place to be wed. None of us were from the area– the three of them having come from Chicago and me from the Bay Area– but so many threads had pulled together for us to be there in…

Christine and Hanlin have have known each other since high school, although it didn’t always register (to Christine) that there might be interest beyond a friendship. But their relationship developed over years of staying in touch, visiting each other in Boston and New York, and eventually, daily chats, until Hanlin worked up the courage to…
Alexandria and Tom met as juniors at UC Berkeley when they took a film class about monster movies together. They’ve lived together in Berkeley for the decade ever since.

I got to spend the first weekend of September up in Seattle thanks to Jen & Gary who flew me up for their engagement session. It was a quick but full trip. Despite meeting a crazy thunderstorm and the first rains of the season, I was armed with my new rain shell that I had…
