I got to visit Dallas for the first time when I went to photograph Aileen and Jason’s family in the northern suburbs of the city. I am always so grateful to be working and to be traveling and of course happiest when both happen simultaneously! Here are some of the snapshots from my weekend exploring…
This has been the year of girl groups and retreats for me, and I’m so grateful for it! At the beginning of the month, a bunch of us headed to Austin for a retreat headed by Stephanie and Nikki. It was actually an extension of Stephanie’s Cocktail Collective that she normally does here in the…
Say hello to Aileen, Jason, and their adorable little boy Oliver. Aileen and Jason were so generous in bringing me to their home in McKinney, Texas to do a family portrait session for them this fall. It has been a long journey for this family to reach this point, as they discovered that Oliver had…
I’m back with another monthly recap! Here’s a look at my October in the Bay. We start it off with an accountability meeting, in which we feign being Victorian ladies who swoon instead of running businesses. Love Meg’s beautiful home! On a Thursday afternoon, Brianne and I went to the instagram-bait Museum of Ice Cream…
Their first date was at a boba shop, and then Dennis decided to show up to Jennifer’s dance class every week until she agreed to be his girlfriend. I suppose she found it endearing, because she said yes to being his girlfriend, and then said yes again to being his wife. They were wed in…
It’s such a joy to see the Kim family again after we had such a fun session last year. Say hello again to Jeong, Lianne, and their two boys, this time out for a stroll in Pacifica. Cheers! Hope to see you again next year! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in…
Elizabeth and Derek first stepped in front of my camera for their engagement session three years ago, with a little cameo from Stella the golden retriever too. Then they had a beautiful wedding at the Berkeley City Club two years ago. And now, we’ve reunited to welcome the newest member of their family, baby George….
Patty and David met while they were in graduate school at the University of Michigan. But after they started dating and once they finished each of their programs, Patty moved to New York City and David was off to Chicago. Three years and countless flights later, they finally decided to make their way over to…
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…
Tien and Jeremy’s love story is a global tale for the modern age. Jeremy is Korean but grew up in Michigan and later lived in Korea and California. Tien is Taiwanese but grew up in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Malaysia before going to college at the University of Michigan… where Jeremy also went! But they…
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…
I’ve already expounded on the joys of taking this road trip with four other bossladies and shared some of the portraits that we made out in the desert, but here’s a better look into what we did the rest of the trip. Here are some of the many orchards of central California. My go-to California…
