I am thrilled to take you all behind the scenes of my friend Cassie’s photography mentorship, which she hosted last month in San Francisco. Cassie is not only an amazing photographer, she’s incredibly generous with and articulate about everything she’s ever learned, which makes her the perfect person to lead a mentorship group. I’m constantly…
Fuzzy little aliens have invaded Union Square! Not to worry, the little creatures are part of the 2019 Macy’s Flower Show. The theme is Journey to Paradisios, with lots of references to outer space and sci fi fun. I was hired to photograph the event before it officially opened on Friday, and the installations will…
This is such a special book that will join Kevin and Jenny’s collection as the fifth volume in their collection of heirloom photo books. We started with their wedding in 2010 and created albums for each anniversary: 2011, 2012, and 2013, before falling out of the habit until this past year, 2018. While I was down at…
I love Emily and Adithya’s albums with their elegant, light grey covers and that beautiful gold debossing! I would put a little gold foil on everything, if I had my way. They opted for one medium 10×10″ album, along with two mini 6×6″s for each of their parents. Such a beautiful looking trio! I…
I’m so incredibly proud to be a part of the Amber Collective, a community for Asian American women creatives in the Bay Area. We started this as a group of five women who are grateful to have formed community with each other and wanted to help foster that for other Asian American women as well. In…
The Pearl is a unique urban loft space in the Dogpatch, SF with soaring ceilings and a wonderful roof deck. I was happy to be on board as their photographer for the second year in a row when they held their open house last month. Take a peek at the event and all the wonderful…
I’m delighted to share a beautiful trio of albums today from Tien and Jeremy’s Mill Valley wedding. They opted for a turquoise silk cover on their medium 10×10″ book and two minis for their parent albums. I love the subtle texture of these silks! Here’s a peek at just a few of the spreads inside….
Happy mail day! I was delighted to receive all eight of these eagerly awaited albums yesterday, so I of course gathered them together for a quick group photo. I’ll be sharing more about the other two sets of albums in the next few weeks, but today I’m delighted to share Emily and Nicholas’ beautiful albums…
I always love seeing clients’ images presented in these beautiful heirloom albums. You may remember Stephanie and Ben’s fun wedding anniversary party with goats and llamas and everything. We created a simple book with the perfect ‘desert’ luxe linen cover to show off some of their favorite photographs for years to come! See a few…
After two years of reading not quite as much, I dove back in in 2018, and I read 31 books by the end of the year. My three-year-old Kindle is still serving me well, and I checked out every single one of these books as ebooks from the library– for free! My strategy is to…
For the second year now, I’ve recorded a second of video to represent every day of the year. As a compulsive documenter of life, this has been such a wonderful project and a really different and fun way to look back (in addition to all the photographs, the social media, the blogging, and the painting…
The finale of Anna and Amy’s Arizona Adventures is here! And it’s Scottsdale, the city we actually stayed in all three nights. We kick it off with some explorations of Scottsdale on Thursday night. First, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA). Here’s a James Turrell skyspace similar to the one you can find at…
