One of the first things I learned about Evangel and Edwin was how incredibly important the Coast Guard is in their lives, and soon after, I also learned how important their families are to them. Evangel grew up a child of the Coast Guard, with her father serving throughout her childhood. And Edwin is in…
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 am so thankful for this little family and for the support they’ve shown me over the years! This is our fifth shoot together, starting from Joyce and Keven’s engagement session back in 2013. I’m thrilled to keep the tradition going. This year, we opted to do an at-home session in their beautiful Oakland house,…
Just a gorgeous woman in her cute white romper, plus or minus a hat or two. Simple ingredients for this fun and beautiful boudoir session. I love her laugh. And those fun shadows! Afterwards, we turned the session into a little black book, which she gifted to her husband for Valentine’s Day. There’s such…
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…
Let’s take a little trip to the equator today! I was so excited to meet up with the Bermudez family over in Singapore and continue our little tradition of family portraits together. We started working together before little Harrison was born, and this adorable family has since moved to Singapore and lived there for just over…
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….
We unknowingly chose the warmest day of the year so far for Alyssa and Mark’s engagement session, but we dodged the crowds to capture these beautiful sun-kissed engagement portraits. And we even got some extra local flavor in one of the shots, as you’ll see below. :) Congrats, Alyssa & Mark! Looking forward to your…
Over the last few years, it has become a tradition for me to throw creative parties for my birthday each January. If you’ve known me for a while, you might remember past celebrations, including the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, and last year’s plant party. This year, my idea started…
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…
This session came together in a matter of days. Misoo and Damien live in New York, but with Misoo visiting home for the new year and Damien in town for work, we embraced the gorgeous California coast for a sunset session. The gorgeous couple, stunning light, and beautiful scenery all came together to make magic….
