2011 was filled with the most amazing couples. I got to shoot engagement sessions in New York, Atlanta, Seattle, and of course all over the Bay Area. I photographed a surprise proposal on the beach, a really disgusting (or is it cute?) gum wall, and even a baby pig! You can see it all for yourself below….

Have you ever felt so passionate about something it makes your heart beat a little faster, turns interest into obsession? Have you ever been so excited to work on a project, it just feels like something deep within your soul is wanting to leap right out of you? If you’re a photographer, an artist, anyone…
Eugene is not only a great harpsichordist but he also restores the beautiful old instruments for fun. Plus, it turns out he’s quite the natural model too. Multitalented and handsome. Here are some of his portraits from our headshot session in Fremont:
She might not be able to walk without wobbling all over the place, but she’s smart as a whip! Little Sarah reads entire books and answers all sorts of questions, from “what sound does a monkey make?” to “who is the president?” (both answers are really adorable, by the way). It was a sunny Monday…
This is an anniversary shoot. It’s also a story of love and family and Thanksgiving. It was just over a year ago that we were all gathered in Southern California for Jenny and Kevin’s beautiful wedding. I was their official photographer, and we were also there with our brand new videography company Seaglass Cinema, which…
They first met at summer camp in the Bay Area when Anny had just graduated from high school and John had been a long time counselor. Afterwards, they became friends and hung out a lot during Anny’s years at the University of California Berkeley, but it wasn’t until they parted ways, with Anny in optometry…
It was almost exactly two years ago that I first posted this very adorable session of Cami & Eric at Lake Merritt in Oakland. These two have been in a long distance relationship for the last three years while living in varying combinations of Oakland, Seattle, Rome, and Phoenix. It wasn’t until this past June…
It has been an absolute privilege to watch this family grow over the last couple years. I’ve known Aaron since we were partner teachers in 2008, and I’ve photographed his daughter Isla twice before. This time I came back to meet the newest member of the family, baby Miles! Precious. Even more precious. My favorite….
They met in middle school, when Fernando was just a shy boy, struck by love at first sight. Nina just remembers asking him what middle school he was attending. Of course, they eventually started dating in high school, and after being together for seven years, Fernando proposed to Nina after dinner with her family at…
She was always a bit of a wild child, a party girl. He has always been a farm boy, born and raised in the small town of Eden, New York. But when they met back in college, somehow the pieces fit. He keeps her grounded; she keeps life interesting. And at the end of the…
I don’t know who started it, calling him the godfather of Taiwanese America, but I think the title’s going to stick. Ho Chie has been involved with almost every Taiwanese American organization imaginable, and he even had a hand in creating many of them. One of his ongoing projects is TaiwaneseAmerican.org, an online portal that spotlights…
