    Thanksgiving in Cincinnati | Ohio Travel Photography

    From one holiday to another, here’s a glimpse back at my Thanksgiving week spent in Cincinnati, Ohio. Homemade mixed berry tarts with almond filling!

  • Around the Bay | San Francisco Bay Area

    Around the Bay | San Francisco Bay Area

    We stood facing the sunset with the soothing sounds of the ocean crashing against a coastline lit up in vibrant hues. It was everything I loved most about the California Coast: our strange but beautiful sense of the seasons (autumn at the end of November); the color tinting our succulents rather than deciduous trees; the…

    May Your Holidays Be Warm & Bright

    Here in California we might not get the snowy winters of my childhood in Michigan, but the holiday season is still a wonderful time to snuggle up with the ones you love and enjoy a warm treat while reflecting on the year. It was a lot of fun making my little snowflake marshmallows and putting…

    A Day in Sausalito

    When you head out of San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge, driving northward under the iconic International Orange towers, you cross into a decidedly different peninsula. The first stretch is undeveloped hills, and then through a tunnel and off to the right, you can visit the town of Sausalito, a posh little area lined…

  • San Francisco Staycation

    San Francisco Staycation

    I am often guilty of taking tons of photos when I travel elsewhere but totally neglecting my own beautiful surroundings when I’m back in California. The solution? A hearty dose of staycation (vacationing at home!). My boyfriend Jesse was coming to San Francisco for a business conference, just as he did last year (when we…

    Gemma & Kevin | Leather Wedding Album

    I absolutely love seeing weddings in print form, and these heirloom leather albums are the perfect way to capture the story for generations to come. Gemma and Kevin’s album is a lovely “coffee bean” leather in an 8×8″ size. In the leaves, amongst the leaves. Each book is expertly crafted with bindings that will last…

For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
