Holiday Gifts, 2022
Each year, I collect small gifts along my travels and compile them into a holiday gift set for my wedding clients. It’s my way of sharing a small part of my year with my couples when they’ve shared such an important part of theirs with me. And this year, we had the added distinction of…

2022 Year In Review

In December, we got married in a redwood grove, surrounded by our closest family. And in between, we enjoyed so many lovely moments with our friends and family: my fifteen-year business anniversary, two midwest…

50 Books in 2022

I also decided to sketch all my books on my little notebook bookshelf, in the order I read them. Below are…

Miranda & Felix | Fort Funston Engagement Photography
What an incredibly sweet and stunning session! Miranda and Felix booked me for their engagement session before finding out that they actually live just one floor above me in the same building in San Francisco. Such a small world. I absolutely loved getting to photograph them out at Fort Funston, a familiar spot to their…

Take a peek inside album below. On the cover, rose gold foil debossing on a natural luxe linen. Such classic wedding details….
