Bay Area | January & February, 2025
I’m back on the monthly recaps! We spent most of January in Asia, so I’m picking up with a combined post on both January and February in the Bay. We definitely returned from Asia with three more bags than we left with! And our first meal back was… Chipotle? Videochat catch-ups We also came back…

My Birthday with Sun Moon Studio
Returning from our month-long vacation in Asia last January, I launched right into my birthday celebration with some of my dear friends. We treated everyone to the truly outstanding dining experience at Sun Moon Studio in West Oakland. This tiny 12-seat restaurant first captured my attention when I found out that Taiwanese American chef Alan…

Angela & David | Redwood City Maternity Session
Angela’s sister Betty was the one to reach out and book this portrait session for her as a gift. Angela is an OB/GYN and is expecting her first child this winter! We were able to wander Bair Island just outside their place for some beautiful sunset portraits, and then we had a little part two…

Emily & Noah | Golden Gate Bridge Proposal
This surprise proposal took a bit of a pivot when Noah’s plans for a Napa proposal got rained out the previous weekend. Left to improvise, he got cornered into just admitting the whole plan instead.

We went back to the site of their engagement session, the Lawrence Hall of Science,…

Ali Family | Filoli Portrait Session

Such a beautiful way to mark this festive season. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work…

Chin Family | Baker Beach San Francisco
Alas, San Francisco beaches are never quite what people picture when they imagine “California beaches.” Karl the Fog was out in full force, hiding most of the Golden Gate Bridge and adding a cold chill to Baker Beach. But the Chin Family powered through and radiated their own joy and warmth. Such a fun little…

Julia & David | Bernal Heights Proposal
Not all proposals are surprises! In this case David already had to reschedule the proposal because Julia figured out the original date. When rain forecasts threatened the new date, he decided to just go ahead with it anyway. Julia was still working overtime trying to spoil the surprise, so before they even got there, she…

Garrison Family | San Jose Portrait Session
It is such a special treat to photograph friends year after year! Last time S was barely beginning to walk, and now she’s running around! We met at their neighborhood park for a lovely little session this year, marked by crispy fall leaves and the whims of a moody toddler. Anna Wu is a wedding…
