I headed to Vancouver with my mom and other family members in order to attend my cousin Teh’s wedding. In fact, this was the first time I’ve ever been the family at a wedding, not the photographer or a friend. It was a quick couple of days in Vancouver, and since I’ve already visited a…
I was in the Bay Area for most of December (minus a week in LA), so of course I indulged in the time at home by making things, seeing friends, and also preparing for Tiffany and Greg’s New Year’s Eve wedding! See some of my highlights below. And if you’re curious about my full 2017…
November! What a joyful month filled with wonderful gatherings with different groups of friends and the warmest sense of community. We start with a peek inside Brothers and Sisters, an adorable flower shop in Oakland. The Aesthetic Union, a shop next door to Tartine Manufactory. Sun and Elliot and their new baby boy visit San…
I was in town for ten days of the tenth month this year! And in that time, I packed in some wonderful gatherings with friends, one last walking tour, and another craft day! We kick it off with a wonderful low-country boil at Cassie and Michael’s place. Shrimp! Sausages! Corn! Love it all and ate…
I was actually in town for the entire month of September! And I have the photos to show for it in this very packed post! Continuing previous themes, I went on a bunch of Oakland walking tours, held a craft day, attended a beautiful wedding ceremony, and checked out a bunch of museums and gardens. Let’s jump…
New York City for a weekend packed with shoots, friends, and good eats. See some snaps below. Chelsea Market and a cute little boutique nearby. I don’t know, wall. What are we going to do? Food + art with Dom and Charinee. Frank Lloyd Wright retrospective at MOMA. Credit to Justin for this one: Our…
Here’s a little glimpse of my June in the Bay: a craft night, a victory parade, a garden party, and a pile of rugs! First up, craft night at Do-Hee’s studio (which has since been sold, so she’s looking for a new space!) We all brought our own crafts to work on. Nicole’s was macrame! Kayla…
Welcome to my adventures in Philadelphia from last month! In which we try lots of great restaurants, we go on a Manayunk food tour, and I make a quick visit to a bunch of art museums. First off, my hundred-day watercolor project is still going strong! See more on my instagram @makelearndo. Two thumbs up…
Flowerland is truly as it sounds, a wonderland filled with plants of all kinds, and all adorably presented. It’s located in Albany, near Berkeley, and I headed there with my friend Pam for a mid-week watercolor date. This leaf already looks like real-life watercolors. Pam and I each picked a plant to bring over to…
Soon after I returned from Amsterdam, I headed three hours north of San Francisco for a little overnight retreat with some friends. My friend Eileen is a photographer and a scout for Hipcamp, which is kind of like Airbnb but for campsites and outdoor-oriented stays. So she invited a group of us along to turn her…
Everyday adventures around the Bay, from April to May! Open Studios in the Mission. This last little one is my watercolor kit! Happy Birthday, Tiffany! New ramen spot in Soma. Silly creative entrepreneur friends. Kev, Jenny and Ellie visit the Bay! At Tartine Manufactory. Randomly ran into Holly at Boba Guys! The next day, after Cheese…
One and a half hours northeast of San Francisco, tucked away in an expanse of open fields, is an adorable inn and barn that serves as the perfect little wedding venue: Park Winters. My friend Tiffany will be getting married there later this year (and I will be photographing it). This spring, Park Winters opened…
