Rebecca is one of the smartest yet humblest people that I know. We were friends from college, and then we were roommates my first two years living in California. It was autumn in our first year as roommates when Rebecca first met Dave, and they clicked immediately. What could have been a brief first date stretched…
Tracy was at Golden Gate Park one day with her dog Charlie, when Charlie decided to step in and play the role of matchmaker. Kyle struck up a conversation about the pup, and months later, he and Tracy were having their first date at La Mar on Embarcadero. Tracy and Kyle now live together in…
Chhay plotted this proposal months in advance. He knew that Li loves flash mob proposals, and so he set out to craft the perfect flash mob, just for her. Friends flew in from all over the country and even Canada, and they had all individually learned the dance routine via a secret tutorial video. Two…
We walked amidst giants. The trees towered over us, scenting the air with that distinctive redwood smell. We breathed it in, grateful for this salubrious excursion outside the city. It was the perfect Presidents’ Day adventure with three of my friends, all newcomers to San Francisco. We kick it off with some images from the…

Many thanks go to my friends and to my boyfriend for celebrating my birthday with me. Jesse flew in for a few days, escaping the snow in New York and trading it in for some sunny California adventures instead. Our first meal: Roka Akor, a Japanese robataya house. We got seated at the bar, right…
Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend Jesse for these lovely bouquets! He had the purple bouquet delivered to my door via FTD, and then surprised me with a second arrangement that was waiting for me at my office, which also happens to be a florist’s shop! Gorgeous, no? =) Anna Wu is a wedding a…

When my friend Howard gifted this portrait session to his sister, I was first surprised to learn that he had a sister and then surprised to learn that she lives right here in Oakland, no more than five minutes from me! It took quite a while to schedule the shoot with Cindy and her boyfriend…
