I’m back with another monthly recap! Here’s a look at my October in the Bay. We start it off with an accountability meeting, in which we feign being Victorian ladies who swoon instead of running businesses. Love Meg’s beautiful home! On a Thursday afternoon, Brianne and I went to the instagram-bait Museum of Ice Cream…
It’s time for another month’s recap! We start off with my third viewing of Crazy Rich Asians, this time with Tiffany, Greg, Dan, and Jeri down in San Mateo. We decided to check out Wursthall before the movie. And then ice cream sandwiches from Cream as a pre-movie treat. Our September Office of Accountability Meeting….
Let’s take a look back at May! I scouted a bunch more locations for my “100 Bay Area Gems” project, gathered with friends, and went to the Asian Art Museum three times in one week. Here we go! Office of Accountability getting wild as we gathered at my studio to share our goals for the…
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…

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the February 28 (228) Massacre in Taiwan. Tens of thousands were murdered by the Nationalist government that had fled China and taken over rule in Taiwan, and martial law was imposed for 40 years thereafter. Incredibly, Taiwan has since become a vibrant democracy fighting the continued battles of defending civil rights for its…
It was three years ago that I met up with Joyce and Keven for their engagement session on the Berkeley campus where they had first met and fallen in love. Later that year, they were wed in a beautiful Nestldown wedding. And now we were back at Berkeley for the next chapter in their love…
When Elizabeth and Derek met at a college party, they hit it off immediately. She loves rugby. He plays rugby. He is a total film nerd. She was a film major. They also discovered a shared love of books, Berkeley, history, and architecture. So when it came time to be wed, there was no more perfect spot…
Whitney and Matt’s love story began seven years ago when they met in college and immediately became inseparable. In 2013, on a beautiful day at sunset, Matt proposed to Whitney at the Lawrence Hall of Science, overlooking Berkeley, Oakland, and the entire Bay. Shortly after they were engaged, Whitney contacted me about engagement and wedding photography,…
Here’s a glimpse at another beautiful wedding album! Stephanie and Ian were wed at the Berkeley City Club and had beautiful art deco details in their decor that went perfectly with this Tiffany blue album cover. I always love a clean, timeless layout. No overlays or crazy borders; just beautiful images on a white background….
