I’ve known Joyce pretty much since she was born, since our families were friends and we grew up occasionally meeting up in random parts of Michigan for holidays together. Although our mothers are still close friends, all of us kids have only kept loose tabs on each other since, so it was such an honor…
June! The month in which everything returned, all at once. We got to start the month with our first in-person Accountability meeting since the beginning of 2020! What an incredible feeling. We even got to hug people and meet Nicole’s puppy in real life. Such beautiful bounty from Stephanie’s garden. And Courtney and her baby…
This was such a beautiful session, already two years in the making. Annsa and Arvind booked me back in 2019, and by the time they actually have their wedding, it will be three years later, in 2022. They have been incredibly thoughtful and wonderful through this crazy time, not only in the glimpses I’ve seen…
Kylen and Charlie met when Kylen was anchoring the news and Charlie was anchoring sports at a TV channel in Lexington, Kentucky. They started off as friends, but a New Year’s kiss sealed their fates as something more. They’ve now moved to California together, where they’re both anchoring sports, and we celebrated their engagement with…
The end of May was when everything started changing all of a sudden in terms of our pandemic experience here in California. Alex and I both got our second vaccines in Mid-May, just in time for us to reach full immunity prior to Memorial Day weekend, when I would be down in Big Sur for…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…
Jayleen is a Puerto Rican, queer, non-binary badass. Kailer is a proud trans man and a veteran. And in a small, rural area of Pennsylvania that doesn’t really embrace queer folks, the universe conspired to bring them together. I was honored when Jayleen and Kailer came to me with the idea of a “just because”…
Welcome to the April recap! The big task of the month was moving out of my Oakland apartment after a decade of living there! See some glimpses of our month below: Paint Club patterns drawing, part two! I made this very fun Taiwanese fruit pattern and actually printed it as fabric! I’m hoping to sew…
Back in March, we hopped in the car for a little weekend getaway to the mountains. We’re incredibly lucky to be able to just opt in to a couple days of winter when we feel like it and then return to the Bay Area where it’s spring again. Alex got to sneak in a couple…

Our neighborhood walking tours began in December 2020, borne out of pandemic restlessness and a desire to trick myself out of hibernation and into exploring my surroundings (safely) again. I researched free walking tours or assembled various articles and book chapters to make up my own background reading on various places around the San Francisco…
Elaine and Sean share a love of nature and exploring the outdoors, and they regularly go on long hikes with a nice bottle of wine in tow. After considering many possible locations for their engagement session, they set their hearts on this beautiful spot in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Park in the East Bay. The…
