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…
My first wedding shoot of 2014 was a fake wedding! I joined my friends on set for their movie Love Arcadia, and I documented some of the awesome behind the scenes moments you can see in this blog post. But since we were filming a fake wedding, I also grabbed the “bride” and “groom” for…
Picture is up! Camera? Speed. Sound? Speed. Mark it. A Marker. ACTION! On the last day of January, we got up before the sun and headed to the gorgeous Langham Huntington in Pasadena. Call time was 7:30am, and this was day 15 of shooting for Love Arcadia. My friend Theresa had been working on this…

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…

I absolutely love my personal project for 2014, Art for Art. Once a month, I find a fellow photographer whose work I admire, and I photograph them; they photograph me. We’ll get to see each other work; we’ll explore how different or similar our styles might be; and we can challenge ourselves to step in front of…
