Healdsburg is one of our favorite places to visit. Since Alex and I are members at Reeve, we visit at least quarterly to go pick up our wines. Since Healdsburg is only about an hour and a half north of San Francisco, we usually do it as just a day trip. But this time, we…
April recap! The month started off in Los Alamos & Ojai. Here are some of the Ojai pixies that we brought back from the farmer’s market there. Book club discussing Burnout by the Nagoski sisters. Office of Accountability meeting in Steph’s back yard and remote! Sunny day meetup with Do-Hee. And scouting out a studio…
Arianna and Simon met their first semester in college and have been together ever since. We headed up the mountain to Mt. Tamalpais for their golden windswept engagement session. See a few favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. She creates beautiful, soft, and timeless imagery while capturing…
Neera and Jeff live in Salt Lake City, but they were back in the Bay Area visiting Neera’s family and planning for their upcoming multi-day wedding celebrations here in California, and we were able to squeeze in their engagement session at Land’s End, right after some late-season rain storms. Such a beautiful, if windy, day….
I had the best time roaming around Stanford’s campus and visiting The Dish with M & D on a beautifully sunny day. You’d think that after fourteen years living in the Bay Area and working as a photographer I would have visited the Stanford Dish at least a handful of times for photo sessions or…
May recap! Starting with a lovely sushi dinner at Nara. Lots of bread projects this month from the Mooncakes and Milkbread cookbook by Kristina Cho. Red bean buns! Back on that gel nail polish train. Sunnyvale Farmer’s Market, followed by a french dip sandwich from Adamson’s. Miso corn buns! And dinner at Ramen Nagi, which…
We ventured out on a wonderful Southern California road trip last month, with Ojai as the ultimate destination. But of course, as with the best road trips, we made plenty of other stops along the way as well, including a two-night stay in Los Alamos. First up, a stop for lunch in Paso Robles, which…
Were it not for Alex, who spotted the Skyview Los Alamos boutique motel on a previous road trip to Southern California, I may have never found about this town’s existence. I certainly had never heard of a Los Alamos in California, knowing only of its counterpart in New Mexico, which is famous for being the…
It was so fun to be reunited with this family, nine years after I last photographed them in Ojai. I have known Aaron since my teaching days in Oakland, and I have photographed his family four times prior to this, dating back to 2010. This time we were also joined by his sister’s family and…
February recap! We started off the month with a 5k/10k race and wrapped it up with a Reno/Tahoe trip. Below are those highlights and everything between! Office of Accountability monthly meeting. Run training. And running the Kaiser Permanente race in Golden Gate Park! Post-run dim sum at Dragon Beaux. Dinner at Piccino, and a massage…
Springtime at Stanford! It’s been years since I’ve photographed on the Stanford campus, and it was such a delight to be back. Jenny and Jun are both PhD students at Stanford, but they have actually been classmates ever since middle school. Glimpse some of my favorite portraits from their engagement session below! Anna Wu…
Ski week! In February, Alex and I headed east for a long weekend in the mountains. He went snowboarding two of the days, while I found plenty of other ways to entertain myself, since I can ski but I don’t love it nearly as much as Alex does. We stayed in Reno, Nevada, which I had…
