Karla and Bernd met through mutual friends and sparked their relationship over an evening spent talking on a San Francisco rooftop. They have, in their own words, done everything backwards. They bought a house together seven years ago, they had two beautiful children, and now they’ve decided to do the wedding thing. While they’re two…
I was just in Taiwan over Lunar New Year in February, so I had no plans to return so quickly– and in the middle of summer when the heat and humidity soar to the high 90s. However, my maternal grandmother, my last remaining grandparent, passed, and so I was grateful to have the time and…
I am so happy to share some images from Liz and Kenny’s wedding at San Francisco City Hall. These two met through a mutual friend on Instagram of all places, and after a whirlwind long distance romance moved in together in LA and eventually moved to Sacramento to buy a house. They have been together…
Let’s take a look back at March, even though it’s bittersweet because it’s filled with farewells to our friend Brianne! We kick it off with our Office of Accountability meeting, Bri’s last one before moving to Singapore. Yifan came to visit from Portland– twice! Here’s our celebration dinner after having our first-ever Amber Collective meeting! I…
For the second year in a row, I headed to Taipei in February. Growing up, I only visited my parents’ homeland once every several years, so making it an annual trip is a recent development. With winter being the slow season for work and with plane tickets being so reasonable, I figured I should seize…
It is an absolute honor to hear from my past wedding clients when they’re wanting to do a new portrait session to capture the next phase of their lives together! I photographed Katherine and Josh’s wedding in Los Altos five years ago, and they reached out this year to do a maternity session since they’re expecting…
Join me on a quick tour through my February in the Bay. Most of the month I was actually gone in Asia, but here are the little adventures I went on while I was at home. First, a little shopping through Temescal Alley with my mom. Some cute shops in Berkeley. Tiffany & Greg’s going…
This is such a special book that will join Kevin and Jenny’s collection as the fifth volume in their collection of heirloom photo books. We started with their wedding in 2010 and created albums for each anniversary: 2011, 2012, and 2013, before falling out of the habit until this past year, 2018. While I was down at…
I am so thankful for this little family and for the support they’ve shown me over the years! This is our fifth shoot together, starting from Joyce and Keven’s engagement session back in 2013. I’m thrilled to keep the tradition going. This year, we opted to do an at-home session in their beautiful Oakland house,…
Let’s take a little trip to the equator today! I was so excited to meet up with the Bermudez family over in Singapore and continue our little tradition of family portraits together. We started working together before little Harrison was born, and this adorable family has since moved to Singapore and lived there for just over…
It’s time for my first monthly recap of 2019! We rewind to the first day of the year, when I met up with family for dinner at Rivoli at the end of my solo New Year’s retreat. Opening the year with a tarot workshop with Stephanie, who created the Fleurot Deck. So thankful for our…
Here we are with the final monthly recap of 2018. It was a wonderful month on the quiet side, filled with gatherings of friends and family and lots of time at home finishing up my work for the year. First, a gorgeous sunset scene from the Marin Headlands. A little lunch break in the middle…
