Sophia is brilliant, talks a mile a minute, remembers everyone she’s ever met, is busy saving the world, and salsa dances in her free time. It’s very difficult to keep up with her, but somehow she’s met her match in Terrence. He’s the doctor to her (former) lawyer, completely social media-less while Sophia is compulsively…
Jessica and Andrew were certain about marrying each other, but they weren’t so sure they wanted a wedding. They thought they might just go to City Hall and get married. But their families convinced them to put together this little backyard celebration instead. And it was indeed still lovely, simple, and filled with their closest…
You might remember S & H from their elopement back in April. They weren’t originally planning to have a whole wedding reception, but with the encouragement of their families, they decided to throw a little shindig, complete with a bubbles show, taco truck, and sundae bar, all at their family brewery in Rancho Cordova. We…
Julianne is a wonderful makeup artist whom I’ve loved working with over the years. I was thrilled to meet up with her for some family portraits with her boyfriend Dan, his kids, and their two adorable rescue pups Samson (the loveable big guy) and Holly Golightly (the slightly neurotic but wonderful little one). Such a…
Five kids under the age of six? Sure! No problem. Don’t worry, they are not all from one set of parents. I met up with all these wonderful Lees for family portraits with grandma, the three Lee siblings, and each of their families! Here is the core family of Lee siblings and their mom. And…
It’s such a joy to have my wedding couples return for portraits in the years after the wedding day. I was so happy to have Shelley and Anthony meet me in my studio for some family portraits, including both sets of parents and the newest little member of the family, Cameron. Congratulations to you all!…
Here goes part two of my Taiwan trip, this time with a few more excursions to nearby towns around Taipei, and more explorations of the city as well. Here’s part 1 if you missed it. We kick it off with a view of Taipei 101! A quick stop by the Ju Ming museum that honors…
Back to the motherland with my mother. It has been five years since my last visit to Taiwan. It felt like I was overdue for a return, so Lunar New Year was the perfect time to join my mom on her annual trip to Taipei. In the span of two weeks, we trekked all over…
It was so fun to meet up with Joyce and Keven for their family portraits, especially since I’ve photographed Joyce and Keven for their engagement, wedding, and maternity sessions, and now the two of them have become a family of three! We walked around Lake Merritt in Oakland and caught the best golden hour light…
What an joy to photograph the Sandhu family at their home in Hayward last week. I was honored when Gurkirpal contacted me wanting to capture some portraits of his family in honor of his wife and his 31st anniversary and his mother’s 91st year of life. I met them at their beautiful home in Hayward,…
Oh, this family! What an incredible honor it is to photograph them over the years. I first photographed Raquel and Andy for their engagement session in Atlanta six years ago. Then I photographed their wedding in upstate New York, and I’ve photographed their growing family a couple more times since. I hope to continue this…
What a joy to meet up with the Bermudez family for a new round of holiday portraits! You might recognize them from their beautiful holiday cards last year, but back then, the littlest member of the family was still in Shannon’s belly. Well, now they’re a family of four! And since they’re about to embark…
