It was such a pleasure to photograph Grace of HapaMama. She’s been following my work for a couple years thanks to our Taiwanese American connections, and I finally got to meet and photograph her last month.

If you saw my birthday party back in January, you might have fallen in love with some of the beautiful dinnerware that I rented from Lindsay’s company, Frances Lane. The She has goblets in every color imaginable, one-of-a-kind platters, and vintage plates and bowls all come together to create the prettiest tablescapes. I met up with Lindsay in…
I first met Shau-Ru and Ed when we filmed their wedding three years ago. It’s since become our tradition to photograph their anniversary portraits each year. This year, we went for a “travel” theme. Shau-Ru and Ed met me in the northwest corner of San Francisco and explored an area new to them. We were…
