Stephanie is a beautiful pianist studying down in Southern California. She contacted me for a portrait session because she fell in love with my ballerina series.

I connected with Lauren, the style blogger behind Shoes and Sashimi, over instagram one day. Her style epitomizes the effortless, cool California girl. She asked if I’d be interested in a collaboration, and so we met up in her hometown of Piedmont for a lovely stroll and some casual portraits around the neighborhood. For more, check…
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…

I’ve been looking forward to this lovely portrait session for almost a year since our last shoot together. Shau-Ru and Ed are always plotting little getaways and romantic gestures for each other that are just so sweet. It’s a true joy to see what Shau-Ru dreams up for each of our shoots. For their second…
It’s our little tradition to document Jenny and Kevin’s love story and to create a beautiful leather album every year. For this, our fifth shoot together, we opted to document a slice of their lives in their first home together, which we have lovingly dubbed the “Yauhaus” (after their last name, Yau). We started with…
I don’t do family portraits all that often, but this one was a special gift from my friend Nancy to her sister-in-law’s family, and it was so fun. We met up in South Bay at Shoreline Park. The weather was perfect with just a touch of California autumn; little Hunter was just a bundle of…
