At the end of our Joshua Tree trip, we went ahead and stopped by Alhambra for lunch since we had to go through LA to drop off Courtney anyway. Oh, how silly, because I would be back two days later to photograph Emily & Adithya’s wedding! But in between, I had to go back up…
There’s so much I could say about the Yaus. I basically feel like I’m an extended part of their family. There was one point when I visited Jenny and Kevin down in LA eleven times in one year. It really felt like my second home. I’ve known Kevin since high school or college, but my…
I’ve already expounded on the joys of taking this road trip with four other bossladies and shared some of the portraits that we made out in the desert, but here’s a better look into what we did the rest of the trip. Here are some of the many orchards of central California. My go-to California…
In mid-October, five of us got in a minivan and drove across California to head to Joshua Tree. It was the middle of a busy travel and work season for all of us, but it was so wonderfully restorative to be in the desert with these wacky looking trees and the company of these awesome…
Say hello to baby Joseph! I headed to Cincinnati at the beginning of October to meet this little man and visit his parents. Lauren and I were best friends growing up in middle and high school, and it’s such a treat to now see her as a mom. We walked around the neighborhood even though…
Agnes and Stephen usually live down in Southern California, but they spent a couple months up in San Francisco this summer and wanted to capture their short time here with a fun portrait session. What we didn’t anticipate was that baby Sullivan would throw a protest halfway through the session and completely fall asleep! Being…
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!…
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…
