If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll probably recognize this couple! It’s Jenny and Kevin (my Seaglass Cinema business partner). We started an annual tradition of doing a photo shoot to celebrate their marriage over the years. Not only do we do anniversary shoots, we also make a beautiful heirloom album every time….
I am very excited to launch this new series on my blog– wedding vendor spotlights. Since I first stepped in to the wedding industry over five years ago, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many amazing people who have not only done great work for their clients but who have also gone above and…
My 2013 has been off to a crazy start, including a month of travels kicked off with visits to two familiar places– Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Below are just a few frames from those two spots: Los Angeles: food, food, and food. I seem to have made my Red Rock Canyon hikes an annual…
I think I’ve found my new favorite holiday. It happens the day after Thanksgiving. After our meals with our respective families or other friends, we gather at Jenny and Kevin Yau’s home (“the Yauhaus”) and go for round two. And no, it’s not leftovers. It’s an entirely new Thanksgiving meal. We call it Second Thanksgiving….
Every Monday, I feature an image and backstory from my Pointe of View series. For more, view all these ballerina posts or visit the Pointe of View store. It’s been an amazing Thanksgiving weekend filled with food, friends, and festivities. I am still down in Los Angeles for another day, avoiding the holiday traffic back up to San Francisco, but…
Happy Anniversary, Jenny & Kevin! Today is the actual date that marks two years from their wedding. I love that we have an annual tradition of doing a photoshoot together. It’s been so much fun celebrating their relationship over the years and flexing our creativity muscles so that no two shoots are ever the same….
Pointe of View is a personal project I started at the end of 2011. I had just finished my wedding season, and as much as I love weddings (and I really do), I really wanted to step into something else. Something different. Something creatively challenging. I had done ballet briefly as a child, just long…
This post is very much overdue! Back in March, I attended Caroline Tran’s very first Propel photography workshop in Pasadena, California. I have long admired Caroline’s sweet, elegant style and had been her blogstalker for quite some time, so I jumped at the chance to connect with her face to face and learn from her….
I am completely in love with these new wedding albums I’ve just added to my product offerings! The leather and the silk covers are absolutely luxurious, and I am especially smitten with the debossing on the cover. It’s the perfect way to personalize your album with a completely custom imprint. Jenny and Kevin were the…
I visit the Los Angeles area almost once a month, sometimes for work but most often for no reason at all. I treat it like my second home. Kevin is not only my friend and business partner, but he and his wife Jenny and our other friends in LA are like family to me. So…
Following my previous post with the announcement of my new boudoir photography line, I wanted to show a bit more from a maternity boudoir session I shot at Caroline Tran’s Propel workshop. I’ll post more soon about the workshop itself and some of the other shoots we did, but for now, enjoy some of my favorites of…
She was a little bundle of nerves all morning. She just could not wait to marry the love of her life. It was seven years ago that she had reached between the seats of a bus to tap him on the shoulder. They were on their way to a sorority/fraternity party, and she had wanted…
