We were lucky enough to visit Tokyo not once but twice this year, and we were doubly lucky to catch the tail end of cherry blossom season on the second trip. Since it was a work trip for Alex and we weren’t able to book things until the last minute, we got very lucky (again)…
Angela’s sister Betty was the one to reach out and book this portrait session for her as a gift. Angela is an OB/GYN and is expecting her first child this winter! We were able to wander Bair Island just outside their place for some beautiful sunset portraits, and then we had a little part two…
This surprise proposal took a bit of a pivot when Noah’s plans for a Napa proposal got rained out the previous weekend. Left to improvise, he got cornered into just admitting the whole plan instead. So, perhaps Emily wasn’t really surprised by the time we got to this particular spot the following week, but she…
I am so honored to be asked back by previous client friends. It’s been a few years since Cynthia & Erik’s pandemic-era engagement and wedding, and now they are back in the Bay Area, visiting with their new little one! We went back to the site of their engagement session, the Lawrence Hall of Science,…
This was such a wonderful gift, from husband to wife– a family photo session! The girls were full of sass and silliness as we roamed around the expansive grounds at Filoli. Such a beautiful way to mark this festive season. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work…
Not all proposals are surprises! In this case David already had to reschedule the proposal because Julia figured out the original date. When rain forecasts threatened the new date, he decided to just go ahead with it anyway. Julia was still working overtime trying to spoil the surprise, so before they even got there, she…
It is such a special treat to photograph friends year after year! Last time S was barely beginning to walk, and now she’s running around! We met at their neighborhood park for a lovely little session this year, marked by crispy fall leaves and the whims of a moody toddler. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Golden hour! Rejoice! After several years of foggy photo sessions with this family, we finally struck gold! Don’t get me wrong, Karl the Fog is a staple of life here in San Francisco, and the grey backdrop often makes for gloriously moody portraits, but I do have a soft spot for this lovely warm glow….
I love a great surprise proposal, and this one was a true surprise! Samarth did such a wonderful job thinking through not only how to make it a surprise but also how to make sure it was all something that Nikita would love. He lured her to the beautiful gardens at Filoli under the guise…
What a joy to photograph this growing family! It’s always wonderful to spend time with Parker and Amanda, and it was extra special to meet their little one, especially after having just photographed them all when baby was still on the inside. That all feels like it was just yesterday, but I suppose it’s already…
Seven kids and seven adults, and at least my seventh time photographing this wonderful family. You might think the chaos level would decrease over time, but instead these kids just get faster and more opinionated every year. But it’s all great fun, and the photos are such a time capsule and a delightful marker of…
I loved meeting this wonderful family on a perfectly sunny morning at Filoli. They are expecting their third little boy and had never done a single professional photo session before, though you would never know it, as they were all so easy to photograph! Here are just a few favorites below. Anna Wu is…
