Hello from week two of shelter-in-place. Let’s travel back in time, exactly three weeks ago, when we were still on a small retreat up in Ukiah: five photographers and a designer from our Office of Accountability. We enjoyed home cooked meals, a day at the spa, and then came back to photograph new portraits for…
The first week of March, six of us hopped into two cars and drove north for a two-night retreat in Ukiah. It’s only been two weeks since this trip, but of course our realities have shifted completely since then. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support of our Office of Accountability community in these uncertain…
It was such a joy and a privilege to meet up with the Lynch family to photograph them for the third time. It’s especially fun to look back on the first session and see how much the boys have grown in four years. Now the eldest is getting ready to go off to college! See…
Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
They first met at MIT, where Bobby was Christine’s Taekwondo instructor. For weeks he strategized on how he could make an introduction to hang out with her. He tried to make small talk about her being a vegetarian with some bungled jokes like “I could totally be vegetarian. Is meat a vegetable?” But when he…
The weekend after my birthday, Alex and I took a road trip to Monterey for a quick getaway. We started with a lunch stop in Moss Landing at Phil’s Fish Market & Eatery. Next, a visit to Pacific Grove and heir Monarch butterfly sanctuary. We spotted a few up in the trees, but Monarch counts…
I loved meeting up with Yannie and Howard and their little dog Foxy in their neighborhood park for this beautiful engagement session. It’s always fun for me to explore a new spot, and it’s always more meaningful if the couple picks a location that has some personal significance to them! See some of my favorites…
Upon our return from Hawaii, we asked ourselves what we should do for New Year’s. One day later we were en route to the northwestern corner of California, about six hours north, to Redwood National and State Parks. Unlike most National Parks, this one is inextricably entangled with its neighboring state parks and the two…
I had the best time frolicking around Point Isabel with Candace, Derek, and their dog Chester. We were a bit windswept, but the light was beautiful. See a few of my favorites below!

This was such a beautiful and soul-affirming session. V had never considered doing a boudoir session, thinking she would never be interested in taking such revealing photos. But I am so happy that she saw a boudoir session on my website that changed her mind completely about what boudoir can be. Far from being scandalous,…
What an adorable family, reunited for the holidays! We headed to the Arizona Gardens at Stanford for some portraits with the Ongs. So fun and so color-coordinated!

Parul and Yogi first met through a mutual friend. As the friend stepped away on a phone call, the two began talking. From the start, Parul noticed Yogi’s sense of curiosity and Yogi noticed how wonderful and caring Parul is. They’ve been together for over six years since. In advance of their big wedding in…
