I was thrilled to visit Los Angeles when Suleen brought me down for her beautiful elopement. I had been feeling like I was overdue for a trip to LA anyway, and I loved that this all lined up. Since it was the middle of wedding season I had fun turning the trip into a workation,…
The months just keep flying by. It’s time for a recap of September! We start with a business meeting / friends’ outing! First I met with Dan and Jeri for brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen Dimond District in Oakland… we’ve officially booked their wedding for 2020! And then we headed to Alameda for a visit…
I got to spend the first weekend of September up in Seattle thanks to Jen & Gary who flew me up for their engagement session. It was a quick but full trip. Despite meeting a crazy thunderstorm and the first rains of the season, I was armed with my new rain shell that I had…
It’s already time for another monthly recap! And this one is going to be a long one, because I was actually in the Bay for almost the entire month, and I was lucky enough to have many little adventures filling all my weeks. We start with a beautiful panoramic view from Tomales Bay! Fresh oysters…
Welcome to the July recap! I also traveled to Lassen, Taipei, and Alaska this month, but somehow I also squeezed in all these other mini adventures while I was home in California. Take a little gander below! First, Brianne was back in San Francisco! She moved to Singapore in the spring, but we were so lucky…
I was just in Taiwan over Lunar New Year in February, so I had no plans to return so quickly– and in the middle of summer when the heat and humidity soar to the high 90s. However, my maternal grandmother, my last remaining grandparent, passed, and so I was grateful to have the time and…
It’s time to recap another month of adventures around California! With lots and lots of 360° photos along the way. Kicking it off with dinner at Pintoh in Oakland. Heat wave! It was over 90 degrees for way too many days in San Francisco. I headed to Mission Dolores Park with Cassie and Michael (and…
It’s time to recap May in the Bay! I was around California for most of the month, except my one week in Chicago, so plenty of adventures were had. We start with our Amber Collective planning meeting, where we invited people to help us brainstorm the next event. You can see how it came together…
At the end of May, I was thrilled to travel to Chicago to photograph a wedding. Since it was Memorial Day, I went ahead and extended my stay to a full week so I could wander around the city on my own time. Even though I grew up in the midwest and have visited Chicago…
It’s time for another monthly recap! I was in Iceland and Switzerland for half the month, so here are my adventures from the other half of the month back in California! The day of our departure, Cassie and I first attended our monthly Office of Accountability meeting. It was quite the lovely send-off! Upon my…
We’ve reached the finale of our Switzerland adventures! Talya and I headed to Zurich for the last stop on our trip. She just had part of a day there, and I had about 24 hours. After checking in to my hotel, we went out to lunch at a place called Roots and Friends, which was…
It’s time to head for the Alps! This was the main goal of our Switzerland trip: to walk around in nature and breathe in that salubrious mountain air. Admittedly I was imagining springtime when I planned the trip for mid April, but while it was springtime in the cities, it was actually still winter up…
