We piled into the Nissan Pathfinder, six people in the seven-seater and all our luggage strapped on top, and we departed Marrakesh, which was no small feat, with Godwin pulling some very impressive maneuverability skills through the very narrow alleys of the medina. Our destination for day three was Fes, a six-hour drive, but with an afternoon…
Morocco! We were perhaps a bit ambitious with our itinerary, traveling all across the country in just one week, but then again, we couldn’t really bear parting with any of our excursions either. So we packed in as much tile, tagine, and mint tea as we could into less than seven days. Our flights were…
‘Tis the season for a nice cozy cup of tea! My friend Saira has the best tea-filled instagram @darjeelingdreams. We met up on a Friday afternoon for some tea at one of her favorite spots, Lovejoy’s. Love! Such cute mismatched tea wares. I loved Saira’s hazelnut tea, and my mango was great too. The perfect…
On a lovely October day, I gathered a couple of my friends for a little hike around San Francisco. We started at Lover’s Point in the Presidio and wandered our way over to Ocean Beach. So many gorgeous sights to see. Dan, me, Tiffany, and Paul. Move here soon, Tiffany! Sneaking in two photos from Mt….
Scenes from around town in October as various friends came to visit! The Mill with Michelle the day before Young & Jess’ wedding. Lester’s birthday dinner. Dim sum Sunday! Hanging out in the Mission.

Art all around Philly! The first weekend of October, hundreds of artists opened their doors to the public as part of the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours. Check out some of the artists– and my other art wanderings around the city– below. A little visit to the Center of Art in Wood when I was walking around Old City…
More Philly adventures! I was back in Philly again this month, hanging out with Justin and exploring the city. Here is an assortment of snapshots from around town. To kick it off, the Free Library of Philadelphia. I went in search of a book on Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” exhibit that toured the country…
The last weekend of September, I headed to NYC for a brief visit from Philly. It was perfect timing, because we got out of town while Philadelphia was shut down for the Pope’s visit; I got to photograph my clients’ engagement session in Central Park, and Boba Guys was following me all the way from SF for their pop-up in Manhattan too. This…
At the end of August, I got to make a trip down to LA to photograph cupcakes for Dots in Pasadena. Pretty awesome career move! As an extra bonus, I also got to meet baby Ellie, hang out with great friends, and explore the Arts District. See some of my snapshots around town below: Baby Ellie! A…
Two mini adventures with Duke friends around the Bay. One: Point Reyes, a tree tunnel, and an abandoned ship. Two: A hike up Panoramic Hill with views as lovely as promised. Debo, Dan, and I headed up to North Bay. Our first stop: Point Reyes lighthouse. Next, we went to visit this awesome tree tunnel! …
My friend Sarah is the epitome of boho chic. She splits her time between Paris and California and is always off on a new adventure, trekking across the world by herself or with friends in different countries every year. For her birthday, she held a low-key but adorable little gathering in the spare room of…
