Nearly one year after we were married, Alex and I finally went on our honeymoon! When it came to our honeymoon destination, we came up with a huge list of possibilities all over the world and eventually circled back to the first idea for a travel destination that we’d had even before the pandemic, Portugal. …
I photographed a wonderful holiday dinner this winter, hosted by the lovely folks from Twrl Milk Tea, alongside several collaborators in their community. Twrl is a plant-based milk tea newly celebrating its launch into Whole Foods Markets. In addition, they wanted to honor the 90th anniversary of Norman Rockwell’s “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” painting…
Meet Rachel and her hearing dog Rosie! Rachel is deaf and wears a cochlear implant. She recently got the opportunity to receive a hearing dog to assist her in everyday life, and especially with alerts such as letting her know if a fire alarm goes off or if someone is at the door. Rachel attended…
While we were on our lovely farm stay at Vernon Street Farm this fall, Alex and I and made a little day trip over to Cooperstown, New York. If you’ve heard of Cooperstown, it’s likely you are a baseball fan or know someone who is, because it is home of the National Baseball Hall of…
Nina and Blake first met eight years ago, and their casual friendship took several years to grow at its own slow pace, before they finally looked at each other six years in and thought, should we try dating each other? The answer was yes. Absolutely. Their foundation was built very slowly but very solidly, and…
It’s officially been a decade since I started photographing Joyce and Keven for their engagement session. So interesting to think how much life has changed for them since then (a marriage, completely new line of work, and two human beings who didn’t used to exist!). And as always, it’s an incredible honor to chronicle these…
Amanda and Susana have been together for a decade, and they have built a strong and supportive foundation for their lives together in that time. They chose to have a small ceremony and lunch reception at Oakland’s Terrace Room overlooking Lake Merritt, before having a second banquet wedding up in Seattle for family. A very…
After a couple days in Manhattan, Alex and I met up with our friends and boarded a train from the brand new Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station. We headed northward for two hours and arrived at Hudson Station for the farm portion of our New York trip. Our good friends Do-Hee and Josh had …
Emily’s sister had gone to school with Josh and stayed loosely connected to him through their ties to the college, until eventually she realized she should really introduce Josh to her little sister Emily. The rest was history! Emily and Josh quickly fell in love, and they are now engaged to be wed. We captured…
Well, I’ve never encountered a foggier day atop Mt. Tam. But Chrissy and Aaron have already been through many difficult challenges in life together: surviving a pandemic, caring for ailing family members, and also grieving great losses together. So this layer of cold, windy fog certainly didn’t rank anywhere on their top challenges list. Rather,…
Lesley and Min’s wedding was an absolute stunner at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and we created a beautiful wedding album befitting the story of their day. They chose a luxe linen for the cover, and we added custom calligraphy from Brown Fox Calligraphy with gold debossing for the title. Getting ready for the…
On a map, Sea Ranch doesn’t look all that far from San Francisco. Follow the edge of California northward, and it looks like you could hop right over to this section of the coastline in an hour or two. But of course, it’s actually quite a journey, as you follow the winding roads through valleys…
