Weddings are back! Berkenesh and Norver have been patiently waiting to be wed. They were each working as doctors on the front lines of the Covid response– long distance, on opposite sides of the country, for the past year. And now they were finally able to gather safely with their friends and family for a…
Kylen and Charlie met when Kylen was anchoring the news and Charlie was anchoring sports at a TV channel in Lexington, Kentucky. They started off as friends, but a New Year’s kiss sealed their fates as something more. They’ve now moved to California together, where they’re both anchoring sports, and we celebrated their engagement with…
The end of May was when everything started changing all of a sudden in terms of our pandemic experience here in California. Alex and I both got our second vaccines in Mid-May, just in time for us to reach full immunity prior to Memorial Day weekend, when I would be down in Big Sur for…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…

I was honored when Jayleen and Kailer came to me with the idea of a “just because”…
After nearly a decade of long distance, including over a year living apart during a global pandemic, Cynthia and Erik were able to reunite with each other and their families for a beautiful wedding ceremony on the cliffs of Big Sur, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The skies were fogged over, blanketing everyone in the celebration…
It was so lovely to see Tien and Jeremy again. After having photographed their engagement and wedding, I got to photograph this next big moment in their lives, as they get ready to welcome a little one into their family!

I was so excited to get to photograph Baby M for her first birthday, just six months after our last set of family portraits. She’s grown so much in such a short time! We headed to Crissy Field for this session, and although we were blown and battered by the cold wind, we still got…
Welcome to the April recap! The big task of the month was moving out of my Oakland apartment after a decade of living there! See some glimpses of our month below: Paint Club patterns drawing, part two! I made this very fun Taiwanese fruit pattern and actually printed it as fabric! I’m hoping to sew…
Back in March, we hopped in the car for a little weekend getaway to the mountains. We’re incredibly lucky to be able to just opt in to a couple days of winter when we feel like it and then return to the Bay Area where it’s spring again. Alex got to sneak in a couple…
