There’s so much I could say about the Yaus. I basically feel like I’m an extended part of their family. There was one point when I visited Jenny and Kevin down in LA eleven times in one year. It really felt like my second home. I’ve known Kevin since high school or college, but my…
I’ve already expounded on the joys of taking this road trip with four other bossladies and shared some of the portraits that we made out in the desert, but here’s a better look into what we did the rest of the trip. Here are some of the many orchards of central California. My go-to California…
Emily and Adithya are two warm souls who are so incredibly loved by their friends and family. The tears started early in the day, when Emily’s mother saw her all dressed up in her wedding gown. And just before Emily walked down the aisle, it was the two best men who were wiping tears from…
Hello, Cincinnati! It’s been two years since I last visited the land of my middle- and high school days. Of course my relationship to this city is totally different now as an adult. For one thing, I never actually explored downtown as a kid, instead just staying in my little suburban bubble, but for another,…
In mid-October, five of us got in a minivan and drove across California to head to Joshua Tree. It was the middle of a busy travel and work season for all of us, but it was so wonderfully restorative to be in the desert with these wacky looking trees and the company of these awesome…
Say hello to baby Joseph! I headed to Cincinnati at the beginning of October to meet this little man and visit his parents. Lauren and I were best friends growing up in middle and high school, and it’s such a treat to now see her as a mom. We walked around the neighborhood even though…
It’s time for another month’s recap! We start off with my third viewing of Crazy Rich Asians, this time with Tiffany, Greg, Dan, and Jeri down in San Mateo. We decided to check out Wursthall before the movie. And then ice cream sandwiches from Cream as a pre-movie treat. Our September Office of Accountability Meeting….
Margaret and Lance are both incredibly sweet and are secretly goofballs on the inside. They’ve been together for five years, with plenty of adventures in that time. They especially love national parks and got engaged at Glacier National Park last year. They decided to be wed at the ever-elegant Legion of Honor, an art museum…
My delightful collaboration with Hawthorn Flower Studio continues! I headed to her studio last month to photograph some of her creations in a beautiful red color palette. I love this take on fall and the little minimalist moments with the sparse and beautiful arrangements. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San…
Isabella and Hugh first met four years ago at a charity event, and they immediately clicked over their consulting careers and their love of food, wine, and travel. In the years since, they have explored many new places and restaurants together, and those shared interests have only deepened. When it came time to think about…
I was so excited to fly to Rhode Island to photograph Elizabeth & Louie’s wedding there in August. The only other time I’ve been to Rhode Island was also to photograph a college friend’s wedding in Newport five years earlier. Our stay was very brief that time, so this time around I booked an extra…
The universe conspired together with Luciana’s sister Paula and her friend Augusto to set up this incredibly sweet love story. Luciana and her sister Paula live in Brazil, but Paula was visiting San Francisco when she unfortunately injured her back and was sent to emergency spinal surgery. Paula was on the next flight out. Wanting…
