They first met at summer camp in the Bay Area when Anny had just graduated from high school and John had been a long time counselor. Afterwards, they became friends and hung out a lot during Anny’s years at the University of California Berkeley, but it wasn’t until they parted ways, with Anny in optometry…
It was almost exactly two years ago that I first posted this very adorable session of Cami & Eric at Lake Merritt in Oakland. These two have been in a long distance relationship for the last three years while living in varying combinations of Oakland, Seattle, Rome, and Phoenix. It wasn’t until this past June…
She was always a bit of a wild child, a party girl. He has always been a farm boy, born and raised in the small town of Eden, New York. But when they met back in college, somehow the pieces fit. He keeps her grounded; she keeps life interesting. And at the end of the…
I don’t know who started it, calling him the godfather of Taiwanese America, but I think the title’s going to stick. Ho Chie has been involved with almost every Taiwanese American organization imaginable, and he even had a hand in creating many of them. One of his ongoing projects is TaiwaneseAmerican.org, an online portal that spotlights…
She’s amazing and gorgeous and would never admit it herself. On my visit to Los Angeles last month, I needed some help with office and editing tasks, and my friend Diana needed some headshots to submit to castings as an extra. It made for the perfect trade. I taught her how to do some things…

I can still remember her as my quiet, smart, cool little camper when I, fresh out of middle school, served my first year as a counselor-in-training at our annual summer camp. Some things haven’t changed at all since those days– Mayline’s radiant smile and her generosity amongst them– but it’s been quite the privilege to see her…
You might never guess that their paths would cross. She, the little girl from Japan with a sweetness and sincerity about her and a knack for helping others and he, the little boy from Rwanda with a huge heart and a profound passion for community. Namiko grew up and found herself doing an internship at…
Before we even begin, please take a couple minutes to watch the highlight film created by our sister company, Seaglass Cinema. It captures the day beautifully! Ragini and Brandon | 07.02.11 from Seaglass Cinema on Vimeo. The easiest, most obvious thing to say about Ragini and Brandon is that they are both incredibly brilliant. You could even say…
Today’s post is a bit of a collaboration. I had the absolute pleasure of working with some amazing wedding vendors to create a beautiful styled shoot a couple of months ago, and we’re excited to share it here. Read on for part one of a three part series co-hosted by my fellow collaborators. Where do…
I drove past the house on accident and pulled over to turn around. A beautiful deer paused right next to me, gauging whether to resume eating leaves or run away. It eventually ran away. Later, going back up the road, a small pack of wild turkeys ran zig-zagging across the road as if they were having the…
If you’ve already seen part one of this amazing wedding, you’re probably ready to jump into part two, so here goes!
