What an incredible miracle it is that Baby S is now here with us in the world, working her way from someone who didn’t even exist a year ago into whomever she’s going to become one day. And what a joy it is to get to meet her and to see my two good friends…
What a joy to reunite with Cynthia and Carolyn, this time on the East Coast! The Haeler family resides in New York, but all three times I had photographed them so far were in California, as they were here for their engagement, their wedding, and visiting family with little C. This time I got to…
Angela reached out to me months in advance to schedule a couple’s session for her and her boyfriend to commemorate their time in San Francisco, as they were on the verge of moving to a different city together. Great! I thought, Why only celebrate engagements and weddings? I would love it if everyone did more…
J & A are college sweethearts, having toughed out years of harsh winters together in the Northeast. Now that they have relocated to Stanford, they have moved on to nicer weather and are embarking on a whole new set of adventures together. We embraced a beautiful golden day on campus for their engagement session. See…
What a joy it is to document my dear friends Dan and Jeri as they journey into this next chapter of their lives! We embraced that warm South Bay sunshine for this magical session in the rolling hills of San Jose. I can’t wait to meet baby girl, and you can bet there will be…
It’s such an honor to document the new chapters of my couples’ lives! It has now been a decade since I first photographed mom and dad, and now it’s year two of getting to photograph the little one too. She even insisted on wearing the same dress as last year. This time we were quite…
Annsa and Arvind have been the most delightful couple to work with through the years. I have had the honor of photographing a series of portrait sessions for them, in lieu of what was originally planned to be their 2020 wedding. They didn’t end up having the party, but they have been wed now for…
I still don’t know what kind of a crazy time warp we all stepped into in 2020, but I am still a bit bewildered, trying to step out on the other side. The Lynch family was one of the last photo sessions I photographed before we all went into lockdown in March, 2020, and now…
Sixteen adults, three kids, and a pup. We roamed a small park in Fremont and photographed every permutation and combination of this four-generation family, but no matter what grouping or order you put them in, what comes out is love. Such a joy to document these special gatherings of family over the holidays! First, the…
Yes or Yes! This was such a sweet surprise proposal. Darren knew that Yue would suspect that a proposal was coming, because they had already gone ring shopping together. Plus, she knew they had a reservation for The French Laundry where they had dined once before. But he still had some surprises up his sleeve….
The gardens at Filoli are the perfect backdrop for holiday family sessions! I had a wonderful time roaming the grounds with these two cousins and their parents for some playful, elegant, and timeless portraits. See a few of my favorites below! Cousins! Such a delight, this is the fourth session I’ve done with this little…
This big family is truly such a delight to photograph, because no matter how chaotic seven children running freely might actually be in real life, somehow the images show only the joy and love that exists amongst each of these wonderful people. It’s also very fun to look back at the last session we all…
