Neera and Jeff live in Salt Lake City, but they were back in the Bay Area visiting Neera’s family and planning for their upcoming multi-day wedding celebrations here in California, and we were able to squeeze in their engagement session at Land’s End, right after some late-season rain storms. Such a beautiful, if windy, day….
I had the best time roaming around Stanford’s campus and visiting The Dish with M & D on a beautifully sunny day. You’d think that after fourteen years living in the Bay Area and working as a photographer I would have visited the Stanford Dish at least a handful of times for photo sessions or…
Such a wonderful proposal in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens! Malcolm pulled out all of the stops for his girlfriend Christine’s birthday. The couple is long-distance, with Malcolm living in Michigan and Christine here in California. He surprised her by flying in for her birthday, and not only that, but celebrating with her by involving…

It was so fun to be reunited with this family, nine years after I last photographed them in Ojai. I have known Aaron since my teaching days in Oakland, and I have photographed his family four times prior to this, dating back to 2010. This time we were also joined by his sister’s family and…
It is such a joy to share these photos of this sweet family with you all. I photographed Carolyn and Cynthia’s wedding back in the smoky, pre-pandemic days of Fall, 2019. And now they have welcomed a baby girl to their family. The trio lives over in NYC, but they traveled back to the Bay…
Springtime at Stanford! It’s been years since I’ve photographed on the Stanford campus, and it was such a delight to be back.

I was absolutely thrilled to be a part of this proposal surprise for my friend Andrew, whom I’ve known for decades, and whose sister’s proposal I also photographed years ago. On a beautiful day, underneath a gorgeous magnolia tree full of white blooms, Andrew asked his girlfriend Sharon to marry him. And of course she…
Brittany and Akinyemi met in San Francisco four years ago, and they have since explored the city together, going on long hikes and enjoying delicious meals at a variety of restaurants. We returned to a couple of their favorite places for their engagement session, just two months into their engagement and only one month from…
I absolutely loved capturing this surprise proposal for Nick and his girlfriend Delia. It was incredibly meaningful and personal, and it was also a total surprise to Delia. What a delight to be able to help make this happen! The story is best told by Nick and Delia themselves. From Nick: Delia and I have…
What a beautiful day to return to Land’s End, the site of Tina and Bryan’s first date, for their engagement session. From golden hour in the trees to sunset over the water, we celebrated this bit of magic and love in the corner of San Francisco. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…
I have known Terry for over a decade, since the last time he lived in Oakland. He has since been on a long journey, moving around the country and enduring a slew of difficulties and heartbreaks. But he is now plotting his return to the California and the next phase of life, including his new…
