Let’s take a look back at March, even though it’s bittersweet because it’s filled with farewells to our friend Brianne! We kick it off with our Office of Accountability meeting, Bri’s last one before moving to Singapore. Yifan came to visit from Portland– twice! Here’s our celebration dinner after having our first-ever Amber Collective meeting! I…
For the second year in a row, I headed to Taipei in February. Growing up, I only visited my parents’ homeland once every several years, so making it an annual trip is a recent development. With winter being the slow season for work and with plane tickets being so reasonable, I figured I should seize…
Join me on a quick tour through my February in the Bay. Most of the month I was actually gone in Asia, but here are the little adventures I went on while I was at home. First, a little shopping through Temescal Alley with my mom. Some cute shops in Berkeley. Tiffany & Greg’s going…
It’s time for my first monthly recap of 2019! We rewind to the first day of the year, when I met up with family for dinner at Rivoli at the end of my solo New Year’s retreat. Opening the year with a tarot workshop with Stephanie, who created the Fleurot Deck. So thankful for our…
It was a last-minute idea that just came to mind while I was driving home on the 30th of December, and just as quickly, it turned into solid travel plans for the next day. Instead of seeking out a fancy New Year’s Eve celebration or watching fireworks, I booked a stay at a farm off…
Here we are with the final monthly recap of 2018. It was a wonderful month on the quiet side, filled with gatherings of friends and family and lots of time at home finishing up my work for the year. First, a gorgeous sunset scene from the Marin Headlands. A little lunch break in the middle…
It’s time for another monthly recap! Here’s a look back at my November in the Bay. First up, lunch with some new orchestra friends at Pintoh in Oakland. Guy is three! Here’s his birthday party down in Sunnyvale. With Dave, Rebecca, Mairin, and Nikhil — all friends and past wedding clients of mine!…
I’m back with another monthly recap! Here’s a look at my October in the Bay. We start it off with an accountability meeting, in which we feign being Victorian ladies who swoon instead of running businesses. Love Meg’s beautiful home! On a Thursday afternoon, Brianne and I went to the instagram-bait Museum of Ice Cream…
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,…
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….
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 months keep flying by. Here’s a look back at August in the Bay. We start it off with our Office of Accountability meeting, this time at Eileen’s place in San Francisco. Delicious snacks, always. My aunt and cousin were still in town from last month. My aunt has always loved Snoopy for as long…
