Alex and I are lucky enough to have not only our primary residence in San Francisco but also a second home in Cupertino, which is really his parents’ property from when he went to school here. We have really enjoyed not only just the privilege of having two homes, but also the joy of both…
What a special treat to meet one-month-old Baby G and his very sweet big sister, M the goldendoodle! Here are a few of my favorites from their at-home session. Please excuse the star stickers hiding baby’s face for privacy! I promise he is very adorable and handsome under there. Anna Wu is a wedding and…
Having already made it through over a year of pandemic postponements for this wedding, an atmospheric river of earlier-than-usual rain wasn’t going to put a damper on this wedding day. The original 2020 plan was for a church wedding followed by a Chinese banquet, but that was reimagined into a beautiful little ceremony in the…
It’s time for the September recap! We began the month with our accountability meeting, this time at Cassie’s house. With Do-Hee joining online. Dinner with Alex at Nari in Japantown. We visited pre-pandemic but wanted to come support it again. They now have a prix fixe menu, which we opted for. So delicious! Maybe a…
I love getting to see Candace and Derek’s wedding celebrations, which spanned two different years thanks to the pandemic, in this final form as beautiful wedding albums. They chose a gorgeous dusty blue leather cover, and the main album was debossed with custom calligraphy by Brown Fox Calligraphy. In addition to the medium sized book,…
It’s been twelve years since I last photographed Ilyssa for some fun portraits around Mission Bay. A lot has changed since then! I was delighted when Ilyssa reached out to do a new photo session, this time with her husband and three children. See a handful of favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and…
What a delight to meet Baby Z, two weeks after her arrival. And what a joy to see the whole family settling in to their new shape as a quartet. It was especially heartwarming to see how quickly and enthusiastically H has adapted to his role as big brother. See just a few of my…
August recap! Wow, so much baseball. And a few outings with friends as well. Let’s get right into it! The Giants continue to be #1 in all of MLB! We continue to attend a bunch of their games. I never thought I’d actually like going to so much baseball, but it’s quite a fun experience…
It is such an honor to be asked by a fellow photographer to photograph their family. I was delighted to meet Cassie’s parents and her sister on their long anticipated visit to San Francisco. We hiked up Bernal Hill for some golden hour magic! Dad and Rusty share a special bond. Of course they needed…
It was wonderful to meet Erin and Duc, for their engagement session over at Land’s End and Sutro Baths. Thanks to the Monday session, we had the place virtually to ourselves, and we also got lucky with the most beautiful golden hour light. See a few of my favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding…
Last year, in the midst of shelter-in-place, I set out with a group of photographer friends to work on a collaborative art project titled Isolayered. As we have since returned to some version of normalcy and then gone back towards isolation again, I’m reflecting on the beauty and the difficulty of community when connection becomes…
I would say that July was the month we quickly rushed out into the world, before quietly being ushered back into our homes. We had been fully vaccinated for over a month already, and started expanding our social circles and reclaiming old things like indoor dining, photographing full weddings, and going maskless. But then with…
