I am pleased to present the first wedding album of this year, Cynthia and Erik’s! We got to debut a new font for the cover, since my album company has now presented a slew of new font options. In addition to the debossed names and date, Cynthia and Erik selected the turquoise silk for the…
As you may recall, I held a socially distanced shibori birthday party back in January with friends participating from five time zones across four countries. We each had shibori (indigo) dye kits and dyed quilt squares, which were then mailed back to me so I could create a community-made quilt, like a warm hug from…
What a wonderful feeling to be back in San Francisco City Hall for a wedding. Stepping under the grand dome after a year away was such a treat, and even more so for the couples who now get to be married in this magnificent place! I was honored to photograph Sue-Jean and Steven’s ceremony and…
I loved meeting Mansi and Wes and trekking all over town for this fun engagement session. We covered a lot of ground, from Jackson Square through Chinatown and up to North Beach. San Francisco is still relatively new to these two, with Mansi having only joined Wes here right at the start of the pandemic,…
Events are back! I was honored be back for the third time photographing the Industry “House Party” at The Pearl. This time, after a long hiatus, we were celebrating the return of the events at this San Francisco venue. See a few of the highlights below! Guests entered through School Night, the bar/restaurant adjacent to…
I met up with this beautiful family for some portraits in Buena Vista Park on a very sunny afternoon. Little R is getting ready to become a big brother! Congratulations to the whole family on the big life changes ahead. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work…
I’ve known Joyce pretty much since she was born, since our families were friends and we grew up occasionally meeting up in random parts of Michigan for holidays together. Although our mothers are still close friends, all of us kids have only kept loose tabs on each other since, so it was such an honor…
June! The month in which everything returned, all at once. We got to start the month with our first in-person Accountability meeting since the beginning of 2020! What an incredible feeling. We even got to hug people and meet Nicole’s puppy in real life. Such beautiful bounty from Stephanie’s garden. And Courtney and her baby…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…
What an honor to follow up Malissa and Omar’s maternity session with these family portraits after they welcomed Baby S to their little pod! I loved each of these sweet little moments in their home. See some favorites below. Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at…
Jayleen is a Puerto Rican, queer, non-binary badass. Kailer is a proud trans man and a veteran. And in a small, rural area of Pennsylvania that doesn’t really embrace queer folks, the universe conspired to bring them together. I was honored when Jayleen and Kailer came to me with the idea of a “just because”…
I was so excited to get to photograph Baby M for her first birthday, just six months after our last set of family portraits. She’s grown so much in such a short time! We headed to Crissy Field for this session, and although we were blown and battered by the cold wind, we still got…
