This was an incredibly sweet mini session for Shiela and Tommy, who are expecting their firstborn very soon. We had Shiela scaling the sand dunes at Ocean Beach, but we lucked out with such a beautiful day, calm skies, and the perfect backdrop for these timeless portraits in a time of anticipation.

It is such an honor to photograph a fellow photographer! And this little family was especially a delight, with the exuberance of their eldest daughter contrasted with her absolutely unfazed baby sister, haha. What a joy! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. View her work at annawu.com, follow her…
This is a very fun family to photograph. I last photographed them three years ago, when the youngest was just a baby. Now she’s wearing the dress her big sister wore last time. The setting is the same, but the kids are all growing up and filling out their irrepressible personalities! Anna Wu is…
A huge congratulations to Ellie Yang Camp on the launch of her remarkable book, Louder than the Lies! In a frank, conversational manner, Ellie offers such important insight and inspiration for Asian Americans on identity, solidarity, and self-love. I was so happy to be able to photograph two of her Bay Area book launch events….
It has been three years since I photographed Jia and Suyash (and Leia the Corgi) for their wedding in the redwoods. This time they’re back with a new family member in tow! Little M was quite the charmer. I loved getting to spend some with all of them at this little park in Mission Bay….
Earlier this summer I hosted my Taiwanese American Cookbook Club featuring A-Gong’s Table, an entirely vegan Taiwanese cookbook by George Lee with photography by Laurent Hsia. We all really enjoyed the cookbook and the chance to explore Taiwanese food through a vegan lens. I was then lucky enough to be in both New York and…
Eleven years of photographing this two and three years with the little one too! I absolutely love getting to watch these little ones grow up and am so honored to be asked back to document these moments, year after year. This time we returned to the San Francisco Botanical Garden for some portraits and chasing…
Back in the spring, I got to attend the Oakland A’s Taiwan Day, which has been an annual occurrence at the Coliseum for several years now. The San Francisco Giants finally decided to join in on the fun, hosting their very first Taiwanese Heritage Night this fall. And to double up on the festivities, they…
Irene and Martin have been the most wonderful couple to work with, through a pandemic and various postponements and pivots. In the end, I got to photograph them for a lovely maternity session along the California Coast. We assembled the images into this linen photo book, complete with gold foil debossing on its cover. Beautiful!…
I am so thrilled to share my latest craft project, nearly two years in the making! Ever since I married into baseball fandom (thank you Alex), I started bringing my own hobbies to the ballpark. For the entire 2022-2023 MLB season I was knitting the cutest little hexpuff quilt for my friend’s baby. After that…
I am very excited to share the first of my mini sessions from this season! It was a beautiful morning at McClellan Ranch in Cupertino with the always delightful Garrison Family. This is now my sixth time photographing Dan and Jeri, and I must say that every session is my new favorite session with them….

Walkabouts in Chinatown Quarterly standing date at the House of Prime Rib! The Chronicle keeps talking about how hard it is to get into this place, but we…
