Jill came to me wanting to document this very precious time with their baby boy, as he is adorable and just bubbling with personality. She also especially loves fall and Halloween, so it was the perfect time to capture these moments in this very fleeting season of life. Bat boy and bat dog! So cute….
I loved meeting this wonderful family on a perfectly sunny morning at Filoli. They are expecting their third little boy and had never done a single professional photo session before, though you would never know it, as they were all so easy to photograph! Here are just a few favorites below. Anna Wu is…
I was so delighted to photograph this family again, as they get ready to welcome a new addition very soon. I first photographed J & S (and their pup Leia) for their beautiful two-part wedding celebrations and got to meet little M last year when she was just beginning to toddle around. This time we…
Maya and Jason first met in college over a decade ago, and they have since lived so much life together, moving across the country to her hometown on the East Coast and then to his on the West Coast. They are now embarking on the next chapter of their lives, united and together for good,…
Jarod and Seohyun have been together for seven years, having met as university students and then moving across Australia and traveling the world together. I helped Jarod to plan this proposal for her while he was at home in Melbourne and I was on the road in Tokyo, for their rather last-minute trip to San…
What an absolute delight to photograph this wedding for Cassandra and Walter! Cassandra was actually my photography intern more than a decade ago. She assisted me on all sorts of weddings and other sessions and learned some of my workflow and editing processes behind the scenes as well. It was so fun to catch up…
December recap! We actually began the month in Los Angeles and ended it in Taipei. But here are some of our adventures around the Bay in between. Our new-old Barbour jackets we got from Goodfight! Mine a re-loved and Alex’s is new. Time to go pick up our very first fake Christmas tree. The Garrisons…
November recap! We begin with pizza at Rose’s in the Mission. Cassie came over for a first-time knitting tutorial. Just in time for her to work at polls on election day. A special meal at Rintaro for their 10-year anniversary, featuring house-made soba Cassie and I visited Nancy at her coworking space inside the Ferry…
K and Z had a beautiful San Francisco wedding day , first getting ready at the Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, taking a Waymo over to San Francisco’s City Hall for an intimate ceremony, and completing their celebrations with a reception at Foreign Cinema. All in all such a beautiful, elegant way to mark their union….
We did it! Almost a year after we started, we finally completed the Crosstown Trail. Our friend Cindy joined Alex and me for this fifth and final leg of the hike, walking from Park Presidio in The Richmond, passing by Baker Beach, and ending at Sutro Baths. First, we met at Breadbelly in the Richmond…
Alex and I embarked on section four of five of the Crosstown Trail back in November, squeezing it in before we left on our travels for the rest of the year. Section four took us from the Sunset up through the Richmond via a cross section of Golden Gate Park. Not the most spectacular part…
One week after we completed section two of the Crosstown Trail, we resumed the hike with section three: “the stair section!” I wouldn’t have guessed it would be my favorite section (since walking up and down a ton of stairs doesn’t sound all that fun), but it turned out to be absolutely beautiful and charming!…
