December was a full month, filled with holiday decor, videochats, bouncing between San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland, and neighborhood walking tours, which I decided would be their own post. Recap below. Our Office of Accountability Friendsgiving went virtual this year. Here’s Do-Hee presenting my secret santa gift for Eileen — seeds, and this stack of…

I am so grateful to have wonderful wedding clients who revisit me as family clients over the years. This year especially, with big weddings on hold, it was my past clients who kept my business going with their portrait sessions! It was an absolute delight to photograph Adrienne and Jenton and little H for their…
What a delightful family session! I had photographed Jen and Christophe years ago for their holiday cards. I was excited to see them again and meet the little one who turned out to be such a ham for the camera. See some of my favorites below! Anna Wu is a wedding and portrait photographer based…
It felt like we were pretty settled in to pandemic life in October. We focused most of our energies on sprucing up our home and rotating between the three places we have around the Bay in San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland. One of the biggest developments was that our furniture that we ordered back on…
I am absolutely delighted to share this family session today. I photographed Bridgette and Ryan’s engagement and wedding seven years ago, and they reached back out this year to photograph their family and their six-month-old baby girl! She has the best smile and was such a joy to photograph. See some highlights below! Nomnomnom hair!…
This was such a fun little proposal, complete with a musical performance by the two grooms-to-be, backgrounded by the golden gate bridge. Nigel’s plan was to tell Ritchie they would dress up and meet their friends in the park to play some music. Of course, this being a pandemic and the whole premise being completely…
September. Wherein the state was on fire, and we had that incredibly eerie orange day in which the sun never rose. So, so strange. Every month continues to come with its new surprises, and I will just continue to go along with them, documenting it along the way. Here’s a look back at September, 2020….
A very hearty congratulations to my dear friend Cassie who, with her husband Michael, has just purchased her first home here in San Francisco. I was very honored to be asked (by a fellow photographer!) to capture some portraits for them in the new space. I’m looking forward to all the future gatherings that will…
Oh, how quickly things change. The hallmark of August was my first-ever backpacking trip, which just happened to coincide with the very unexpected and extreme lightning storms that subsequently lit California on fire. Well, I’m glad to report that we are totally fine. But here’s a look through another wild month of 2020: Garden bounty…
I usually don’t get around to posting these recaps until the end of the following month, which is quite unfortunate, because 2020 is quickly outpacing my ability to remember what these past realities were like. But here goes, a look back to July, a month in which we took four different outdoor excursions around California…
Yannie and Howard met through mutual friends in their neighborhood and their church. They became friends first, hanging out here and there for a year until a group trip to the Winter Olympics in Korea brought them closer and provided the perfect setting for Howard to ask Yannie to be his girlfriend. When it came…
