Meet-cute: wedding. Tina was a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding, when her friend, the bride, called her and Alex out in her speech for being single. Alex came over to say hi, and they started a bicoastal long-distance relationship between New York and San Francisco, until Tina joined him in San Francisco. They’ve traveled the…
After hours of delayed flights from Melbourne, we finally reached Sydney, Australia! This was the whole inspiration for the Australia trip: to visit Tiffany and Greg who had moved to Sydney half a year prior, and of course Howard, whose wedding was the reason I visited in 2016. Our friend Tim had also just moved…
Melbourne! I first visited Melbourne three years prior on our whirlwind tour through New Zealand and Australia. My time in Melbourne was brief but wonderful. This time, visiting Australia with Alex, we had different work schedules which meant that he arrived in Melbourne three days before me, we then took off for our road trip…
My great Thanksgiving adventure this year was a jaunt around Australia. We started in Melbourne, and from there rented a car to take a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s analog to our Pacific Coast Highway in California, although perhaps a more concentrated version with epic landscapes along this 150-mile stretch. Our overall…
The Office of Accountability goes camping! We’ve been having monthly meetings with this group for a couple years now. We set goals and meet to go over those goals, keeping each other accountable, hence the name. But for June, we decided to take the show on the road! We took two cars down to Pinnacles…
It’s time to recap May in the Bay! I was around California for most of the month, except my one week in Chicago, so plenty of adventures were had. We start with our Amber Collective planning meeting, where we invited people to help us brainstorm the next event. You can see how it came together…
At the end of May, I was thrilled to travel to Chicago to photograph a wedding. Since it was Memorial Day, I went ahead and extended my stay to a full week so I could wander around the city on my own time. Even though I grew up in the midwest and have visited Chicago…
We continue to day two of my Swiss adventures! From Lucern I took the train over to Bern. Yes, this is a tiny bit out of sequence since it makes a neater loop to go Zurich – Lucern – Alps – Bern – Zurich, but due to some logistical constraints I decided to still visit…
Welcome to Switzerland! This whole visit was prompted by the fact that Icelandair bundles their flights so that a flight to Europe includes a stopover in Iceland for free– so I figured if I was going to Iceland I should really pick a destination to visit in Europe as well! I’d never been to Switzerland,…
It is an absolute honor to hear from my past wedding clients when they’re wanting to do a new portrait session to capture the next phase of their lives together! I photographed Katherine and Josh’s wedding in Los Altos five years ago, and they reached out this year to do a maternity session since they’re expecting…
I am so thankful for this little family and for the support they’ve shown me over the years! This is our fifth shoot together, starting from Joyce and Keven’s engagement session back in 2013. I’m thrilled to keep the tradition going. This year, we opted to do an at-home session in their beautiful Oakland house,…
Memorial Day Weekend was wonderfully spent celebrating my friend Paul’s birthday over at Lake Tahoe. But actually, I had to work both Saturday and Sunday morning, so I joined everyone else a day late and decided to solo staycation for an extra day afterwards too. Tahoe is really so lovely in the summer. See a…
