What! November 16! The year is flying by so quickly. I wish I had a pensieve (hello Harry Potter fans!) so I could store my collective memories and access them as desired. Good thing we have photography and mini-sessions instead to capture these beautiful autumn days and images of family love. My 440 Fall Mini-sessions… Read More

S Family | Joaquin Miller Park | Belong Mini-Session
The S Family was so amazingly warm and kind to each other, it’s difficult not to get awesome photos of them. And it was a perfect November morning, it can’t get any better than this. Dylan and Bryce. Such handsome kids. Future heart-breakers, I’m sure.

D. Family | Berkeley | {Belong Family Session}
Every family has a unique dynamic and it’s my job to capture that in photos. I loved photographing the lovely D. family around Berkeley. Not only where they a super cute family, their energy and laughter totally enveloped the scene. It was one of those special family sessions when at the end, I wished they… Read More

Sneak peek into a recent child and family session I did! I photographed Daisy and Tuan’s wedding a few years back. It always warms my heart that I get to witness families grow and love.
Liz + Art, 50 Years of Wedded Bliss
I was so honored to photograph a beautiful portrait reflecting 50 years of wedded bliss, via the recent wedding anniversary of Art + Liz. I swear, their eyes just lit up at the sight of one another. Really, I feel truly blessed to be witness to this enduring kind of love. Happy Anniversary, Art and… Read More
