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.

The Fall 440 Sessions Are Here!
Autumn is sneaking through the backdoor again! With so many warm days, it’s hard to believe that the months have slipped away. I don’t want to let go of my summer reveries. It’s no use denying the obvious, though: the kids are back in school, baseball is in post-season, and pumpkins are becoming ubiquitous. Time… Read More
Getting to know Lucille and Dustin | Beloved Photos
There’s only one thing I needed to know about Lucille and Dustin and I was totally endeared to them. Their favorite date movie is “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”. BOOM. That’s all I needed to know.

Earl and Edward | Beloved Engagement Shoot Oakland CA
I met Edward at a wedding I did this year (shoutouts to Rome and Rochelle). He made quite an impression on me during the wedding party portraits, as he declared to me, “I”m the token gay wedding party member, make me look good!” I’ll have to admit – he was the most fabulous one there… Read More

In the meantime, I found this image I totally forgotten that I’d taken. The photograph was taken at a wedding at Villa Vizcaya in Watsonville,… Read More
Meet Caitlin and her beloved.
One perk about my job as a photographer is that I get to meet new people every day! And while I describe myself as an introvert masquerading as extrovert, I’m never shy to dig deeper into one person’s life. Every detail about a person is amazing to me, and their history is worth listening to…. Read More
{Belong} Family Session | Avery | Oakland CA
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.
Sneak Peek: Claudia + James {Beloved Experience}
Photographing a photographer is amongst the most nerve-wracking experiences ever. I hope I did you good by you, Claudia. To my dear friend and her beloved, a sneak peek on the day of your 10th anniversary. Congratulations!
