Reminds me of that old Sesame street segment – w…wah…wahh…Wilhemina! March 17 was one wet and windy day, not exactly the ideal weather situation when you have bridal portraits planned for Yerba Buena Garden. Good thing the couple chose the uberchic W Hotel San Francisco as their wedding venue. So stylish, modern, sleek. Every corner… Read More

Anatomy of an Editorial Shoot
It always amazes me how an idea can grow. It all starts with a single piece of inspiration – something said or heard, a passing image from the billboard while driving into the city, or maybe a witty status update seen on Facebook. This single idea grows in your head and eventually makes it way… Read More

On task was event coverage of a book signing and intimate lunch with American author, TV host and chef Anthony Bourdain. He was promoting his latest book “Medium Raw” and I was… Read More

Crown and Crumpet Tea Salon
Time for tea? As a staunch coffee drinker, I met the idea of a tea party with some skepticism. The evite came from a friend in my mom’s group some months ago, with the tongue-in-cheek instructions to wear white gloves and a spring dress. Panic rose within me — my pinky finger was out of… Read More
Yap Family Pictorial @ Golden Gate Park Music Concourse

My own kids tagged along and it was a semi-playdate, semi-pictorial rolled into you. Afterwards, we headed to California Academy of Science to eat lunch and… Read More
