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.

My friend Minh
The summer just flew by and my poor blog has been neglected once again. I’ve been writing a post in my head, assembling the “Best of Summer 2011” images but for now, that’s all it is. Just in my head. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about mothering, friendships and my dear friend… Read More
Beloved Family Photography | Joaquin Miller Park Oakland
The first time I met the T. family was a maternity-family shoot in Hayward. Danielle was about 7 months pregnant at the time and soon after, I photographed then 2-week old baby Hazel. I hadn’t set eyes on them since then and I was so suprrised to see how much she and older sister Ruby… Read More
Insanely Cute Twin Girls
This is my second time to photograph twins I and S and I swear, they keep getting cuter every time I see them. We headed to Joaquin Miller Park for their annual family pictorial and the girls were absolutely curious about everything – wanting to inspect every fountain, tree and staircase. In between their explorations,… Read More
Hello Oakland! | Family Session @ Joaquin Miller Park
I haven’t made the official announcement but we (meaning me, my family and the business) are now officially based in Oakland. YAY. We will miss everybody back in Fremont/Union City but it’s time we moved on. Besides, we are only 20 miles away. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions buying our dream house on a… Read More
Bret and Mak Version 3.0
I love children. It must be my penchant for new things. Everybody loves a new bag or a new car – but new people? How is possible that some people NOT like children? Whenever I meet a child and they share something with me that they know, it just boggles my mind. Only a few… Read More
Milo and the Case of the Terrible Twos
I’m the terrible mom of two. It’s absolutely true that every succeeding child you have, the less time you will devote to that child – picturewise. And this coming from me, a professional photographer! So the story is Milo, my second son, turned two years old last January. And while we celebrated the day in… Read More
Seeing Double
OMG! Such pretty four year old twin girls were the focus of my attention (and my camera) one fine morning in Palo Alto. Now one may ask how does a photographer handle two active and fast little subjects? The answer is to be fast and active too! I. and S. definitely kept me on my… Read More
Behind the Scenes
Or perhaps this post should be entitled “aka My backside.” As a stereotypical photographer, I am rarely in photos. It’s not that I am shy to be in front of the camera. It’s just there aren’t a lot of opportunities. So one big question I’ve had (and perhaps a bit narcissistic of me) is “What… Read More
Toombs Maternity-Family Session
Sunday morning @ 8:30 am and I was greeted by three smiling faces, not at all perturbed by the early time. I knew I was off to a great start! Not only were they an adorable & gorgeous family, the Toombs exuded a genuine warmth and kindness that definitely reflected in their photos. I was… Read More
