Fair warning – this will probably be the longest blog I ever post, but when you photograph your sister’s wedding, you take ALL the photos and do a terrible job at narrowing them down because these photos aren’t just for my sister Elisa and brother-in-law Craig. They are also for me. And for the people […]

The last few months of my 2015 seemed to move at lightning speed. On top of my day job and spending time with family, I photographed a few more weddings, talked to couples about 2016 weddings, and fulfilled a dream of mine by traveling to India on a photo field trip. I’m sure I could […]

One year ago, on our sixth anniversary, we both willingly chose to commit ourselves and our lives to each other in front of the people that mean the most to us. While seven years is just the beginning, seven years is a long time to love someone, and committing to continue loving that same person takes courage […]

This weekend I took photos for myself. I took too many photos of my beautiful 11-month old nephew, who attended SF Pride with me, and ended with a few portraits of one of my gorgeous sisters. As a photographer, carrying my fancy camera around with me can be a hassle, and I end up taking more personal […]

“If you don’t make the time to work on creating the life you want,you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.” -Kevin Ngo While I may have just found this quote on Pinterest, I wholeheartedly believe in it. We all know that time flies by so […]

I was one of those typical people. You know, the ones who find a photographer they love, stress over what to wear on the day of the engagement session, don’t know what to do with their hands, and leave the session happy, but with that small feeling in the back of their head that says, […]

While most of my family is in California, a few of them are in the midwest. And although I’ve never gotten used to the distance, it’s even harder now that our family is growing. Thankfully, social media and photo texts makes the distance seem closer. But what’s better than photo texts?! Meeting my cousin Alaynne’s […]

Sometimes, when I get too deep into my head, I go down the rabbit hole of worry and doubt. Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing in this life? Am I not doing enough? Am I where I’m supposed to be? If I had moved outside of this city I love by now, […]

The idea of setting up goals has always scared me. At the end of December, my fiancé brought up the idea of us setting some goals for 2014 and I’m pretty sure I gave her the “side eye” (similar to the look our dog Jasper gives us when we tell him it’s not dinner time […]

Most of my personal photos are taken on my trusty iPhone, which is not surprising as I’m not the most patient person. I’m also in love with the vscocam iPhone app, so I love my iPhone photos just as much as I love taking photos on my DSLR. But this Labor Day weekend I decided […]
