Hansuh and Daniel hosted 25 of their closest family and friends at their intimate wedding in Palo Alto. Their ceremony at Grace Presbyterian Church was followed by a cozy lunch reception at Vesta restaurant, located in downtown Redwood City. Rich in personal significance, their day embodied true intimacy and closeness of community.

This sweet family session at Gamble Garden has my heart so full! Monica and Jeff brought their girls (and their beloved pup!) to explore the grounds on a warm July evening in Palo Alto, and the resulting images feel like pure magic.

Morning light filtered through the Arizona Cactus Garden in Palo Alto, during this multi-generational family photo session. Nicole and Mark brought their 10 month old daughter Kaia, home to the Bay Area from their current base in the UK. This photo session was with Nicole’s family – her mom and her two brothers. The morning light added a fresh, bright vibe to these family photos.

Lareine chose the lush Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto for her maternity photo location. She wanted both a blend of posed maternity portraits, as well as some candids and posed family photos with her husband and two year old son. If youre considering taking maternity photos in the SF Bay Area, I highly recommend Gamble Gardens as a location! Its flat, well paved, and full of beautiful blooms especially in the spring and early summer months.

If youre wanting to update your family photos with a garden background, look no further than Filoli in Woodside, CA. Its the photo-perfect garden in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a family photographer, I rate it highly for its variety of backgrounds, large parking lots (the logistics matter), and flat, paved paths.

Filoli is a top location for family photo sessions in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this session, we took some updated family photos for the Roberts, and their 2 year old Jane stole the show. Jane has so much energy and independence – from the confident stomp-stomp in her summer sandals, and the quiet examination of every pebble and stick in her path, to the decisive waves of her small hands telling us all where to stand (yes including me with my camera). Im honored to contribute to the Roberts heirlooms and their familys journey, and I look forward to seeing their future seasons of life.

When Kim first reached out, she mentioned that she loved how my photos captured the essence of the moment, in a romantic, dreamy way. I kept this in mind as we explored the west part of Crissy Field in the haze of the golden hour light. It was so easy to photograph these two whether it was a simple prompt like walk towards me holding hands or a pose holding each others hands in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, they made every moment their own.

I had the pleasure of capturing Moonyoung and John’s beautiful Bay Area wedding. The day began with a heartfelt Catholic ceremony at the Church of the Nativity in Menlo Park. The celebration continued with reception at the charming Los Altos History Museum.

Sharon and Andrews beachside maternity photoshot at Montara State Beach, to celebrate a new and exciting season in their journey together as family. It was a gloomy and windy day, but it made these photos all the more majestic.

Its only March, and you may be asking, isnt it a little early for graduation photos? Well, Tatum reached in January to schedule a graduation photoshoot on the Stanford quad, and it turns out shes graduating a quarter early this March! On top of that she is also graduating as human biology major (aka pre-med). […]
