HEARTFELT, INTENTIONAL IMAGERY

THE
GALLERIES

Welcome to the archives. The heart of my work, where you can find some of my favorite photographs I've ever taken. Whether it's a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, or an at-home maternity session, I hope you can feel the nostalgia of the passing seasons of life, and the joy of being able to relive a little bit of that through these photographs.

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.

Its only March, and you may be asking, isnt it a little early for graduation photos?

Dahee was eager to book a maternity/family photoshoot for her second baby. We chose to met at Crissy Field in the Presidio in San Francisco, as this location holds a lot of meaning for Dahees family. The splendid backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge also makes for an iconic background; after all, this baby is very much made in San Francisco.
