I was so looking forward to Rebecca and Brett’s wedding, and it did not disappoint! Before the ceremony, Rebecca’s dad told me the wedding was finally here! Rebecca and Brett have been together since high school. And their wedding has been months in the making. I’m sure the “finally” sentiment was shared by many. Rebecca […]
I don’t usually shoot Senior Sessions on Tuesdays around 1 pm. But on one Tuesday, the rest of the high school got the day off while the Juniors took the ACT. Luckily, Abriana’s a senior and didn’t have to do that and could instead come to take senior photos with me. Abriana has the best […]
I’ve known Rachel since she was three. She’s my best friend’s little sister! I remember all our kid games and home-movies we made. And it’s crazy that she’s all grown up now! She’ll be starting college in the fall. She and her siblings are ethnically 1/4 Japanese, but the rest of the family just look […]
I’M TEACHING A CLASS AT BERKELEY!!! This has been a project in progress for almost a year, and I’m so excited to finally announce it officially. This Spring Semester, Kim Ambrocio, Navid Jawad, and I are co-facilitating a decal! They’re actually photo gods & my love language is bringing people food. If you’re a Berkeley […]
I dabbled in photography in high school, and then really committed to the business in 2017. I’m so lucky that 2018 was just as amazing, and I’m excited to pull back the curtain and share my 2nd ever BTS post <3 This year has been amazing and as I look back through these images, I […]
Prepare to see just the best-dressed and best-looking couple. Mayur is from D.C. and Mamta is from Southern California. They’re getting married in SoCal, but they wanted to capture the city where they met for Engagement Photos. They wanted to have a nature and an urban location, and for both to be very “Bay Area.” […]
It’s been a hot second since I shot for fun. And like the last time I photographed recreationally, I reached out to dancers. They’re just made for the camera. I reached out to Head-Royce, a high school in Oakland and had a wonderful time coordinating some magic with the captains of the dance team. This […]
For my sixteenth birthday, I asked for a photoshoot with my two best friends. I stressed hard about what to wear. I wanted to make the most of my photo opportunity, but I was overwhelmed by planning for it. Your clients probably feel the same way. Most people can recognize when something looks good, but […]
No need for Berkeley goggles here <3 Maurice and Christina met in college. During junior year, he walked her home and almost ten years later, they’re getting married. They came back to Cal for their Engagement Photos and reminisced about their early relationship and memories of school. Supposedly being on campus is a lot more […]
A couple of mine didn’t have a wedding party. I’d never heard of someone doing that before. But the more I thought about it, I loved the idea. I loved it so much that I didn’t have bridesmaids/groomsmen for my own wedding. You don’t need to think about coordinating dresses. Picking friends. Putting them in […]
