We have been fortunate to befriend the pastors of Restoration Church in San Diego. During the chaos of the last few months, they and the team at Restoration Church helped to keep us sane and full of hope. How soft and golden is the stunning light at the Old Cactus Garden at Balboa Park? San […]
San Diego has so many awesome and beautiful beaches! Some might even say that ALL of San Diego’s beaches are amazing. Erika, an amazing event planner, (https://bloomandblueprint.com/), reached out asking about extended family sessions, I was over the moon and thrilled to help them capture this special occasion. The family chose San Diego to celebrate […]
For Mother’s Day I thought it would be good to make a blog post which includes a few mothers 🙂 Extended family shoots do not often cross my path in the Bay Area. Having multiple generations continue to call the Bay Area home is a bit of a unicorn, Therefore I was very excited when […]
Newborn sessions with first time parents are very rewarding. There is so much “behind the scenes” work, just to get those great first newborn shots.

My dearest friend HelanĂ©, This blog post is in loving memory and honor of your dear husband and our friend, SĂ©an. The hugs he gave and his arms around your sweet girls, the way he looked at them and the way he spoke so proudly about them is replaying in my mind. I did not know […]
I simply love the diversity of San Francisco Bay Area. Every now and then, I learn something new from other cultures. One of my recent clients provided such learning experience. In South Korea, baby’s 100th day is a big celebration. 100th day is a special milestone in Korean culture because in the olden days, many babies didn’t survive […]
