Layers of years filled the boxes that now line the halls of our new apartment. Moving is never easy and is always a bit overwhelming. But it’s been almost a week now and things are settling down. Going through my life (the boxes), I realized I was truly meant to be a photographer.  I picked […]

Martina said, “Palace of Fine Arts! That’s where we want to do our engagement shoot.” Perfect, I thought. The Palace of Fine Arts is so quintessential San Francisco and it has such fond memories for me. When we were kids my parents used to take my sister and I there. We lived closed by and would […]

Aimee and PaulHacienda De Las Flores Aimee’s face lights up when she sees Paul, and when Paul looks at Aimee it’s likes she is the only person in the room. The first time I met Aimee and Paul was on their wedding day and I could tell in the first few minutes these two people […]

Tien and Mike’s Wedding Rockafeller Lodge San Pablo CA The great thing about being a wedding photographer (besides getting to taste an incredible variety of cakes) is all the amazing personal touches people do for their weddings.

Kinda like applying make-up to […]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. – John Lennon One of my favorite quotes from the great Mr John Lennon. Life is so busy. I find myself always thinking about A Girl and A Camera, coming up with new ideas, staying on top of the latest and greatest and running […]

They say love thy neighbor? Well, I have to say I have some great neighbors…. A friend of mine wanted to know how to use her camera. Not just point and shoot it, but really know how it works. She asked if I could help her out, so I set up a little workshop for […]

This is Emme. You might be seeing a lot of her. She’s my niece and my favorite new subject. Here are a few I snapped the other day. She’s pretty cute and I’m not just saying that because she’s my niece. I wonder if she’s going to love having the camera in her face all […]
