A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to spend some time with Harry + Lauren and family for a session. It’s been amazing to watch this beautiful family grow over the years. Their baby girl was such a sweetheart throughout our time together and it shows in these photos! Zero and Zoe did a good job as big brother and sister, too.
Renuka and Craig had a gorgeous seaside wedding ceremony and reception in Carmel at the Highlands Inn. I’m glad I had the chance to shoot this wedding with the talented Andrew Lin.
Enjoy!
Rummaged through my files and stumbled upon some of these portraits that I meant to post a year ago!
This week I had the chance to attend NightLife at the California Academy of Sciences. I’ve heard really good things about it, and for $10, it was definitely worth a visit. The doors opened at 6:00 p.m.; we arrived about 1/2 an hour later. :P By the time we got there, seats for the planetarium were all gone. I was a little bummed, but there was still so much to see! My only advice would be to GET THERE EARLY. Get there earlier than early – maybe 5:00-ish to guarantee passes to the planetarium and free street parking. It was much more crowded than I expected, but again, for $10, I really could not complain! All in all, it was a great experience and I would definitely go for another visit!

[below] ·· I think this was a rattlesnake. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
[below] ·· Guess who!
[below] ·· Check out those gills.
[below] ·· The Giant Chinese Salamander – it’s crazy big. At first glance, I couldn’t tell the front from the back.
[below] ·· Uni. Yum?
[below] ·· I forget what this is. Does anyone know?
[below] ·· I hope nothing bad happened to the previous tenant…
[below] ·· The Giant Bass. These huge fish live to be up to 100 years. They continue growing as they age. This particular one is at least 165 pounds at 70 years old. Woah.
[below] ·· The previous picture doesn’t do the bass’ name justice. Here is the side-by-side with James.
[below] ·· One more of the Giant Bass. I really could not get enough of it. It was so intriguing to me.

Today marks TWO - two years of wedded bliss to my very best friend, James. We had an eventful day full of no alarm clocks, breakfast in bed, a sushi picnic, a leisurely bike ride along the water, La Farine treats, Noodle Theory and a celebratory root beer float (of course)! It was perfection.
[below] ·· Some camera fun on our anniversary.
[below] ·· James insisted on jumping pictures. I gladly obliged.
This journey has been amazing and I look forward to the many years to come.
