Window Pane

This month, noosa yoghurt invited me to try some “noo” things in the city. Living in San Francisco, there’s never a shortage of new things to try. We settled on a hip hop dance show at the Palace of Fine Arts, since Omied and I were going to be there to shoot family portraits for …

Villfranche-sur-Mer

Since we were going to be in the South of France for a few days during our honeymoon, a fellow Francophile coworker of mine recommended the charming town of Villfranche-sur-Mer. We spent one afternoon in this sleepy little town and fell in love with its Italian-style villas and tiny boat harbor. This turquoise dress fit …

petit déjeuner

JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.I still can’t believe that this was our daily morning scene for five days during our honeymoon. Salty breezes, perfect temperatures, bed head and a spread of French desserts to go with our morning coffee. We slept with the windows open so that …

Happiest Holiday

  It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next Thursday! I literally can’t even with how fast this year has gone by. After turkey day passes, it’s practically the holidays. Every year I tell myself that we’ll send out holiday cards, and most years the season just zooms by and before I know it, it’s …

Giverny

 When I studied abroad in Paris, Giverny was on my list of places to visit, but I never made it out to this quaint little town. During our honeymoon, we made a day trip out to visit Claude Monet’s house and beautiful gardens where he used to be inspired by and paint the gorgeous scenery …

Mediterranean

These photos are from our very first day in beautiful Nice. We had a relaxing day where we rented front row lounge chairs at Plage Beau Rivage. Nice is filled with private beaches, and while normally we would make the trek to find a nice public beach where we could set up shop for free, …

Living Proof

Fall is finally in the air here in San Francisco! We brought out little space heater out of hibernation from the back of our closet, and got out the extra throw blankets for our couch. And while I was sad at first to see our Indian summer go so quickly (the warm weather literally changed …

Grand Trianon

These photos were from a day spent exploring Versaille. This part of Versaille is The Grand Trianon, where the King had a “little” get away house for when he needed to have a retreat from the palace. Because you know, sometimes all that gold can get overwhelming. For a comfortable but chic outfit for a …

Sunset on the Seine

We shot these photos during one of our many evening strolls along the Seine. I miss Paris so much!! One of my best friends is now on her honeymoon in the City of Lights, and it’s amazing to see how much the leaves have changed in just a few weeks since we were there. That …
