The Bay Area is a great place to experience all kinds of culinary delights from all around the world, and Walnut Creek is becoming a hotspot for foodies who enjoy a great night out.

I would personally highly recommend their Mushroom Tacos which were bursting with flavor along with their “Old Mexico” (Their take on the “Old Fashioned ..read more

The sunsets have been amazing in the South Bay lately, and I’ve been trying to make there most of my time living so close to the ocean. From riding my bike along the strand, to taking long walks on the beach while trying to capture the beauty of this beach life, it’s been an amazing time. I was so delighted to catch up with Angela Sun, who had worked with me in the past on my “Underwater Sports” series, and I got to meet her lovely husband for a fun photoshoot by the pier. They were so fun to work with and capturing their happiness was so effortless. I wish them the best with their baby boy w ..read more

I only have a few weeks before I get to meet my own mini-me, and I have already spend several hours thinking about all the photoshoots I’m going to have at the house when she/he’s born.

On our recent short trip to Arizona, we got a chance to visit a magical and awe-inspiring place in Arizona called Arcosanti. We were on our way to Sedona, and after stopping at a gas station at the end of a long 10hr day on the road, we decided to sleep in our van somewhere close and realized quickly that we had accidentally stopped at the exit leading to this little haven in the desert. We had also received one of the famous bells they sell there as a wedding gift and thought it would be great to visit this unique landmark, Since I couldn't describe this place better than the people who cr ..read more
