During Christine’s last visit to SF, Ally and I took her to Kirby Cove for some fun shoot at the beach and famous swing. It was slightly chilly/windy that day, but we managed to make it work. Hope you enjoyed the shots!
Adventures with Ally: La Mar Peruvian
I’ve been to a couple of Peruvian restaurants in San Francisco like Frescas and Limon Rotisserie, so I kind of had some expectations coming in to La Mar Cebicheria Peruana. But I was wrong. I was blown away dish after dish starting with the fried plantains and potatoes – which were so amazing, I still think…
Ally Chen | Floral Child
Here’s a fun music festival themed shoot I did with Ally @FashionbyAlly by the Sutro Baths in San Francisco. Her dress is from BooHoo and flower crown (it also lights up at night!) from SoCalbySteph. There were so many tourists in this area who got to see this flower child in action. Did we mention…
Adventures with Ally: Le Marais Bakery
One day, Ally (aka @fashionbyally) texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Le Marais Bakery in Ghirardelli Square. I’ve never heard of it, but I’m always down to eat yummy food and take photos of pretty pastries. I had no idea that I was in for a treat – everything at Le…
Lemonade SF Opening Party
I was super excited to find out that the LA-based restaurant chain Lemonade was finally opening their first store in San Francisco! Even better was that it is located in my favorite shooting / hangout spot in Yerba Buena Gardens / Metreon area! I went with Ally Chen (@fashionbyally) and Rachel Vogt (@rachelvogttrends) yesterday to…
Adventures with Ally: Sand Bar
One of the coolest (and most unreal) places I’ve ever been to is Kaneohe Bay Sandbar in Hawaii. It is a patch of sand in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! I’m still boggled at the idea of a sandy beach in the middle of an ocean, where you could actually feel the difference between…
Adventures with Ally: Lanikai
With so many beaches to choose from, we decided to go to Jenny and Coby’s favorite beach – Lanikai Beach in Kailua. Lanikai means “heavenly sea” and is ranked amongst the best beaches in the world (I looked this up lol). Before we hit the beach, we stopped by for shaved ice at The Local…
Adventures with Ally: Causwells
Last weekend, we celebrated Ally Chen’s 24th birthday dinner at Causwells in The Marina. They had so many amazing selections in their menu, my favorite being the Flounder (which Ally ordered) and their famous burgers! The onion fries were a nice touch as well. Did I mention the deviled eggs were incredible? I highly recommend…
Adventures with Ally: Lake Tahoe
This past weekend, Ally and I decided to join my co-workers for a Lake Tahoe skiing trip. But we thought it would be more fun if we didn’t ski and explore/shoot around Lake Tahoe instead. On our first day, we walked around Heavenly Resort and tried out Heavenly Donuts. They were quite heavenly for sure,…
Adventures with Ally: Healthy New Year
Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you’re all off to an amazing start to 2016! Ally and I decided to do some fun and healthy things for the new year. First we went to the donation center to get rid of some of old stuff. I also realized 75% of the clothes I donated were from…
