Calero County Park is a little hidden gem that is tucked back into the hills of Northern California. This lake side engagement session had the perfect sunset, with warm tones and cotton candy skies. The Bay Area has some amazing locations, and the Calero Reservoir is one of my favorites. This traditional engagement […]

  On October 3, 2019, I had the honor of photographing the love between Anne & Mitch. This traditional, Catholic wedding took place at the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Burlingame, California. The bride and her bridesmaids got ready at the elegant Burlingame Country Club before the ceremony, and all guest returned for […]

  To be honest, I didn’t really know too much about Bali when I decided to spend my 30th birthday out there. Truly, I tagged along on Robyns trip and sort of did a “go with the flow” adventure.  She really wanted to explore Nusa Penida, but by the time we started to get everything […]

This is when I hate having dietary restrictions because I would have loved to try everything Chef Nic Vanderbeeken created here at Aperitif on the property of the Viceroy Bali. He has designed an 8 course prix fixe menu and combines flavors from Bali and other regions of the world in ways you couldn’t imagine […]

The Viceroy Bali holds a very special place in my heart because this is where my parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary while renewing their vows in Bali. It’s been over 5 years, and they still rave about their time spent at this exquisite property. For my 30th birthday, I decided to treat myself to […]

In honor of what’s going on today in Hong Kong, I felt it was best to share what I experienced on my visit before recapping everything else from my grand summer adventure. Today marks the 11th weekend of protesting against main land China, and from what I can see it’s only getting worse. For those of […]

Robyn and I had been traveling so much at this point, and we didn’t want to move. I knew staying by the beach would be a great way to end this grand adventure. Since Bali isn’t really known for it beaches, there are only so many places you can go to have a beach retreat. […]

Peg Leg Porker I flew in really late to Nashville, and of course I was starving. Peg Leg Porker was not only walking distance to my hotel, but it was open SUPER late. 100% a great way to start off my southern food pilgrimage through Nashville. I highly recommend the half rack of rib! Hattie […]

Cash Museum If you are planning on being in downtown Nashville for drinks, I recommend stumbling into the Johnny Cash Museum. There is also a Patsy Cline has an exhibit upstairs. Sadly, I didn’t get the chance to explore it, but I’m sure its just as informative and visually appealing as the Cash museum downstairs. […]

When I was doing research on where to stay in Nashville, I was looking for convince, but most importantly, I wanted to make sure I had a luxurious experience…without paying over-the-top prices.  Truly, the Westin was the perfect choice for my weekend getaway to Tennessee.  Located right in the Gulch, and walking distance to downtown […]
