My name is Annie Tao. I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in lifestyle, commercial and event photography. With lifestyle photography, my style is casual and relaxed - you play, hang out, and just do what you do... and I capture those images! Click here for my bio!
I created this blog to share my personal and professional photos with you and to give my clients a sense of who I am. It is also a place for you to share your thoughts with me, so leave comments! Please check here often to see what I am up to or Subscribe to my blog (RSS Feed). Thanks for visiting!
The first time I heard the Train hit, “Hey Soul Sister”, I thought of Myra. Even now that I know the song is a love story, the recurring words “soul sister” and the peppy beat that always makes me shake my hips undeniably makes me think of my soul twin.
It was recently Myra’s birthday, so we did our usual Twin Day hangout. (Click here to see last year’s Twin Day!)
Twin Day is a day of catching up, indulging in food, and doing anything we feel like that soothes our souls. There is usually a lot of silliness and laughing during Twin Day.
Myra, aka Twin, aka My My, aka Soul Sister
She is one tan lady since her recent beach vacation!
A Delicious Treat
Well, one of the treats!
What’s Interesting?
As we walked around, I shot things that I found interesting, which is usually about light, texture or emotion.
Snap Snap!
Thank you for letting me take photos of you, Myra! And happy birthday!!!
Whether your creative outlet is painting murals, writing novels, singing ballads, citing poetry, sketching still-life, or dancing on your dining table, we all need some inspiration from time to time.
This past week, while on vacation at the coast, my husband took our older kids for a swim. I had planned on taking baby Ava to meet them, but I got caught up taking photographs of her instead. Big surprise, I know!
Ava is as cute as a button. Well, cuter! But taking straight shots of her in a sterile hotel room was a little shy of a big yawn! So I changed my shooting perspective by rotating my body all around her. And voila! I found my inspiration….
Baby Feet
They are just feet, but the way they interact with each other tells a story.
And sometimes they form apretty shape.
It’s like laying on the grass and seeing recognizable shapes in the clouds. Art is everywhere; you just need to look for it.
