Kathy needed an updated headshot for professional use, so we met at the Museum of Art and History in downtown Santa Cruz. There’s a courtyard around back with some interesting backgrounds for neutral to organic and industrial looks. This was a super-quick portrait session as the need was very specific and the timing was last-minute. […]

The Hyatt rebranded one of their hotels in Santa Clara and called me up to get some architectural photos of it. I showed up a little before sunset, and stayed until a little after to get that nice light us photographers always look for. Luckily there were clouds in the sky to add some visual […]

“They” say food is the hardest thing to shoot. Well I guess “they” never had to deal with screaming toddlers and stressed out parents during a photo session! I suppose if my client was a fast food joint and the food they serve looks decidedly less erect than shown in marketing materials, then yeah, I […]

Dr. Bindi needed some updated portraits of himself and his staff at Eye Center of Silicon Valley (which, I might add, is a stellar company). Everyone is very friendly, and even though nobody was fighting to be first in front of the camera, everyone gave it their best. Thanks guys, see you next time! Looking […]

I shot Erin’s fabulous Roaring 20s wedding last year, and the cool thing about doing great work for clients is that they come back to you. It so happens that Erin needed some portraits for career purposes, so we set a date in January. We almost postponed due to the forecast for rain, but we […]

The UPS store chain has an upcoming television advertising campaign, and the last five seconds of each corporate commercial is devoted to the local store owners.

I had a portrait session with Bella last year at Natural Bridges, but both mom and grandma wanted a formal portrait of Bella in her dress that mimicked the photos they have of themselves from their first communions. Being nine and growing like a weed, we had to get the shot done quickly before she […]

Oh. My. God. Little 2yo Veronica is simply adorable! She was a little shy at first, not sure what to think about me (see first photo below), but after a couple minutes she was all smiles. It doesn’t hurt that I’m not ashamed to dance for small children. Or anyone, really, but I digress. I […]

Peggy and Lance are both into cameras, Lance himself specializing in nighttime architectural photography. But as is always the case in this situation, they really don’t have any photos of the two of them together. Enter: Me. We took a stroll during their lunch break through Fall Creek, just off Highway 9 in Felton. Here’s […]

We had so much fun with our first engagement shoot at Panther Beach we decided to do it AGAIN! Ok, so most brides that hire me are usually content with just one engagement session before their big day, but Samantha says she never gets photos of the two of them – and of course I’m […]

You know how pregnant women often have that special “glow” – well Kim brought her glowiness and fantastic attitude to this remote, semi-treacherous beach to get some photos taken with her hubby Jon. They hadn’t ever been to Panther Beach so it was exciting to introduce this seductive little cove to them. I’m sure Juliana […]

Angela and Josiah’s wedding is coming up next month so we figured we should get that engagement shoot taken care of straight quick. We met at the Palace of Fine Arts up in San Francisco as they’re both fans of architecture – I’m usually there in the evening but it was really fun to explore […]
