I met with Alexis and Adam for the second time today for their engagement shoot at Panther Beach (the first when we chatted about wedding stuff back in February). I was worried because of the whitecaps I was seeing on the ocean while driving up Hwy 1, but then I remembered Alexis’ short hair, and […]

It was cold. It was windy. It was freakin’ gorgeous. And my couple of the day? Handsome and stunning. The less-than-ideal weather meant less looky-loos at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, so we pretty much had this Moss Beach location all to ourselves for Tania and Michael’s engagement photography session. This is one of the few locations […]

This was my first wedding at Mission Ranch in Carmel, and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to work with at Clint Eastwood’s amazing wedding venue. The expansive green fields grazed by poofy white sheep provide an idyllic backdrop for an outdoor wedding near the ocean. There’s plenty of private bungalows on the […]

I hadn’t met Sandy or Sanjay before their wedding day, so I was a little apprehensive about what to expect. When I met Sandy, […]

Ly really just wanted to be able to wear high heels for her engagement shoot. Fair enough, I thought, but then I started thinking about all the places I shoot. Dirt, sand, hills… yeah, not as easy as I thought. So then I thought of Villa Montalvo in Saratoga and my friends who work there, […]

It can always be a little nerve-wracking to meet your photographic subjects for the first time on the day of your shoot. It’s kind of like a first date – are they nice? What do they look like? Will it be easy or challenging to pose them? These worries dissipated soon after meeting Sarah and […]

Ah, my weakness – food photography. I love hanging out in the kitchen with the chef and all the crew that make the restaurant run like a well-tuned machine. Usually I shoot in the public restaurant area, but since The Westin’s former restaurant Ducca is getting a facelift and rebranding (new name is Maso, a clever […]
