When I first moved my business to Santa Cruz four years ago, Kianti’s quickly became one of my family’s favorite restaurants. They have a kid-friendly atmosphere (the kids each receive a hunk of pizza dough when you sit down), the service is prompt and courteous (they enjoy a very low turnover rate among employees), and […]

This is evening two of my two-day Fogo de Chão photo shoot – check out the evening one results here. I’ve shot quite a few Bay Area Brazilian churrascarias (steakhouses), so I’m no stranger to their gaucho servers and skewers of hot-from-the-oven hunks of meat. The food is delicious and the experience is one-of-a-kind. I […]

The food is delicious and the experience is one-of-a-kind. I was honored to work on behalf of my friends at Wagstaff to shoot the latest restaurant opening for their client […]

Last time I photographed Kaitlin, she was a mere 1-month old, now look at her! She’s super adorable, and I had an awesome time photographing her with her parents at Henry Cowell State Park in Felton, California. She even got to ride on a ranger’s horse – how lucky! She sported some really cute outfits […]

Even though the weather dropped 20 degrees and became overcast an hour before our business portrait photography session was scheduled to begin, Heather was ready to brave the elements to get the shoot done! After a brief wardrobe consultation, we drove to the bluff that overlooks Capitola beach and the ocean. Even though most of […]

I shot Kaelin and Jayson’s wedding last Fall, so she is no stranger to my photographic style and capabilities. I was humbled when she contacted me a couple weeks ago to take some head shots / business portraits of her. She told me she was bravely stepping into the world of Real Estate, and needed […]

John and Uyen’s San Jose wedding is only six weeks away, so getting their engagement shoot scheduled was imperative! Luckily we were all able to synchronize our busy schedules to make it happen today. They decided on Gray Whale Cove State Beach. It’s hard to find because there’s no signs (that I know of) that […]

These two got engaged yesterday, and since they’re both active military (Air Force), they had 48 hours to fit an engagement session in. I pulled a few strings and moved a few things around, but was glad it all worked out. Fallon is also training to compete in bodybuilding competitions, so she definitely had a striking […]

Wow, there were so many keepers from this romantic and sexy engagement session, I had such a hard time picking my favorites. Cliff pulled some strings to get a last-minute photo permit to shoot at Natural Bridges, one of Santa Cruz’s most amazing natural parks; it’s got it all – fields, pine trees, sycamore groves, […]

Kianti’s just held their 10th anniversary, a commendable achievement for any business, no less a restaurant! The amazing thing I realized about this group of employees is how loyal they are. Most of the managers recognized had been there the majority of the time, with a few being there from day one. Co-owners Tracy and […]
