Stephanie and Owen wanted their maternity photos taken in the forest, so I suggested the beautiful redwoods in Nisene Marks, located in Aptos. We drove a couple miles in, parked, and proceeded to walk around, stopping here and there to get some cute photos of this lovely couple. Stephanie is due in a less than […]

The Old Whaling Station in Monterey is a beautiful historical property – the kind you drive by all the time without knowing you’ve passed it by. When I arrived early on Ly and Scott’s wedding day, I scoped out the grounds as usual since it was my first time there. There’s the main building, of […]

Wowzers, what a great maternity photo session I had with Meghann. She drove all the way from San Francisco, so I was relieved that the weather was cooperating – as you can see it was simply gorgeous at Capitola Beach. But the true shining star was Meghann and her belly – what a stunner this […]

Crystal and Ben were an absolute joy to work with during their engagement photography session at Fiztgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach. Not only does Ben have awesome hair and Richard Gere-ish good looks, but he plays the guitar too – nice catch, Crystal! She’s a runner, full of smiles, and has a witty and sassy […]

The Sandlund family has been coming to Pajaro Dunes for years as a place for the grown kids and their families to come together and enjoy some quality time together at the beach. This time they decided to hire a professional photographer (me) to get some great portraits of the whole group, as well as […]

Tania and Michael are one of those couples that have natural chemistry, and seem to know what the other is thinking. Tania tends to have this little smile on her face, like there’s always a private joke she’s sharing with her significant other. The first time I really spent some quality time with these two […]

There are quite a few private estates that host weddings in the Santa Cruz mountains, and Rancho Soquel is a hidden gem among them. The property is vast, with well designed regions that give any bride tons of options for her wedding day. Jamie got a whole little house to herself as a bridal suite […]

Lacy and Dustin met me on the concrete bridge at the entrance to Henry Cowell State Park in Felton for their engagement photo shoot. They were both rockin’ the monotone palette with just a splash of Giant’s orange on Dustin’s kicks. We explored the creek, the dirt pathways, hidden groves, and golden fields over the […]

It had been several years since I’d shot a wedding at Monarch Cove Inn – a lovely little venue overlooking the ocean in Capitola, California; so of course I was elated when Molly told me I was her top choice of the photographers she’d interviewed. There are separate suites on the property for the guys […]

It had been quite a few years since these girls last had their photos professionally taken together, and with Morgan off at college, getting them all together would only prove more challenging. It was an overcast day and a little chilly, but the girls had plenty of energy, and I had them run around a […]

I was a little curious why Jullia and Ryan wanted their engagement photos shot at their apartment complex – I mean, an apartment complex? But when I pulled into this palatial community, I could see how the architecture and landscaping made for a really great location for photography. Since we shot during the week while everyone […]

We shoot weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area, and are located in Santa Cruz – so if you’re looking for a photographer […]

Kelsey and her family were visiting Santa Cruz for the first time in many years, so they decided to visit one of their favorite old haunts to get some senior portraits (and a few family photos) of their daughter Kelsey at Natural Bridges. It was fun getting to know the family a little and capture […]

It’s been several years since I shot a wedding at the historical Sesnon House; it’s on the Cabrillo College property, and literally one mile from my house. I’m so used to traveling for weddings it’s a guilty pleasure to have one practically in my back yard. Peggy and Roger are like kindred spirits to me […]

This was actually my first time meeting Stefan and Jennifer as they booked their wedding with me over the phone. They drove all the way up from their home in Visalia for today’s engagement shoot. We were going to shoot at the beach, but it was just so ridiculously windy – and rescheduling was not […]

Molly and Zak found me just in the nick of time for their wedding this month, and although an engagement shoot wasn’t originally on their radar, I practically insisted we try to sneak one in for all the side benefits – a low-key practice session to get some great casual portraits, find out what does […]

Every year I shoot a Tahoe wedding at least once, and I was lucky to work with a cool couple like Kaelin and Jayson. The outdoor ceremony at Lake Tahoe Golf Course had an amazing backdrop, and the weather cooperated beautifully I must say. The reception was held at Riva Grill downtown, where everyone partied […]
