Shannon and Greg are a fun, easygoing couple who aren’t afraid to roll with my crazy ideas. They wanted to have an engagement shoot at a beach in Santa Cruz, so after looking through some recent e-sessions I’ve done around the area, they settled on 3-Mile Beach. It’s a couple miles out of town, a […]

I love dogs. Puppies are especially adorable, but there are over 30 boxers right now that need a home from Norcal Boxer Rescue Organization. These cute pups below are Heath, Reese and Patty (notice the theme?). These dogs and more all need loving homes, and I’m hoping these photos will speak to your inner canine-lover […]

My friends at Franco Uomo just opened their new business at Santana Row – and it’s called San Francisco Shirt Company. It’s high-end, fashionable, and mostly for the ladies. I took some interiors and details of the store last week, and today was the official grand opening, replete with a red carpet fashion show (models […]

Franco Uomo’s got a brand new bag – or rather, clothing store – at Santana Row. It’s called San Francisco Shirt Company, and it’s hot. In fact, they’re having a fashion show on December 16, 2010 to celebrate the grand opening of the new store, and I have a few photographs to show you blog […]

Tallulah is in the same class as my oldest daughter – so it goes without saying how T’s mom found out about this photography thing I do. We’d had to take a couple rain checks (literally), so I was glad we finally got a day and time we could shoot without umbrellas, although that would […]

Le Papillon restaurant had their annual get together of wedding industry professionals – this year at the new Boulder Ridge Country Club & Golf Course in South San Jose. It was great to meet so many new people, as well as get reacquainted with some old friends. There was a lot of talent in that […]

My good friend Joelle Cruz and wife Ana just held their grand opening event at their new boutique hat store named BRIM. It’s located in the Town and Country Shopping Center at the corner of Embarcadero and El Camino in Palo Alto, CA. This event was catered (awesome desserts by Mason Cookery), with a fashion […]

OK, so this shoot required some kind of sensational headline. To be honest, college girls aren’t exactly my target demographic, but in the next few years they could all be potential bride-clients, so you never know. Regardless, we all had a blast shooting at the fogged-in Capitola Beach this morning. It was 10am when we […]

Sue wanted a special gift for her birthday this year, so she hired a pro photographer (yours truly) to help celebrate ten years of being together.

Usually my family photography happens outdoors – at the park, beach, forest, field – you get the picture (har har). But newborns don’t like to go out in December – they prefer the warmth of a mother’s embrace, so Vanessa & David pumped up the heat to prepare two-week-old Dawson for the indignities of his […]

These little guys had a lot of fun playing with each other, running around the beach and chasing mom with sticks. Ah, boys will be boys! I ran around with them, doing my best to capture the moments. They were good enough to even pose for a few shots under the wharf, which turned out […]

It’s been several years since I last shot at Ristorante Don Giovanni in Mountain View. It’s a pretty tasty place to visit, definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and looking for some italian cuisine. During this shoot, we got some new food/drink photos, some portraits of the owner, John Akkaya, some interiors […]

Craig and Danielle are good friends of mine, and they have a beautiful baby boy named Vaden that now commands all their waking attention. But really, Vaden is the most mellow kid – my offspring were never so chill outside of REM sleep. He’s not only easygoing, but cute as hell, and these photos prove […]

When I met up with this great little fam at Natural Bridges, I knew this little girl, Riley, was gonna make me earn my money – she’s got spunk, a little firecracker – and I loved photographing her. She breathes life into the family, much to her parents’ frustration at times I’m sure – but […]
