Valentine’s Day Salad (Edible Flowers – Food Photography)

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! If you’re looking for something a little different for your sweetie this year (especially if she’s a foodie), try serving her flowers instead of merely delivering them!

Scotts Valley Home (Real Estate Photography)

I don’t shoot a lot of real estate photography. Ok, well I shot this beach house recently. And of course this really, really sexy mansion in Portola Valley, but mostly it’s not something I’m asked to do much. Maybe I’m too expensive, I don’t know. But it’s fun, and waaaay easier than chasing toddlers around […]

Sunny Cove Beachhouse (Homes)

There’s no shortage of rental properties in Santa Cruz, and those with an ocean view are the most attractive to out-of-towners looking for the beach city experience. Of course all those potential customers are combing through photos on rental property websites, so if your photos are crap, you’re gonna get less business. The smart ones […]
