This shot is from a quick maternity portrait at the Palace of Fine arts in San Francisco – this beautiful pregnant woman is standing next to an enormous tree, looking down at her belly. I love the birds flying in the background and of course the grand architecture of the main dome feature of this […]

Scott and Caroline decided to celebrate their 50th birthdays in high fashion – so they decided to have an amazing 1920s-themed “Casa Blanca” party at the most appropriate venue in the Bay Area for such an event – the statuesque Villa Montalvo mansion in Saratoga. All the guests were dressed in fashionable clothing and accessories from the […]

Brenda needed some portraits for her new real estate venture, but she wanted more of a natural lifestyle feel to the photos than your typical executive headshot. She sent me a few sample images for the look and feel she was going for, so I suggested a natural light shoot at Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz. It’s […]

This professional businesswoman needed some updated photos of her dressed in professional clothing at an outdoor beach location. Because she’s based in the Santa Cruz area, she decided to have her portraits taken at Seabright beach near the cement “jacks” and lighthouse. We started with the more formal clothing, then changed to a more casual outfit […]

Quite a few executives at San Jose City Hall needed some new portraits, so instead of giving them all the same cookie-cutter background treatment, we decided to use the lovely architectural attributes throughout the property to get some striking portraits of these business professionals. My favorite is probably the first one, shot on the 17th floor […]

When I take an individual’s portrait for business purposes, I try to find out exactly how they intend to use the photos. Usually it’s for their LinkedIn profile or their professional website. However, sometimes they’d also like a couple more casual portraits for dating sites or other uses – so my goal is always to […]

This team is a regular client of mine and needed some updated staff photos taken in their comfy little studio space in Menlo Park. We needed to show they are designers at heart, fun creative professionals. We didn’t have a ton of stuff planned out so I found inspiration in the moment. This is what we came up […]

While this was technically intended to be a business headshot portrait taken at my client’s home in Aptos, her adorable 7 year old daughter (and her aged dog) kinda stole the show. Of course I had to adapt to the situation to get some priceless mother/daughter/dog portraits – you never know how a shoot will unexpectedly change – and […]

Cafe Cruz in Soquel wanted to show off their awesome romantic ambiance – different areas inside and out on the patio that are all next to open fireplaces or fire pits. They certainly add a lot of figurative and literal warmth to the locale. Here’s a few photos highlighting the spaces with some couples. Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

Senior portraits are always a lot of fun – only one subject to concentrate on, and it’s pretty unlikely they’ll be uncooperative – with streaming tears, snotty noses and throwing fits on the ground 🙂 Jacob did an awesome job, although I must admit he was a challenging nut to crack – this guy just doesn’t […]

So, part II of our first portrait session with VIB Law – this time we met up at the Old Courthouse in downtown San Jose, California. It’s old, but with a grand stature and decor that’s absent in modern architecture. First we took a few photos in the courtroom itself, but absent a judge, jury and audience […]
