Bay Area mystery writer Laurie R. King needed some new publicity photos to adorn her book coming out this fall, so I came to her home for a few studio-like and natural portraits. I enjoyed talking with her and am excited to read my new signed copy of The Beekeeper’s Apprentice (I do love a […]

San Jose City Hall unarguably exhibits beautiful architecture, with sweeping, curving lines and elegant glass and cement materials. What better backdrop for some business portraits? I met some of the crew from the Lucina Health Foundation at the curved staircase/ramp to get some photos of four of the team members. Really nice people that took […]

I was hired to shoot the 2012 Awards Ceremony at National Hispanic University in San Jose, and since I was there, we took advantage of the time to get some nice headshots of some of the faculty that showed up to the event early (ha! that’ll teach ya!!). Even though they weren’t expecting to have […]

Ed needed some casual shots of himself in a variety of outfits. Luckily he lives across the street from our destination – the always lovely Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Most of the shots were pretty tight, so I didn’t incorporate much of the wide architectural shots I sometimes employ for engagement sessions […]

Kathy needed an updated headshot for professional use, so we met at the Museum of Art and History in downtown Santa Cruz. There’s a courtyard around back with some interesting backgrounds for neutral to organic and industrial looks. This was a super-quick portrait session as the need was very specific and the timing was last-minute. […]

Dr. Bindi needed some updated portraits of himself and his staff at Eye Center of Silicon Valley (which, I might add, is a stellar company). Everyone is very friendly, and even though nobody was fighting to be first in front of the camera, everyone gave it their best. Thanks guys, see you next time! Looking […]

I shot Erin’s fabulous Roaring 20s wedding last year, and the cool thing about doing great work for clients is that they come back to you. It so happens that Erin needed some portraits for career purposes, so we set a date in January. We almost postponed due to the forecast for rain, but we […]

The UPS store chain has an upcoming television advertising campaign, and the last five seconds of each corporate commercial is devoted to the local store owners. They needed a shot of some of the owners from the Santa Cruz area in a group shot, so they all convened at the Scotts Valley location tonight after […]

I had a portrait session with Bella last year at Natural Bridges, but both mom and grandma wanted a formal portrait of Bella in her dress that mimicked the photos they have of themselves from their first communions. Being nine and growing like a weed, we had to get the shot done quickly before she […]

Peggy and Lance are both into cameras, Lance himself specializing in nighttime architectural photography. But as is always the case in this situation, they really don’t have any photos of the two of them together. Enter: Me. We took a stroll during their lunch break through Fall Creek, just off Highway 9 in Felton. Here’s […]

I’ve waited SO long to do a Trash The Dress (TTD) session with one of my brides. Everyone always chickens out, but I can see why – the wedding is still fresh, and nobody wants to leave the party to change out of the wet dress (or destroy it, for that matter). Last year I […]

This kinda came off like a senior portrait session, although Celeste is almost one year into college. But the approach was the same – take great photos to show off an individual’s inner and outer beauty. I met Celeste and her mom, fresh from the salon, in downtown Capitola. Of course the weather was cloudy […]

In these connected days, we’ve got personal and professional profiles on a myriad of different website – all with prominent places for pictures of ourselves – Facebook, LinkedIn, Match, eHarmony – just to name a few. The only thing most profile photos have in common is their nearly-universal characteristic of suckiness. Since everyone seems to […]

Senior portrait photography is kind of a new pursuit of mine. It’s an honor to capture this time of transition in a person’s life, and I consider it a personal challenge to capture an individual’s true personality. I had a great time navigating 3-Mile beach with Emma and her mom, even though getting down to […]

When Kyle called about 30 minutes before we were supposed to meet, I tried to postpone on him due to the weather – but as he reminded me that Stephanie was due very soon, postponing wasn’t an option. Of course I mentally slapped myself, and shook off the rainy day attitude and quickly left to […]

I met David this morning at Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz. Recently graduated from college back East, David is laying the foundation for his future in music – and one small part of that is publicity photos. When he initially called me, he was just looking for a headshot, but I convinced him while […]

I had the pleasure of covering the 2011 State of the Valley conference this Friday, February 18th. There were so many inspiring speakers, most notably our 3rd President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. At times the message was rather sobering – the state of our local, state and national economy and what needs to […]

Just a couple photos of San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed speaking at the 2011 State of the Valley Conference at McEnery Convention center today. He’s the Co-Chair of the board for Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network.

The Fairmont San Jose uses the best possible sources for the food the comes into the hotel’s kitchens. I took a little trip with Executive Chef Daniel Maurice up to Daly City to visit their mushroom purveyor of choice, The King of Mushrooms (Todd Spanier). I’ve gone-a-mushroom-hunting with Todd before, but unfortunately he was away […]
