Nici (“Nikee”) and Dalas (“Dallas”) are one of those couples that are just meant to be together. They’re laid back, funky and ironic in a cool way. We met at beautiful Highlands Park up in Ben Lomond; for those of you not familiar with the area, this is in the Santa Cruz Mountains past Scotts […]

R&B Productions, the promoter for the Milo Z tour coming to the Bay Area this week, hired me to design the posters for all the venues Milo Z would be playing at. Of course the band only had a photo – no logo or anything else to support the design. Luckily the photo (photographer unknown) […]

I met this lovely couple a few weeks ago during our initial wedding consultation, and they wasted no time booking a date to get their engagement photos done. They are beach people, and it just so happens I live in a beach town – so it was a natural fit! We actually went up to […]

I met Dee and her twin sister way back in college, and thanks to Facebook we reconnected last year. We’d known of each others’ goings-on in a general sense through common friends, so she knew I’d gone professional with photography since the college days. As she was recently engaged, Dee contacted me to see if […]

Franco has a bunch of new clothes to show off, and since he’s already located at beautiful Santana Row, it stands to reason that we’d do our fashion shoot here. Every alley is a gem, with beautiful textured wood and vibrant paint. It’s tough to take a bad photo with all the wonderful backdrops to […]

I just happened to be looking for something on Yelp today and noticed that the Yelp Folks were headlining their “Best Of” businesses on their main page. It defaulted to the Santa Cruz area as that’s where I live, and out of curiosity I clicked on the “Professional Services” category. My jaw dropped when I […]

JT & Chloe’s mom hired me to take some photos of her kids as a surprise for father’s day. They are super cute, and very sassy with each other. I tried to capture all the in-between moments, the tickling before the pushing, the hand-holding before the pinching, the arm around the shoulder before the headlock […]

Owen and Marie Jobson have done a fantastic job with their first restaurant, Blue Rock BBQ (San Jose).

So round one for Morton’s was last week, this week we focused on promoting the space for weddings and parties. Morton’s is world-renowned for their excellent cuts of cow-flesh (and who doesn’t love that!), and in that regard they don’t disappoint. But for some reason people don’t see Morton’s as a kid-friendly or fun party-friendly […]

Ah, Tomatina, how I love you even though you’re kind of a chain restaurant… but I won’t hold that against you, because your pizza is sooo good! And who knew you had such succulent desserts? I mean, look at these cream-puff things? Thanks for “using” my services, I will forever thank you [burp!]. Enjoy the […]

Faultline Brewery in Sunnyvale needed some new shots, so of course I was there to do what I do best – eat food! Did I just say that? Um… well, I shot it, THEN ate it, like a good boy. This is actually quite a nice location for a wedding (Sarah + Matt), there’s lots […]

Mike and Fera own Arya Global Cuisine in Cupertino – it’s a beautiful space off El Camino Real. They have created a unique blend of Persian, Italian and American cuisine that is really quite good.

So I definitely was not prepared for the number of interior photos I’d be shooting for Morton’s the Steakhouse in San Jose. When I assured them it would only take a couple of hours, they hesitated, unsure of whether I was grasping the entirety of their needs. You see, usually I go into a place […]
