Hollie and James have been married a couple years, and they just had their first baby. OK, so it’s a large puppy (Sheldon) – but everyone works at their own pace 🙂 They live in Felton, and are active outdoorspeople, so they wanted to go to a special place in the woods. It ended up […]

I met the “Smiths” (preserving some modicum of anonymity here…) at Wilder Ranch, located about 5 miles west/north of Santa Cruz off highway 1. It’s a great State Park and preserve covering about 7,000 acres and traversed by 34 miles of hiking/biking/running trails – many hugging the coastal cliffs and valleys. What I didn’t know […]

After an extremely wet Santa Cruz weekend, I was dubious about this morning’s 9am session with the Day family. But when I spoke with Patti (resident Grandma), she sounded peppy and ready to go, so I figured if they could do it, I certainly could! Patti and her husband Paul moved to Santa Cruz a […]

Today I met Nicole and Joey Baker and their adorable little girls Mackenzie (lil’) and Madison (lil’ bigger) at the house they rented for their Santa Cruz vacation. It was a little chillier than they expected so of course mom had to go shopping for some more appropriate accoutrement 🙂 I’m glad she did, because […]

The Flores family wanted to shoot at a beach near their house, so we decided upon Rio Del Mar / Seacliff. We parked at Rio since it’s free and explored the area. I’ve never had a family session there so it was fun to see what we could find. Nick and Stacey have two little […]

Alice Wan called me up to get some photos of her brother who came up from LA and parents, who just arrived from Hong Kong. We had a lot of fun walking around downtown Capitola and the beach. Here’s my favorites from our shoot, all 74 photos are here.

Rocio, Sebastian and 18mo Aiden are residents of Capitola, so it made sense to get some professional family portraits done near their home. We met downtown at Zelda’s and trekked to the east side of the beach, near the cliffs, for most of our photos. It was a quick session, not even an hour, but […]
