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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Even though I just booked Joe and Nikki’s wedding date with another couple just days before meeting them for the first time, I’m so glad I got to spend some QT with this wonderful couple at Three Mile beach just north of Santa Cruz. They both went to Cal Poly, SLO (entering as I was […]

I had a quick (See: 10 minute) photo shoot with Maxi this morning for the next cover of Tastes of San Jose Magazine. We rushed into the Japanese Friendship Gardens in San Jose and did our thing – quickly deciding we got the money shot five minutes into it. Good ’nuff for me! Here’s the […]

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Christy Evans, a recent SoCal refugee looking to ply her Yoga trade up in these northern parts, more specifically downtown Campbell, California at aptly named The Yoga Studio. Christy is spunky, vivacious, cute, and talented – and I learned all that in the first five […]

Diane wanted a few photos of her taken at her house here in Santa Cruz. It’s a lovely property up in the mountains, and we had fun exploring around for different places to shoot, inside and outside. It can be hard for people to loosen up as having a big camera focused just on you […]

I met Dale Yoshihara, the owner of Kyoto Palace in Campbell, about 5 years ago when I was working for The Wave Magazine. He was still happy with the photos I took back then, but I knew (and Explore Publishing knew) that I could do better with five solid years of photography under my belt […]
