2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Cookies! (Food Photography) @ Los Gatos

Oh, you know – just some cookie photos I took during a commercial food shoot in Los Gatos. The chef behind these photos is starting a fresh cookie delivery service in San Jose – I can’t wait for it to be up and running! We took individual photos of 7 different cookie types for starters. […]

Jaason + Benjamin (Engagement Photography) @ Vasona Park, Los Gatos

I met Jaason and Benjamin at Vasona Park to get some great portraits of the two of them and found out along the way that they were getting married later this year. So of course it turned into more of an engagement shoot than regular ol’ portraits, which is more fun! The light was great […]

Chris + Leah @ Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, San Jose (Wedding Photography)

I’ve known Chris and Leah for several years now, and I was excited when they asked me to officially capture the culmination of their wedding plans at the beautiful Cinnabar Golf Course in the hills above San Jose and Morgan Hill. We started the day at Hotel Los Gatos where some of the bridal party […]

David Lawson (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

Los Gatos Home (Real Estate Photography)

Although this home is technically in Los Gatos, it’s really up off the summit in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It’s a beautiful property with a huge deck and built in jacuzzi. Monique Pacurariu and Chris Clayton are the listing agents for this house, and if this looks like the perfect new home for you, please […]

Joe + Christine (Engagement Photography)

I’ve been trying to get all my new brides-to-be excited about engagement sessions – they’re great practice for the big day, but in a low-stress, easygoing environment. There’s no dress, no bridesmaids, and certainly no mothers making unreasonable demands. It’s just me and the couple, exploring what poses and angles are the most flattering, and […]

Karyn + Grant (Wedding)

I met Grant and Karyn through Franco Uomo, the upscale men’s clothing store at Santana Row. While there, Grant got a few items for his suit, and when he mentioned he was getting married in a few weeks, Franco asked if he had a photographer. A couple days later, Grant and Karyn ended up hiring […]

Amy + Arthur (Wedding)

Amy and Arthur Raynaud celebrated their vows with close family and friends today in Los Gatos – technically they got married back in April, so this was more of a make-good for the lack of a party the first time ’round. Great lovers of Depeche Mode, I chose a special song for their wedding slideshow. […]

Manresa, Los Gatos (Interiors)

David Kinch’s Manresa is a Los Gatos fine dining icon; anyone who calls themselves a “foodie” in the Bay Area has visited the Michelin-rated restaurant at least once. David’s menu is constantly changing, depending on whatever’s “growing in the garden.” The restaurant is not huge, but boasts an intimate, classy atmosphere (dare I call it […]

George & Claire (Wedding Album)

Check out George and Claire’s 40 page wedding album proof below – they are such a fun couple and I hope the photos I chose for the layouts illustrate this. The venue is Larkspur’s Toll House Hotel in Los Gatos – the reception was in the middle courtyard, and with weather like we had, it’s […]

Give Me a Y-O-G-A!

Linda McGrath of Yoga Source Los Gatos needed some group and individual shots of her Yoga teachers. We met at the front lawn of Los Gatos High School, which is big, beautiful, green, dotted with tall palm trees, which would help accentuate the reaching poses. It was hot as hell, and everyone was wearing all […]

Trevese, the Inside Story

Like that other restaurant, Trevese has whipped the old victorian-style mansion into an environmentally-friendly frenzy. I don’t know exactly what it means but The Wave can explain it better here. Something about ethics. Whatever. I’d been trying for over a year to find an excuse to get some interior photos of this fancy restaurant and […]

Cin-Cin, Chinny Chin Chin

The newest Wine Bar/Lounge/Restaurant in Los Gatos is also “Green” from head to toe by latest ecological standards. Check out The Wave article that says so. The interior really is amazing and I hope I did it justice in my photos. I incorporated my own finely-tuned High Dynamic Range photography workflow that I use for […]

Yoga Source Los Gatos Adds Spa Services

You can now get the full spa treatment at Yoga Source Los Gatos. Sure, it’s small, but this place sports the best Yoga experience in the Silicon Valley, so the Spa’s gotta be worth checking out! I’ll let you know next time I get a hot rock massage or whatever. More pics here.

Wine Cellar, Los Gatos

Shot some interiors/exteriors and dishes at Wine Cellar today. The sister/brother owners (Lisa & Steve) are super-nice & very accommodating. I ate the tuna tartar (not pictured) as it’s just so dang tasty! The rest of the shots are here. On the right is Steve, one of the owners. I love the color in this […]

Trevese, Los Gatos

This is truly a unique dessert – variations of candied apples with some fruit and cheese. I’ve seen a lot of the stuff nice restaurants put out there, and so much of it is really getting tiresome. I mean, yes, I’ve had chocolate lava explosion or whatever you choose to call it. “Oh? You say […]
