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 […]

Sneak Peek: Rachel + Jonathan (Engagement Photography) @ San Francisco, California

Here’s a couple pics from tonight’s romantic “available light only” engagement session with Jonathan and Rachel. It was windy so I couldn’t bring along my usual lighting rig – but it was fun (and quicker) to shoot without so much staging. We started at Pier 39 in San Francisco, and ended at Pier 7 (by the […]

Sneak Peek: Agnieszka + Peter (Engagement Photography) @ San Francisco, California

Just a quick sneak peek for A+P’s engagement shoot tonight in San Francisco – the first is a wide shot of the couple at Embarcadero Center, the second is a night shot in the middle of the street on Harrison St. with a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge in the background. Enjoy, and stay […]

Lisa + Corey (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola, California

Sometimes a couple just clicks, and they don’t require a whole lot of interference on my part when it comes to fitting together in a photogenic way. I’m used to directing my couples a lot – where to put their hands, where to look, etc, but Lisa and Corey are naturals in front of the […]

Seb + Rocio = Aiden > Evan (Family Photography) @ Seacliff Beach, Aptos, California

This was my third family shoot with these guys in about as many years, and it’s so awesome to witness families grow. I feel like I hit all the high points in peoples’ lives – weddings, graduations, babies, family reunions – it’s such a blessing, the best job in the world. Seb and Rocio wanted […]

Capitola Family Photography (Album Design)

Great family portraits are awesome to hang on the wall. But sometimes, there’s just too many good ones to choose from – or more likely, simply not enough wall-space available for prints. In those cases, I recommend my clients invest in custom-designed albums that tell the story of their fun photo shoot with GoodEye Photography […]

Nick + Tara = Carmella > Rocco (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

The awesome thing about the Santa Cruz/Monterey area is you can shoot at beaches year-round, and they pretty much always look the same. The only thing that changes is the clothing people wear. I photographed Nick and Tara’s beautiful family of five (if you include Oso, the dog) a week before Christmas, but you’d never […]

Michelle + Tom = Pearson > Collette (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

This is a fun, short family photography session taken at Capitola Beach. Michelle told me she really only wanted one photo, but of course you know this isn’t my style. Let’s have options, baby! These guys have tons of personality and I thoroughly enjoyed spending this evening with them. Here’s some of my favorite photos from […]

Alethea, Mike and Fam (Family Portrait Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Large families can be challenging to shoot – there’s that many more eyeballs and expressions that have to be open and happy at the exact same moment. Add to that the unpredictable wind, surf and lighting for an on-location outdoors shoot, and you have a lot to manage as a photographer! I’m always up for […]

Jen + Steve (Engagement Photography) @ Downtown Capitola and Beach

This couple is simply adorable, from the moment I met them (only six weeks ago), I knew we’d all try our hardest to make our working relationship happen. When you connect with someone right away, you really hope the business side of things don’t get in the way. Jen and Steve are so great; from […]

Amy + Elliott (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Even though it appeared to be an overcast, dreary day in Capitola, Amy and Elliott turned up the heat for their engagement session in downtown Capitola. They rode their cruisers, posed in front of the mural, cuddled on private property (oops!), trespassed on the train tracks (double oops!), and of course traversed all around the […]

Celeste (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

College Girls and Bunny Attack Capitola Beach (People Photography)

OK, so this shoot required some kind of sensational headline. To be honest, college girls aren’t exactly my target demographic, but in the next few years they could all be potential bride-clients, so you never know. Regardless, we all had a blast shooting at the fogged-in Capitola Beach this morning. It was 10am when we […]

Logan > Ryder (Brothers)

These little guys had a lot of fun playing with each other, running around the beach and chasing mom with sticks. Ah, boys will be boys! I ran around with them, doing my best to capture the moments. They were good enough to even pose for a few shots under the wharf, which turned out […]

Jennifer Astone (Portrait)

I met Jennifer near her home this morning, a short walk from Seacliff Beach in Aptos. She is a consultant for foundations and international organizations that give back to communities all over the world. She brings her vast organizational skills, networking connections, and just plain  good ol’ experience living and working for over 20 years […]

Karen + Jack (Anniversary)

Although this looks more like an engagement shoot, this was actually a celebration of Jack and Karen’s third wedding anniversary! Usually I don’t see a whole lot between newly married couples and those celebrating their 50th anniversaries, so it was a treat to see someone celebrating in-between, just for the heck of it. Karen surprised […]
