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 […]

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 […]

Lisa + Mario (Engagement Photography) @ Coyote Creek Trail, Morgan Hill

He’s San Jose PD, she’s in dispatch, and Rex there, he’s the guard dog. Except this doberman is all cuddles and whimpering cuteness – well, at least with his owners and friends. I kept expecting him to run off into the fields, chasing rabbits, birds, mice, or even the deer we saw, but he was […]

Alexis + Adam (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

I met with Alexis and Adam for the second time today for their engagement shoot at Panther Beach (the first when we chatted about wedding stuff back in February). I was worried because of the whitecaps I was seeing on the ocean while driving up Hwy 1, but then I remembered Alexis’ short hair, and […]

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 […]

Meaghan + Brad (Engagement Photography) @ Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz

Meaghan found me online, and even though she’s having a friend shoot her wedding, she wanted a local photographer to capture her and Brad’s country spirit for her engagement session. When she said she wanted a barn/farm-like atmosphere, I knew we’d have to shoot at Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz. The green fields, […]

Megan + Dan (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

Megan and Dan contacted me last year about getting some engagement photos taken at the beach when they were in town in January. I’m always a little nervous booking sessions with people that are visiting for a short time, as weather doesn’t always cooperate with outdoor photography. All week it’s been really cold and windy […]

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 […]

Verona + Paul (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

Verona and Paul’s wedding is coming up in a few weeks, so we couldn’t put off their engagement shoot any longer! Luckily the November weather cooperated, giving us a beautiful setting at Panther Beach (where it’s usually exceptionally windy). These two have a lot of chemistry, which makes my photo-taking job so much easier. The […]

Susan + Colin = Jackson > Odessa (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Capitola Beach is one of my favorite locations for taking family photos – kids love the beach, and everything from the colorful beach-side houses to the wooden pier make for incredible backdrops for family portraits. I met this family of four under the pier for their session, getting some formal group shots of them before […]

Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant (Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz

Tonight’s restaurant photography session at Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant in Santa Cruz had a few goals: portraits of both the hostess and executive chef, some evening ambiance photos, and some customer photos. Unfortunately the fog rolled in right around sunset, so the timing didn’t work out when that evening’s diners started coming in, but it’s always […]

Hyatt House (Hotel Photography) @ Santa Clara

The Hyatt rebranded one of their hotels in Santa Clara and called me up to get some architectural photos of it. I showed up a little before sunset, and stayed until a little after to get that nice light us photographers always look for. Luckily there were clouds in the sky to add some visual […]
