Meg & Jack (Pregnant + Toddler)

Meg wanted a few photos while she was in her third trimester – but because she also had her toddler with her, we of course included him as well. Toddlers are usually, well, challenging when it comes to trying to tell them what to do, or stay in one place, or look at the camera, […]

Baklava (New Restaurant)

Newly opened in Palo Alto, right off University Ave., Baklava is a welcoming, open sidewalk/patio Mediterranean restaurant specializing in a blend of Turkish and Greek cuisine (and drinks). People may be familiar with a similarly-named restaurant in Mountain View, and this is the newest incarnation of that well-loved location. I met with the owner over […]

Amber + Michael (Wedding)

I didn’t meet Amber and Michael until three days before their wedding – they are local to Washington State, but were planning their wedding to take place in Santa Cruz, where I live. (WARNING: gratuitous self-promotion plug ahead) Being the young and tech-savvy couple they are, they searched Yelp for “Wedding Photographers” and with twenty-one […]

John Bentley’s (Food + Interiors)

I met with John Bentley at his newest self-named restaurant location in Redwood City to take some professional photos for advertising and the restaurant’s self promotion. I did my usual HDR-thang with the interiors, shot some details, and got some nice food shots of a few select dishes. Of course I sampled everything after shooting, […]

Father + Daughter + Beach + Bike

I ran into Tim and his daughter while conducting another family portrait session at Natural Bridges beach – I was struck by the scene they presented, a colorful retro bike and a father spending some quality time with his young, adoring daughter. I asked if I could take their portrait real quick as they presented […]

The Carvills (Family Portraits)

Kari Carvill told me she’d basically never had a real family photo session, and was excited about seeing what we could accomplish together. We were able to shoot for an hour at Natural Bridges beach in Santa Cruz before their littlest one started melting down. It was a challenging shoot, as most involving toddlers tend […]

Craig Martin (Portrait for GSC Review Magazine Cover)

Sergio Retamal, owner of Global Supply Chain Review magazine needed a portrait of Craig Martin to use on the next cover of the publication. Craig’s time is probably worth more  than my own, so I made it quick and painless. We literally spent 5 minutes outside his office in Sunnyvale getting a variety of shots, […]

It was a fantastic private […]

Morton’s Steakhouse San Francisco (Interiors)

The CEO loved my Morton’s San Jose photos so much, corporate immediately booked my services for the San Francisco location. It really looks very similar to the San Jose location, except it’s two floors and they have a two full bars and a nifty glass wine room. Here’s a few of my favorites… Like what […]

JT & Chloe (Brother & Sister Portraits)

JT & Chloe’s mom hired me to take some photos of her kids as a surprise for father’s day. They are super cute, and very sassy with each other. I tried to capture all the in-between moments, the tickling before the pushing, the hand-holding before the pinching, the arm around the shoulder before the headlock […]

Blue Rock BBQ (Interiors)

Owen and Marie Jobson have done a fantastic job with their first restaurant, Blue Rock BBQ (San Jose). The interior, signage and and identity all indicate a corporate franchise – but alas, this is simply a well executed vision by two entrepreneurs who are passionate about southern cooking and bringing service back to the service […]
