David Evans, Singer (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

Bobby and Lynda with Grandkids (Family Photography)

Most family photo shoots involve the kids and parents, but every once in a while the grandparents have a special session with their grandkids, as Bobby and Lynda did with Victoria, Phoenix and Seth. We took the family photos at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz, then walked down to Dog Beach for a […]

JointVenture: Silicon Valley – 2011 State of the Valley Conference (Corporate Event Photography)

I had the pleasure of covering the 2011 State of the Valley conference this Friday, February 18th. There were so many inspiring speakers, most notably our 3rd President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. At times the message was rather sobering – the state of our local, state and national economy and what needs to […]

Kaama Lounge (Interior Photography)

If you’re familiar with my blog, you’ve probably seen photos I’ve taken at Kaama Lounge before. They’ve made some changes to the look of the exterior and interior, plus have added a lunch menu, indian buffet style. Here’s a few shots I took of the interior – it was pouring outside so there wasn’t much […]

Fairmont San Jose’s Executive Chef Daniel @ The King of Mushrooms (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

Valentine’s Day Salad (Edible Flowers – Food Photography)

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! If you’re looking for something a little different for your sweetie this year (especially if she’s a foodie), try serving her flowers instead of merely delivering them! I don’t recommend frolicking in the nearest field, picking flowers with wild abandon and hoping they’ll all be delectable – best to leave it […]

John + Kathleen = Adane (Family Photography)

I have nothing but respect for couples that choose to adopt children; it’s such a selfless and loving decision. John and Kathleen welcomed Adane into their home last year, and he couldn’t have asked for more adoring parents. Children can often be, um, difficult during photography sessions – but Adane had nothing but smiles and […]

Joe + Nikki (Santa Cruz Engagement Photography)

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 […]

Louis and Freneau – Musicians (San Francisco Portrait Photography)

Louis and Freneau are a loving couple that also happen to create some great spiritual music. Their goal for the photo shoot was to get some cover-worthy art for their next album. They picked the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for the grand setting, where we met near sunset for our session. They […]

Justin + Erin (Engagement Photography)

I’m so looking forward to Justin and Erin’s wedding later on this year. They’re going with a Great Gatsby / 1920s theme for their wedding, so I’m definitely gonna have to sport a bowler hat to get in with the spirit of things. The engagement shoot took place up at their friend’s house in Bonny […]

Fahrenheit Lounge and Restaurant (Food Photography)

Fahrenheit Restaurant and Lounge, located on the corner of San Fernando and 3rd in San Jose, is truly one of downtown’s secret gems. It’s known for its nightlife, but not so much for the fantastic gourmet food they produce. Christopher Graves takes food creation seriously, and I’m here to prove it. We shot a bunch […]

Maxi Bond: Singer, Songwriter, Entertainer Extraordinaire (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

The Rays Reunion (Family Photography)

The all grown up Ray siblings got together in Saratoga to catch up on old times and visit with mom. They live in different parts of the country, so it had been over a decade since they’d all been in the same place, but you wouldn’t know it the way they playfully joked around and […]

Christy Evans, Yoga Teacher (Portrait Photography)

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 […]

Joanne and Thomas (Aptos Family Photography)

It’s not too often I have a photo session with a grandma and grandson – maybe this is the very first one. But it really is a special treat to see the loving interaction between them, the way Thomas can make Joanne’s face alight with joy by handing her a flower – it’s truly precious. […]

Jenn + Jacob (Santa Clara Engagement Photography)

Who cares about football anyway – not me, Jenn or Jacob, apparently… While everyone was glued to their televisions watching stupid Superbowl ads, the three of us were having a blast at Central Park in Santa Clara. It’s an expansive public park with playgrounds, large fields, old trees, a baseball field, a large pond with […]
