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 […]

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

Ah, lovely food photography. Everyone seems to think it’s the toughest thing to shoot – but those people clearly haven’t tried photographing small children at the beach who want to look at anything but the camera. Food is so well behaved, I just want to eat it up. And I do. Regularly. Just another side benefit […]

Lindsey + Nic (Wedding Photography) @ Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, San Jose

I’ve seen some high-fives in my day, buit Nic and Lindsey make an art form out of it. They showed me how they do it at their Vasona Park engagement session, and of course had to follow up with a jumping high-five on their wedding day.

Lauren + Graham (Post-Wedding Bridal Photography) @ Santa Cruz

Sometimes the wedding day just get a little too busy, too crazy, and there’s just not enough time to get those beautiful bride and groom portraits. Lauren’s dad has a beautiful property in the Santa Cruz mountains, replete with lush garden “rooms,” redwoods, vines and even an odd antique bed frame thrown in there. We […]

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 […]

Kelly + Ryan (Wedding Photography) @ Dancing Deer Farm, Templeton, California

Kelly + Ryan = Sexy Awesomeness. I met with Kelly last year about her unconventional wedding plans, and we ended up talking for a couple hours about her vision for her big day, and we really connected. The next time we met was for their Panther Beach engagement session, which was fun, sexy and a […]

Chandra + Jason = Ahnise > Sterling (Family Photography) @ Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz

There are so many amazing locations in the Santa Cruz area to shoot, and Chandra and Jason found they really connect with Wilder Ranch, a collection of old houses, barns and fields comprising the farming property of the Wilder family. It’s now a historical preserve and part of the State Park system. Most people come […]

Breanna (Newborn Photography) @ San Jose, California

Monica and Danny found me online, and although I don’t shoot a ton of newborn portraits every year, I consider each job I take on a blessing. If you work with a newborn that’s only a couple weeks old, they are really pose-able, and sleep through practically anything as long as their environment is really […]

Commercial Portrait / Stock Photography (Santa Cruz) – Janet

Janet hired me to get some modeling / portrait photos of her in a couple settings in downtown Santa Cruz. The intent was to update her modeling portfolio, and we went with a stock photography-style approach with candid photos of Janet – working on her laptop, using her smartphone, etc. She’s absolutely stunning, so it […]

Danielle + Tony (Wedding Photography) @ Kohl Mansion, Burlingame, California

I last met Danielle and Tony during their romantic engagement session at Felton Covered Bridge Park and Loch Lomond. It was great practice for them leading up to the wedding day. Instead of meeting up with Danielle (typically us photographers meet up with the bride first), I met Tony and his groomsmen at Tony’s parents […]
