“Dough” Slingers at Kianti’s (Restaurant Lifestyle Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

OK, so it’s not “real” pizza dough, but it still takes some mad skills and coordination to work these things! Still photos don’t really do these guys and gals justice, though – you’ve gotta see them in action on Friday and Saturday nights!

Customer Candids at Kianti’s (Restaurant Lifestyle Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Kianti’s knows how to treat and entertain their customers – especially the little ones! Harried parents are always delighted to see the smile on their toddler’s face once that hunk of pizza dough is plunked down on the table. The kids look up at mom, silently communicating “is this something I can play with?” A quick smile […]

Kianti’s Owners Tracy and Kelly (Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Tracy and Kelly, owners of Kianti’s Pizza & Pasta Bar restaurant in Santa Cruz, needed some updated portraits for business use. We used a spot in the private dining room for the nice, neutral background; I think they turned out pretty well! To view more photo shoots at Kianti’s, click here.

Becky and Sam (Engagement Photography) @ Skyline, Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Pier 7 – San Francisco, California

Sam is a close photographer-friend of mine, so I was honored when he asked if I could take engagement photos of him and his fiancé Becky. I’ll be one of his groomsmen in a couple weeks, so it’s good we got our shoot done when we did! The weather was clear and not-too-windy, which are […]

Ethan Bearman – Media Personality and Talk Radio Host (Lifestyle Portraits) @ New Brighton Beach, Aptos, California

Ethan Bearman changes his look every couple of years, and a quick google image search proves this is no understatement. He spends more time behind the microphone than the video camera (although he’s by no means camera-shy), but maintaining and updating his image is important. Mr. Bearman had some pretty specific shots he was looking […]

And while my skills have definitely improved in that time period, their food started out awesome (and continues to be so). Scott Cooper is such a creative chef, I love seeing what he comes up with. When we’re collaborating, it’s definitely […]

Howard (Business Headshot / Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

I know head shots are not something most people look forward to. That’s why I make the process super-quick, easy and fun. If I can’t get a great shot of you in the first 3 minutes of shooting, then I’ve failed miserably. Howard’s main concern was not having a good place to shoot – his […]
