Lifestyle Business Portraits at Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz

Brenda needed some portraits for her new real estate venture, but she wanted more of a natural lifestyle feel to the photos than your typical executive headshot. She sent me a few sample images for the look and feel she was going for, so I suggested a natural light shoot at Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz. It’s […]

F.S. (Business + Lifestyle Portrait Photography) @ Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz, California

This professional businesswoman needed some updated photos of her dressed in professional clothing at an outdoor beach location. Because she’s based in the Santa Cruz area, she decided to have her portraits taken at Seabright beach near the cement “jacks” and lighthouse. We started with the more formal clothing, then changed to a more casual outfit […]

City Hall Executives (Business Portrait Photography) @ San Jose, California

Quite a few executives at San Jose City Hall needed some new portraits, so instead of giving them all the same cookie-cutter background treatment, we decided to use the lovely architectural attributes throughout the property to get some striking portraits of these business professionals. My favorite is probably the first one, shot on the 17th floor […]

Business Head Shots in Mountain View

When I take an individual’s portrait for business purposes, I try to find out exactly how they intend to use the photos. Usually it’s for their LinkedIn profile or their professional website. However, sometimes they’d also like a couple more casual portraits for dating sites or other uses – so my goal is always to […]

Visual Branding Studio (Lifestyle Business Portrait Photography) @ Menlo Park, California

This team is a regular client of mine and needed some updated staff photos taken in their comfy little studio space in Menlo Park. We needed to show they are designers at heart, fun creative professionals. We didn’t have a ton of stuff planned out so I found inspiration in the moment. This is what we came up […]

Mother Daughter Portraits in Aptos

While this was technically intended to be a business headshot portrait taken at my client’s home in Aptos, her adorable 7 year old daughter (and her aged dog) kinda stole the show. Of course I had to adapt to the situation to get some priceless mother/daughter/dog portraits – you never know how a shoot will unexpectedly change – and […]

VIB Law II – The Courthouse Edition (Business Portrait Photography) @ San Jose, California

So, part II of our first portrait session with VIB Law – this time we met up at the Old Courthouse in downtown San Jose, California. It’s old, but with a grand stature and decor that’s absent in modern architecture. First we took a few photos in the courtroom itself, but absent a judge, jury and audience […]

VIB Law (Business Portrait Photography) @ San Jose, California

The fearless and highly skilled triad of leadership at VIB are revamping their website, and need some quality content to help populate the beautiful new design.

They usually meet at The Dream Inn, Santa Cruz – so I set up shop near their meeting space for some nice outdoor portraits. Check out the best photos below: Recent “Portrait” Posts:

“Tech Startup” (Headshot Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

A Palo Alto-based startup company needed some good portraits of their executives, so while they were having a retreat of sorts in Santa Cruz, I came to the estate they were staying at and set up a mini studio in one of the bedrooms. It was a little cramped, but I’m used to making the […]

Bob S (Author Bio Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz

Bob wrote a book about solar energy with an emphasis on the far-forward view of the technology; I swear we talked more about this topic than we spent time taking photos! Bob contacted per his marketing agent’s request for a “smart, approachable” photo for the bio. We met at his home in the Santa Cruz mountains, and the first thing I did […]

J. Morgan – Attorneys (Business / Lifestyle Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

This law firm is redesigning their website, so the design team needed some fresh content to work into things. It was a drizzly, yucky December morning, so luckily most of what we wanted to accomplish was indoors. We started with everyone’s favorites – headshots! And then we moved onto more “stock” lawyerly photos. Enjoy! Recent […]
