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 […]

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 […]

She sported some really cute outfits […]

Kaelin (Business Portrait Photography) @ Henry Cowell, Felton, California

I shot Kaelin and Jayson’s wedding last Fall, so she is no stranger to my photographic style and capabilities. I was humbled when she contacted me a couple weeks ago to take some head shots / business portraits of her. She told me she was bravely stepping into the world of Real Estate, and needed […]

Nabih, Vicki and Kids (Family Photography) @ Henry Cowell, Felton, California

If you want a really natural field / forest / creek setting, Henry Cowell in Felton is a great location. Just off Highway 9, there’s plenty of places to explore with any family. These guys couldn’t make it down to the creek (wrong footwear), but that didn’t stop them from getting some ultra-adorable family pics […]

Sam H (Family Photography) @ West Cliff Drive & Fair Ave., Santa Cruz, California

Even grown-up families need a good family portrait from time to time. We snuck this shoot in after Christmas, but before New Year’s. Luckily the weather was super nice, and this was more of a mini-shoot. We took photos along West Cliff Drive (near Fair Ave.) with the ocean in the background. A few of […]

Simone + Mike = Zoe > Romy (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

I love taking photos at Capitola Beach, and when I have a fun family to work with it’s always a blast. The kids are adorable, Romy gave new meaning to “sand-wich.” There were so many great photos, even though it wasn’t a long session. Enjoy some of my favorites below.   Recent “Family Portrait” Posts:

Krista, Dan and Kids (Family Photography) @ Carmel River State Beach

I’ve been doing some commercial work for this couple, so it was a no-brainer for them to hire me for their family portraits this year. Carmel River State Beach is a special place to them, so I was happy to explore a new location for their family photos. Their girls are adorable, and they’re all […]

Aurora, Morgan, Avery & Elisa (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

It had been quite a few years since these girls last had their photos professionally taken together, and with Morgan off at college, getting them all together would only prove more challenging. It was an overcast day and a little chilly, but the girls had plenty of energy, and I had them run around a […]

Preston Wynne Staff Portraits (Business Headshot & Group Photography) @ Saratoga

Peggy decided to get her staff group photo taken by a professional this year, and knew of me because I photographed her friend’s wedding last year. The goal for the shoot was to get one big shot of all the staff – about 30 individuals. I knew that would only take a couple minutes to […]
