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 […]

2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

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 […]

This local communications company in Santa Cruz regularly has executive meetings with employees that fly in from around the world. 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:

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 […]

ERG (Business / Lifestyle Portrait Photography) @ Campbell, California

This business in Campbell, California needed both group and individual portraits of all 12 employees. We did all photos twice – both indoors near the company logo in the lobby, and outside in the courtyard.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Heather (Business Headshot Photography) @ Capitola, California

Even though the weather dropped 20 degrees and became overcast an hour before our business portrait photography session was scheduled to begin, Heather was ready to brave the elements to get the shoot done! After a brief wardrobe consultation, we drove to the bluff that overlooks Capitola beach and the ocean. Even though most of […]
