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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sundance the Steakhouse (Commercial Photography – food & drink, architecture, portraits) @ Palo Alto, California

The photos below are from a multi-day shoot with Sundance the Steakhouse – the goal being to create a revamped website for the restaurant with lots of killer, fresh visual content. Over the course of three separate shoots, we shoot plated dishes, portraits of owners Galen and Aaron, photos of the staff, behind-the-scenes action in the […]

“Communications Company” (Headshot Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

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:

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 […]

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. After the portraits, I shot some lifestyle / candid photos of some of the employees having a meeting in the […]

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 […]
