Peggy and Lance are both into cameras, Lance himself specializing in nighttime architectural photography. But as is always the case in this situation, they really don’t have any photos of the two of them together. Enter: Me. We took a stroll during their lunch break through Fall Creek, just off Highway 9 in Felton. Here’s […]

WARNING: This post has LOTS of big photos!! What can I say, Jared and Jasmine are an Attractive Couple (see: capitalization) that knows good photography when they see it. They reviewed my work online and booked me for their upcoming wedding without even meeting me first. I could’ve been some psychopath that also happened to […]

When Kyle called about 30 minutes before we were supposed to meet, I tried to postpone on him due to the weather – but as he reminded me that Stephanie was due very soon, postponing wasn’t an option. Of course I mentally slapped myself, and shook off the rainy day attitude and quickly left to […]

Louis and Freneau are a loving couple that also happen to create some great spiritual music. Their goal for the photo shoot was to get some cover-worthy art for their next album. They picked the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for the grand setting, where we met near sunset for our session. They […]

Who cares about football anyway – not me, Jenn or Jacob, apparently… While everyone was glued to their televisions watching stupid Superbowl ads, the three of us were having a blast at Central Park in Santa Clara. It’s an expansive public park with playgrounds, large fields, old trees, a baseball field, a large pond with […]

Not every couple I photograph is engaged or getting married – many are celebrating their Xth anniversaries, which I think is so cool! Ok, so maybe sometimes the guys are like “I’d rather be at home watching football, but my wife made me come here,” but by the end of the session even the reluctant […]

Shannon and Greg are a fun, easygoing couple who aren’t afraid to roll with my crazy ideas. They wanted to have an engagement shoot at a beach in Santa Cruz, so after looking through some recent e-sessions I’ve done around the area, they settled on 3-Mile Beach. It’s a couple miles out of town, a […]

Sue wanted a special gift for her birthday this year, so she hired a pro photographer (yours truly) to help celebrate ten years of being together. Bill and Sue have had their fair share of life challenges, and I can tell you first hand their positive attitude towards the world has transformed their lives for […]

I’ve been friends with Jeff and Eleanor since freshman year in college. Eleanor was one of my art major friends, and Jeff was one of my engineering major friends. It’s pretty cool that those two circles eventually merged to create this wonderful, dynamic family. They have three fantastic kids, and I really enjoyed spending some […]

Michael lives and works here in the U.S., but he maintains a long distance relationship with his girlfriend, Cindy. It’s not a case of San Francisco vs. San Jose, either – she lives in Hong Kong! So to celebrate her visit (and probably so he remembers what she looks like after she’s gone!) Michael hired […]

Hollie and James have been married a couple years, and they just had their first baby. OK, so it’s a large puppy (Sheldon) – but everyone works at their own pace 🙂 They live in Felton, and are active outdoorspeople, so they wanted to go to a special place in the woods. It ended up […]

Vic and Mary are a sweet, earnest couple and I had the opportunity to spend a half hour with them to get a couple portraits. They lost their son, Adam, to suicide a few years ago, and since then have tirelessly committed themselves to reinvigorate California’s suicide-prevention programs. Their good will and efforts are felt […]
