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 […]

Alexis + Adam (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

I met with Alexis and Adam for the second time today for their engagement shoot at Panther Beach (the first when we chatted about wedding stuff back in February). I was worried because of the whitecaps I was seeing on the ocean while driving up Hwy 1, but then I remembered Alexis’ short hair, and […]

Sarah + Mark (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola, California

It can always be a little nerve-wracking to meet your photographic subjects for the first time on the day of your shoot. It’s kind of like a first date – are they nice? What do they look like? Will it be easy or challenging to pose them? These worries dissipated soon after meeting Sarah and […]

Sarah + Anthony (Engagement Photography) @ Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur

I thought it was a long drive to Big Sur from Santa Cruz, but Sarah and Anthony drove all the way from the East Bay for their Pfeiffer Beach engagement session in Big Sur. It had been several years since my last engagement shoot at this location, and I remember it being ridiculously windy. Lucky […]

Jamie + Matt (Engagement Photography) @ Lagunas Beach, Santa Cruz

Jamie and Matt are getting married at Ranch Soquel in a few months, but were smart to take advantage of my engagement photography service, recognizing it as not only a good chance to get to know me better, but as valuable practice for taking photos together. I truly believe that a 1-2 hour shoot in […]

Tory + Jeremy (Engagement Photography) @ Stewart’s Cove, Carmel

I’m pretty sure Tory and Jeremy started laughing when I met them, and didn’t stop until I left. Either I had a booger hanging out of my nose, or they’re just a fun, happy couple that loves to live, and loves to laugh. My own sense of humor really mingled with their own, so while […]

Peggy and Roger (Engagement Photography) @ Capitola, California

Peggy and Roger met me in Capitola for their engagement/practice session. I like to start up near Shadowbrook restaurant and make our way towards downtown and the beach for the end, hitting up different locations along the way. The weather was spectacular, without wind, and these guys were totally receptive to my poling and prodding. […]

Megan + Dan (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

Megan and Dan contacted me last year about getting some engagement photos taken at the beach when they were in town in January. I’m always a little nervous booking sessions with people that are visiting for a short time, as weather doesn’t always cooperate with outdoor photography. All week it’s been really cold and windy […]

Astra + Steve (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

I’ve known Astra for over a decade, so I was really excited when she’d told me she got engaged to this awesome guy named Steve. He makes her so happy, you can just see it in their eyes when they look at each other. Of course they’ve got some serious chemistry going on, which I […]
