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 […]

Fraiche Frozen Yogurt – and more! (Food Photography) @ Palo Alto, California

To say that Fraiche in Palo Alto is a frozen yogurt shop is a misnomer. Don’t get me wrong, their froyo is fantastic – the best I’ve ever had! But they have tons of other lunch-y fare that will leave your mouth watering. During the course of this shoot, I’m not ashamed to say I sampled as […]

Ben + Juniper = Laila > Aurora (Family Photography)

I met Ben, Juniper and their little cuties Laila and Aurora at Lighthouse field, Santa Cruz for their family portrait session.

La Choza Day Spa (Interiors)

Angelica McCoy, owner of La Choza Day Spa in San Jose, needed some new interior photos taken for her spa’s website – nothing too fancy, but of course I went with 5 bracketed shots to create the HDR photos you see here. Even though a decent single exposure would cover the dynamic range of these […]

Trevese, the Inside Story

Like that other restaurant, Trevese has whipped the old victorian-style mansion into an environmentally-friendly frenzy. I don’t know exactly what it means but The Wave can explain it better here. Something about ethics. Whatever. I’d been trying for over a year to find an excuse to get some interior photos of this fancy restaurant and […]

Cin-Cin, Chinny Chin Chin

The newest Wine Bar/Lounge/Restaurant in Los Gatos is also “Green” from head to toe by latest ecological standards. Check out The Wave article that says so. The interior really is amazing and I hope I did it justice in my photos. I incorporated my own finely-tuned High Dynamic Range photography workflow that I use for […]
