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 […]

Sneak Peek: Rachel + Jonathan (Engagement Photography) @ San Francisco, California

Here’s a couple pics from tonight’s romantic “available light only” engagement session with Jonathan and Rachel. It was windy so I couldn’t bring along my usual lighting rig – but it was fun (and quicker) to shoot without so much staging. We started at Pier 39 in San Francisco, and ended at Pier 7 (by the […]

1310 West Cliff Drive (Real Estate Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

This is a historical log cabin residence built in the 1930s along West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz. It’s not a big house, but you can’t beat the view, and the rustic interior is charming. Looking for an architecture / real estate photographer in Cupertino? Bay Area Architecture Photographer Chris Schmauch shows off your property […]

Morgan + Cliff (Engagement Photography) @ Natural Bridges Beach, Santa Cruz, California

Wow, there were so many keepers from this romantic and sexy engagement session, I had such a hard time picking my favorites. Cliff pulled some strings to get a last-minute photo permit to shoot at Natural Bridges, one of Santa Cruz’s most amazing natural parks; it’s got it all – fields, pine trees, sycamore groves, […]

Daniel (Business Portrait Photography) @ West Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz

Daniel is graduating from UCSC soon, and needed some professional head shots for his LinkedIn profile before heading out into the big bad world of full-time employment. We got a nice mix of casual and formal portraits on a lovely afternoon along West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz. Good luck Daniel! Recent “Business Portrait” Posts:

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 […]

Kelly + Nat (Elopement Photography) @ Wedding Rock, Carmel

Anyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows it can be simply shocking how expensive everything is. Even the smallest weddings can easily cost $15,000 – the food, venue, and of course professional services such as my own quickly add up, forcing people to ask “Is this really worth it?” To most, the answer is a resounding […]

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 […]

Multi-Generational Family (Family Photography) @ Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz

It’s always great to capture 3 generations in one photo shoot, especially at a fun location like Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. It’s no easy task to coordinate four families and their schedules for one shoot, especially when they don’t all live in the area. Luckily the stars were in alignment, the weather was gorgeous, […]

Verona + Paul (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

Verona and Paul’s wedding is coming up in a few weeks, so we couldn’t put off their engagement shoot any longer! Luckily the November weather cooperated, giving us a beautiful setting at Panther Beach (where it’s usually exceptionally windy). These two have a lot of chemistry, which makes my photo-taking job so much easier. The […]
