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 […]

VIB Law II – The Courthouse Edition (Business Portrait Photography) @ San Jose, California

So, part II of our first portrait session with VIB Law – this time we met up at the Old Courthouse in downtown San Jose, California. It’s old, but with a grand stature and decor that’s absent in modern architecture. First we took a few photos in the courtroom itself, but absent a judge, jury and audience […]

VIB Law (Business Portrait Photography) @ San Jose, California

The fearless and highly skilled triad of leadership at VIB are revamping their website, and need some quality content to help populate the beautiful new design. Having worked together before, the talented fellows at WebDogs recommended VIB give me a call to help fill out the content vacuum. The goals for the initial shoot were pretty simple – headshots of […]

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 […]

Preston Wynne Staff Portraits (Business Headshot & Group Photography) @ Saratoga

Peggy decided to get her staff group photo taken by a professional this year, and knew of me because I photographed her friend’s wedding last year. The goal for the shoot was to get one big shot of all the staff – about 30 individuals. I knew that would only take a couple minutes to […]

Victor (Business Portrait) @ Ocean View Park, Santa Cruz

Victor needed some new business cards, so he thought it was a good time to update his portrait as well. Well dressed in his suit, we met for some semi-casual portraits at Ocean View Park in Santa Cruz. We took a variety of shots – close in to full body – at several locations around […]

Allegra, Phoenix and Maren – Sisters (Portrait Photography) @ Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, Cupertino

These three sisters contacted me because they wanted to create a special gift for their parents for Christmas –  a series of beautiful portraits of the three of them. They chose the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve in Cupertino as the location for the shoot since it’s a place that’s special to all of […]

Tom + Kristin = Five Awesome Kids (Family Photography) @ Seascape Beach, Aptos

OK, so there’s a lot more photos in this post than is typical for a family portrait session, but Tom and Kristin have five photogenic, fun kids that made it really hard for me to narrow them down. They live near Seascape beach in Aptos, so it was a natural choice for their family photo […]

Erin (Santa Cruz Portrait Photography) @ Wilder Ranch

I shot Erin’s fabulous Roaring 20s wedding last year, and the cool thing about doing great work for clients is that they come back to you. It so happens that Erin needed some portraits for career purposes, so we set a date in January. We almost postponed due to the forecast for rain, but we […]

The Corsiglias (Soquel Familly Photography)

Usually teenagers are less than thrilled about getting family photos taken, but these guys were all smiles for me during our shoot at their home in the mountains above Soquel. Maybe some serious bribes were involved, but I was impressed nonetheless! Here’s a few of my favorites from their family portrait session, more to see […]

Monica and Ben (Saratoga Wedding Photography) @ Saratoga Foothill Club

The first time I got to really hang out with Ben and Monica was during their Moss Beach engagement shoot at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. I pretty much make it a requirement these days for many reasons, but most of all I just like to get to know couples a little better before spending the biggest […]

David Lawson (Portrait Photography)

In these connected days, we’ve got personal and professional profiles on a myriad of different website – all with prominent places for pictures of ourselves – Facebook, LinkedIn, Match, eHarmony – just to name a few. The only thing most profile photos have in common is their nearly-universal characteristic of suckiness. Since everyone seems to […]

David Evans, Singer (Portrait Photography)

I met David this morning at Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz. Recently graduated from college back East, David is laying the foundation for his future in music – and one small part of that is publicity photos. When he initially called me, he was just looking for a headshot, but I convinced him while […]

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 […]

Christy Evans, Yoga Teacher (Portrait Photography)

This morning I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Christy Evans, a recent SoCal refugee looking to ply her Yoga trade up in these northern parts, more specifically downtown Campbell, California at aptly named The Yoga Studio. Christy is spunky, vivacious, cute, and talented – and I learned all that in the first five […]
