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 […]

Visual Branding Studio (Lifestyle Business Portrait Photography) @ Menlo Park, California

This team is a regular client of mine and needed some updated staff photos taken in their comfy little studio space in Menlo Park. We needed to show they are designers at heart, fun creative professionals. We didn’t have a ton of stuff planned out so I found inspiration in the moment. This is what we came up […]

Ethan Bearman – Media Personality and Talk Radio Host (Lifestyle Portraits) @ New Brighton Beach, Aptos, California

Ethan Bearman changes his look every couple of years, and a quick google image search proves this is no understatement. He spends more time behind the microphone than the video camera (although he’s by no means camera-shy), but maintaining and updating his image is important. Mr. Bearman had some pretty specific shots he was looking […]

Howard (Business Headshot / Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

I know head shots are not something most people look forward to. That’s why I make the process super-quick, easy and fun. If I can’t get a great shot of you in the first 3 minutes of shooting, then I’ve failed miserably. Howard’s main concern was not having a good place to shoot – his […]

Kaelin (Business Portrait Photography) @ Henry Cowell, Felton, California

I shot Kaelin and Jayson’s wedding last Fall, so she is no stranger to my photographic style and capabilities. I was humbled when she contacted me a couple weeks ago to take some head shots / business portraits of her. She told me she was bravely stepping into the world of Real Estate, and needed […]

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:

Body in Motion (Pilates / Fitness Photography) @ Aptos, California

Dominique is updating her company’s website, and one of the highlights of the redesign is a prominent panoramic-format slideshow to show off Body in Motion’s studio space and services. She’s got some amazing talent on staff, so we spent a couple hours today photographing all the things they offer. I must say it was more […]

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 […]

She needed some updated portraits/headshots to use for her business marketing material – plus all the online profiles there are today – Yelp, LinkedIn, Facebook, industry websites, etc. It’s always good to keep your official portraits up to date. Even […]

Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant (Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz

Tonight’s restaurant photography session at Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant in Santa Cruz had a few goals: portraits of both the hostess and executive chef, some evening ambiance photos, and some customer photos. Unfortunately the fog rolled in right around sunset, so the timing didn’t work out when that evening’s diners started coming in, but it’s always […]
