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 […]

Cafe Cruz in Soquel wanted to show off their awesome romantic ambiance – different areas inside and out on the patio that are all next to open fireplaces or fire pits. They certainly add a lot of figurative and literal warmth to the locale. Here’s a few photos highlighting the spaces with some couples. Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

This was a dual restaurant shoot – with the goals to shoot some of Cafe Cruz’s more popular dishes as well as get some lifestyle portraits of some couples enjoying the nighttime ambience indoors near the fireplace and outdoors on the patio – by another fireplace and a fire pit.

I was hired to shoot architectural interior and exterior photos of Fogo de Chao’s newest location at Santana Row in San Jose, California. There are several challenges to this spot – it’s on a high traffic location (both foot traffic from the mall and cars from the main roads), it has a stoplight and streetlight right in […]

La Posta has been creating some delicious Italian food in the Seabright neighborhood of Santa Cruz for a few years now. The chef is a little camera-shy, but is clearly proud of the food her kitchen is producing. Their pizzas are amazing, and I can’t wait to bring home some of their french bread loaves that […]

Lillian’s Italian Kitchen is one of those rare gems of a restaurant – family-owned, immensely popular, and probably benefitting from never really growing bigger. The restaurant itself is really small, really only enough room for maybe 25 people at a time. So it’s not unusual to show up and see a crowd of people outside […]

Bantam is a relatively new restaurant on Fair Ave. on the West side of Santa Cruz off Mission. It’s got a decidedly cool atmosphere with its distressed/recycled wood and artistic touches like the enormous airplane propeller-style fan. They’re known for their wood-fired pizzas which I was happy to photograph while I was there. Here’s a […]

Roy’s needed some new interiors highlighting the different layout options they have for (semi) private-dining parties, and since we’ve worked successfully in the past together, they chose me for yet another restaurant interior photo shoot! Since I was there, I went ahead and shot the whole restaurant (it’s amazing if you haven’t been there!). Mostly […]

South Bay Accent Magazine contacted me because they were doing a story on the best Tapas restaurants in the South Bay; I went to Ciano’s in Campbell, Donostia in Los Gatos, La Catalana and Picasso’s Tapas in downtown San Jose, and The Basin in Saratoga. The best part about food photography is working with amazing […]
