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 […]

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, […]

Ellen + John (Engagement Photography) @ UCSC Arboretum, Santa Cruz, California

I love exploring new locations for any shoot, and today’s engagement session with Ellen and John was practically in my back yard at the UCSC Arboretum! Now, since it’s November, nothing was really in bloom, and even the succulents looked like hibernating, but we meandered the expansive trails and found all kinds of nooks to […]

Alexis + Adam (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

I met with Alexis and Adam for the second time today for their engagement shoot at Panther Beach (the first when we chatted about wedding stuff back in February). I was worried because of the whitecaps I was seeing on the ocean while driving up Hwy 1, but then I remembered Alexis’ short hair, and […]

Jamie + Matt (Engagement Photography) @ Lagunas Beach, Santa Cruz

Jamie and Matt are getting married at Ranch Soquel in a few months, but were smart to take advantage of my engagement photography service, recognizing it as not only a good chance to get to know me better, but as valuable practice for taking photos together. I truly believe that a 1-2 hour shoot in […]

Meaghan + Brad (Engagement Photography) @ Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz

Meaghan found me online, and even though she’s having a friend shoot her wedding, she wanted a local photographer to capture her and Brad’s country spirit for her engagement session. When she said she wanted a barn/farm-like atmosphere, I knew we’d have to shoot at Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz. The green fields, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Astra + Steve (Engagement Photography) @ Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

I’ve known Astra for over a decade, so I was really excited when she’d told me she got engaged to this awesome guy named Steve. He makes her so happy, you can just see it in their eyes when they look at each other. Of course they’ve got some serious chemistry going on, which I […]
