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 […]

Sam H (Family Photography) @ West Cliff Drive & Fair Ave., Santa Cruz, California

Even grown-up families need a good family portrait from time to time. We snuck this shoot in after Christmas, but before New Year’s. Luckily the weather was super nice, and this was more of a mini-shoot. We took photos along West Cliff Drive (near Fair Ave.) with the ocean in the background. A few of […]

The Charmans (Family Photography) @ Ocean View Park, Santa Cruz

This was a fun photo shoot with multiple families at Ocean View Park in Santa Cruz. It’s got great views of the boardwalk and ocean (as its name states), and lots of great locations around the park to shoot. Since we were a pretty large group, we didn’t walk around as much as I would […]

Multi-Generational Family (Family Photography) @ Seabright Beach, 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, […]

Chandra + Jason = Ahnise > Sterling (Family Photography) @ Wilder Ranch, Santa Cruz

Liz + Ben = Leah > Clara (Family Photography) @ Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz

Sisters Leah and Clara stole the show during their family portrait session at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz.
