We had so much fun with our first engagement shoot at Panther Beach we decided to do it AGAIN! Ok, so most brides that hire me are usually content with just one engagement session before their big day, but Samantha says she never gets photos of the two of them – and of course I’m […]

Sisters Leah and Clara stole the show during their family portrait session at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. We hit the sand near sunset and the girls had so much fun running around and playing together. I got a few posed shots, but lots of candids as well. Many beach family photo shoots end up […]

Even though I’m a Santa Cruz-based wedding photographer, I’m often traveling all over the Bay Area for my clients. Danny and Rachelle wanted their engagement shoot up in San Francisco, so I was excited to oblige. It was my first session at Stow Lake, which is part of the expansive Golden Gate Park. I got […]

Most family photo shoots involve the kids and parents, but every once in a while the grandparents have a special session with their grandkids, as Bobby and Lynda did with Victoria, Phoenix and Seth. We took the family photos at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz, then walked down to Dog Beach for a […]

Shannon and Greg are a fun, easygoing couple who aren’t afraid to roll with my crazy ideas. They wanted to have an engagement shoot at a beach in Santa Cruz, so after looking through some recent e-sessions I’ve done around the area, they settled on 3-Mile Beach. It’s a couple miles out of town, a […]

When I met up with this great little fam at Natural Bridges, I knew this little girl, Riley, was gonna make me earn my money – she’s got spunk, a little firecracker – and I loved photographing her. She breathes life into the family, much to her parents’ frustration at times I’m sure – but […]

I got to try out a new photo location when Jason and Kelley showed me “3 Mile” near their house. It’s 3 miles from downtown Santa Cruz, hence the oh-so-clever name. It’s got railroad tracks, a field of brussels sprouts, cliffs, a little lake, some awesome rock formations, and of course the ocean and beach. […]

I met Eileen, her husband and three children at Wilder Ranch tonight – and something about them seemed really familiar. Then I looked at the two boys, and had a vision of them running down the hill towards me, and then it clicked – I’d shot Eileen’s husband’s sister’s wedding last year. Duh!! With that […]

Today I met Nicole and Joey Baker and their adorable little girls Mackenzie (lil’) and Madison (lil’ bigger) at the house they rented for their Santa Cruz vacation. It was a little chillier than they expected so of course mom had to go shopping for some more appropriate accoutrement 🙂 I’m glad she did, because […]

Although this looks more like an engagement shoot, this was actually a celebration of Jack and Karen’s third wedding anniversary! Usually I don’t see a whole lot between newly married couples and those celebrating their 50th anniversaries, so it was a treat to see someone celebrating in-between, just for the heck of it. Karen surprised […]

Patrick and Mariela are expecting their first child in September, about six weeks away from our shoot. We met up around 7 in the evening and we immediately went off to a nearby park to take advantage of the golden setting sun. We had a good time shooting together – this was a maternity shoot […]

I met up with my buddy Daniel Patino today, the Executive Chef at Downtown San Jose’s Arcadia (in the Marriott Hotel). We wanted a couple photos of their Thanksgiving special which he was kind enough to plate up for me. Here’s a pic from the quick shoot below. Afterwards we went up to the 26th […]
