Tria’s yoga shoot

August 2nd, 2010

My lovely and amazing friend Tria is a yoga instructor – she is building a website and wanted some photos of her practice. This was really fun – we drove up to Black Mountain Open Space Park and I did a lot of crouching in the grass to get these shots. I was trying not to think about the tarantula I saw last week in the area – ahhh, the benefits of photographing in nature.

Sat & Seth’s engagement shoot @ Mission Trails Regional Park

July 25th, 2010

My dear friends Sat & Seth are getting married in August – they are an adorable couple and are so in lurve. I had so much fun shooting them at Mission Trails, a beautiful park that’s practically in the back yard of their new home (lucky ducks!). There are so many micro-environments there. I also was able to grab a few shots of them out in front of their new home, which was really fun.

I can’t wait for their wedding at the Thursday Club, which will be photographed by the talented Jenna of Flutter Glass Photography.

Shawn – business portraits

July 8th, 2010

Today, I had a quick portrait session with Shawn, who wanted some professional business shots. I love shooting portraits outdoors, it can be a lot more visually interesting than the studio. On an overcast day like this one, the sky acts like a giant lightbox – lots of nice, even, diffuse light. This business park had some really fun reflective backgrounds, which was perfect for this type of shoot.

Tria & Jenna

I got the opportunity to shoot two of my dearest friends yesterday – Jenna of Flutter Glass Photography and Tria, a yoga instructor at Prana Yoga Center. The models’ own vintage and contemporary clothing, combined with the summery light and the california brush made for some fun textures.

May 4th, 2010

I enjoy taking business portraits because they serve a purpose but are still really fun to do. I really love the lighting in these, they were taken @ the Santa Clara Convention Center at sunset.

Some head shots for an actor from LA taken in and around little Italy. I really had a lot of fun with this one – we worked with an amazing makeup artist on this shoot – Alison Christian.
