  • New Portrait Photography Pricing

    Due to popular demand, I’ve added a new pricing tier to my portrait photo sessions. Want some nice photos of you and your sweetie, or you and your dog, or just your dog, but don’t really need 80 photos? No problem. I’ve added a new “Easy Photo Shoot” option: a quick photo session (45 min [...]

  • Baby Pictures: Drake at 3 Months

    Another great photo session with one of my favorite families: Sydnie, Scott, and Drake. We did the shoot at their house in Georgetown, CA, and Sydnie wanted to show off the nursery she worked so hard on. Since we spent the entire time inside, I didn’t have any natural light to work with. Instead, I created [...]

  • 3 Critical Tips for Storing Photos

    So you have a lot of photos. And that’s not surprising, given all the cameras, phones, and even sunglasses that take pictures these days. These photos – whether professional images or phone snapshots – are important to us. But just because you’ve downloaded them to your computer doesn’t mean they’re safe. 1. Have multiple copies [...]

  • A Look Back: Some Favorites From 2011

    2011 was a great year, where I got to meet and photograph a lot of awesome people for weddings, babies, and just hanging out. A big thanks to all my clients — I’m looking forward to working with some of you again soon!  

  • Baby Pictures: Presenting Drake

    When I photographed Sydnie and Scott’s wedding, little did I know I’d get the opportunity to document their family actually growing. I photographed a maternity session with them last summer, and then this follow-up shoot with one-month-old Drake. Congrats on the beautiful baby boy, you two! I’m looking forward to watching (and photographing!) Drake grow [...]

  • Family Pictures in a Tattoo Shop: Wei-Lin, Justin, and Jaydon

    My cousin Wei-Lin has never had professional photos taken with her family. (Even at her wedding: their photographer didn’t show up, and they had to make do with friends’ and family’s snapshots. Yikes.) So when she asked if I would take some family pictures of her with her husband Justin and son Jaydon, I jumped [...]

  • Dog Photos: Finnegan & Rio, Oro Valley, Arizona

    It’s possible there are dogs in southern Arizona that are more spoiled and loved than Finnegan and Rio, but it’s hard to imagine. They run, romp, and roll around the golf course twice a day; when it gets too hot, they swim in their pool. And when they’re hungry? There’s Anne-Marie with the treats . [...]

  • Cave Creek, AZ Wedding: Lissett & Brig

    Brig and Lissett are one of those surprising, off-beat, totally-engaged, never-a-dull-moment kind of couple. Take their wedding, for example. The wedding was held in an unexpectedly rough-and-tumble Arizona frontier-town-themed Cave Creek Smokehouse, complete with wagon wheels, hay bales, and an old wooden bridge over a pond. Add vibrantly-blooming bougainvillea, pretty tree-lights and a charming brick [...]

  • One Year Anniversary: Sydnie & Scott

    A year ago today we had the pleasure to photograph Sydnie & Scott on their big day in the barn. They were married at the historic Bayley House barn in Pilot Hill, CA, and we had a blast spending the day with them and their friends and family. Congrats you two!

  • Placerville Wedding: Alicia & Todd

    One of the first things you notice about Alicia and Todd is that they’re always laughing together. Grins, giggles, guffaws, and all-out head-thrown-back from-the-belly laughs – they rarely quit laughing. Even as things ran late; even as the temps neared 100; even as their guests scattered hither and yon while trying to herd them together [...]
