When I first met up at Sand Harbor a couple weeks ago with Reinee and Seth for their engagement session, I knew instantly they were going to be my creative fun couple that would allow me to go outside-the-box with them for their photography. We met up at dusk on the Lake Tahoe’s west shore [...]
Sometimes, just because I can, and because of friends’ influences, I take a break and just go PLAY. Yesterday was one rarity of day when my friend Ingrid and I went to explore a ghost town in Plumas County. I love ghost towns. I really need to get out to Bodie again and soon. I [...]
Alex has the coolest doors to his closet in his loft. They have these awesome pegs and with tied rope, which totally makes me think sadomasochistic photographs. Alex and Monica were married at the Claremont Resort and Spa in Berkeley back in November. She their wedding photographs here. I was lucky enough today to visit [...]
I came down to Oakland yesterday to visit my friend, Amy, as well as photograph a wedding in Santa Clara. The wedding was awesome, I’ll have images to post soon, but also was looking for some creative time with my friend, who is also a photographer. The weather is seriously rainy today, and I’m always [...]
Last week I attended WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) in Las Vegas.

As I attempt to grasp what I’ve learned thus far here at WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) annual conference in Las Vegas, I am overwhelmed with ideas and dreams and Oh-I-don’t-even-know-how-to-describe-it type sensations. I’ve never been a big fan of Vegas, and I’m slowly getting used to the mirror on the ceiling over my bed, [...]
About a month ago, I took a few days to visit my friend, Sean, up in Grass Valley. I have always called him my bright and shiny happy smiley face, because I feel bright and shiny and happy and smiley whenever I’m around him. He’s such a great comfort to me, a great positive influence [...]
I proposed the idea to my hair dresser, Stephanie, as I was getting my hair done last month about doing a creative shoot. Stephanie is one of the owners at An Epic Salon in Reno, and I am so stoked she was excited as I was about this shoot. I wanted to play with artificial [...]
Okay, okay, me and my previews. I just get so excited to see the photos, I can’t help but post my favorite from my initial edit. This is Pheenix from our shoot today at O’skis in Sparks. Four models, two hair stylists, and two makeup artists. It was such a hugh production I was so [...]
In October and November, I did quite a bit of contract work for a wedding photography company in the San Francisco Bay. I had this idea in my to create a collage, black and white on black backgrounds of all the couples I photographed. This is result of the four different day sessions on numerous [...]
