Kids :)

The other day my nephew was in town for a couple of days. So when i picked him up I asked him what he wanted to do? In typical 7 year old fashion he told me, “hunt for lizards”. So we drove up north and had a great day hiking, feeding chickens, climbing trees, catching lizards and just enjoying all the things that nature has to offer. Every time I hang out with him it reminds me of simple times and how just taking a break from the every day grind can be therapeutic. There is a beautiful world out there that should be enjoyed often. Thanks to my nephew for being such a great kid and reminding me about that!

Michelle and Jim

This was such a fun relaxed engagement shoot. I started the day out taking a walk with Michelle and Jim and their two dogs. We walked in the hills surrounding their house in El Grananda and got some really great shots. We then went down to the beach and finished off the day at the Sutro Baths in San Francisco. With all the rain that we have been having we were a little worried prior to the date, but the day of the shoot it was around 70 degrees and just perfect. I love my job!

Venus Research and Development

Grace is a local Santa Cruz resident who is the owner of Venus Research and Development. Grace contacted me about taking some photos of her and her co-worker. We had a great time shooting at their lab and then to an outdoor location.

Shoot For Heidi Says Boutique

Recently I had the honor to shoot these images for Heidi Says Boutique in San Francisco. Since a majority of my work is wedding related it was nice to take a small break and shoot something different. The shoot was a lot of fun and I was really pleased with the images. Thanks a lot to Kate our model for all her hard work!

Oswald Restaurant

This is my favorite restaurant in town. If you have never been here, you should really
go. I worked here while attending college. The owners Damani and Keet are two great
friends of mine and I am all about supporting local business. So guys and galls if you
have not yet made your Valentine’s day reservations pick up the phone and call
831-423-7427. You probably won’t get a reservation because you should have called
about 2 weeks ago but at least you tried?

Guatemala

Last year my good friend Paul Schreiner and I traveled through Guatemala for about two weeks. It wound up being a really amazing trip. We met a bunch of really great people, found some pretty fun waves, threw a fun pinata party for the local kids and explored through the jungle. Here are a few photos from the trip
