When I was a kid my dad would always ask “What did you learn in school today?” “Nothing!”, I would say. We’ll hope it wasn’t always the truth. But I definitely did learn something in school today! I had the opportunity to be part of a fun little project. A dear friend and client asked […]

I had the pleasure of joining an event that might have otherwise flown under the radar on Saturday night at Thriving Discoveries. Thriving Discoveries is a party put on by Pleasanton’s independent T-shirt company Thriving Ink in their Backyard venue (The BackYard). On this particular Saturday I ended up enjoying a lovely night with great […]

NYC – so much can be said about this city. There is no place like it in the world. I was fortunate enough to go there for a little R&R and a little photo shooting. Joeleen is so sweet! One of those people who you can just tell is super genuine. She wanted some pictures […]

Lenny and Ana are DJ’s, producers, good friends, and share many common bonds. One of them is the drive to do what you love. In this case? MUSIC! They both have a passion for music. They make it and love to play it. Lenny and Ana were lucky enough to win a sitting with me. […]

This is actually Colin’s third photo shoot. For Colin’s first shoot, he was in his mama’s belly – a maternity shoot. For the second shoot he was one (see here.) This third shoot was a bit of a challenge. We had tried a few weeks before and he was just having one of those days […]

A year ago I came across a website dedicated to the photos of Jamie Livingston. He took a picture a day with a Polaroid camera from March 31, 1979 to October 25, 1997, the day of his death. It was so amazing to me to see this man’s life day by day, year by year. […]

While on the elliptical this morning I was practically dying from the lack of attention I have been showing the gym lately. It’s got me thinking about the new year, resolutions, and goals.
