Headshots: Dale / Accountability Coach

Always a pleasure to work with people I’ve know a long time as they continue their journeys through new work ventures. Dale needed some updated head shots for her new website and I was more than happy to meet up with her to take some relaxed photos amidst catching up. Here are just a few favorites from our photo session together.

Headshots: Plaid Love Threads (Livemore, CA)

I’m so glad that I get the chance to help out other small business owners as they grow! After branding Plaid Love Threads, we took the opportunity to do some head shots of the owner, Valerie, to use for her business. Needless to say, she shined in front of the camera and her photos turned out great.

Marketing Photos: Pop Secret

Pop Secret put together a consumer contest promotion for the most creative fort their customers could build. Since it was such a fun kit, I staged a photo session to highlight the pieces included to show what the final prize package included.

Headshots: Andy (San Francisco, CA)

I don’t mention it much on my blog, but my last corporate job was in the production department at an advertising agency. During my years there, I learned so much, got my hands onto so many new projects and worked on some big name clients. More importantly, I worked with some great people.

One of those people was Andy. Although he was in a different department, everyone at the company knew each other. This is one cool guy, and I always enjoyed talking photography with him. He’s got great technical skills and has so much knowledge about gear. As I was pursuing photography on the side, he and I would chat about lenses, light and experience.

I still return occasionally to help out doing freelance work and am happy to be called a “friend of the agency.” When Andy asked me to take some headshots for him during one of those stints, I agreed, but was definitely nervous, considering his knowledge. We headed up to the rooftop and had a quick photo session. Pretty sure I caught his best side.

Marketing Photos: Darcie Kent Vineyards

I always like to share the variety of projects I get to work on. Awhile back I was asked to do some spec work for Darcie Kent Vineyards in Livermore, working on some bottle shot photography. Below are the two I completed, which I am happy to share on my website.

Marketing Photos: Home of Peace (Oakland, CA)

I had the pleasure of returning to this beautiful old home in the Oakland, CA hills to do a new set of photos. Since I visited last time, a lot of time and effort has gone into making the rooms and common areas of this bed and breakfast more beautiful and welcoming for guests. The full set of photos extensively covers the rooms, which you can learn more about on their website. I’m choosing to share my favorite photos, that show all the natural light and details that make this 1890s house a lovely space.

San Francisco Contemporary Headshots – Rachael

Rachel came to me with an interesting project that I couldn’t resist. With an eye on acting and theater, she wanted photographs that worked as headshots, but that were more contemporary and showed some personality. With that in mind, we met up at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and got to work. She made my job easy, since she was very natural in front of the camera. Best of luck in all your endeavors Rachel!

Marketing Photos: Louise Davis

Louise came to me wanting some new headshots for her work in real estate. We chose to do her session in her beautiful and sunny backyard, where her dog kept an eye on the action.

Marketing: Hairstylists Tiffany Staat and Katie Tavres

Beautiful hair styles by some very talented ladies. Tiffany Staat and Katie Tavres created these updo styles to add to their portfolios of work. Both ladies work at Salon Murcel in San Ramon and would love to help out with your next special occasion or become your new hair stylist. Our models were also wonderful, braving the cold weather multiple times to get photos outside with some great natural light.

Marketing: Home of Peace

This photoshoot was for a place, not a person, but there is still a story to share. This old building has some beautiful details that I was happy to capture. Taking pictures of a place is a solitary thing and I took my time, wandering through the rooms and down the halls, finding the things that make this place so unique.
