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.

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.

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.

Family Photos: The Wells

So much fun! I had a bit of a whirlwind project with this family, that included a lot of different photos. Our location was great, giving us walks on the beach, a little bit of playground time and some nice nature settings. I enjoyed spending the weekend getting to know Shannon and Dave and was definitely smitten with their little girl, she was just too sweet.

Family Photos: Melissa & Kayley

I met Melissa in May and really enjoyed getting to know her a bit, since she has such a friendly personality. We did family photographs a few months later and I got to meet her daughter, who is also such a fun girl. We had a great time exploring the park and the beach and there were lots of giggles, races, tickles and smiles for these photos.

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.

Family: the Luhrs

This portrait session was filled with the excitement of a house full of family & Christmas just a day away. I got to spend a bit of my holiday with this family on Christmas Eve, taking the opportunity to get family photos while everyone was in town for the holidays. The children were all very cute and I got some great expressions in the photos.
