Villa Montalvo engagement session

Rainy day engagement session at Villa Montalvo

engagement session
I was a little worried about the rain while driving to meet Rebecca & Michael at Villa Montalvo for their engagement session. I have been looking forward to shooting at this stunning Saratoga venue for a long time. Although I would prefer spring time and a sunny day, rain and winter were the couple’s theme.
rain umbrellas
I love their umbrellas and sense of style.
I’m looking forward to 2013 and a spring wedding at Villa Montalvo when the wisteria is in bloom! Hopefully I’ll be back before then. If you have an idea for a fun themed portrait session, give me a call! 831-325-4183

3rd Annual Santa Cruz Love Project

I’m very excited to announce the 3rd annual Santa Cruz Love Project!

Saturday February 11, 2012

11am – 2pm

In the classroom at the Cruzio Building, 877 Cedar Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

This year proceeds from the event will benefit Grind Out Hunger, a program that works with Second Harvest Food Bank and local schools to raise awareness and funds to feed those less fortunate in Santa Cruz County. It’s really shocking that 1 in 4 children in Santa Cruz County are food insecure. This year, with your help, we have a goal to raise $5000. Please help us spread the word about our portrait event!

If you have been planning on updating your headshot or wanting to have a portrait taken with your loved one, please plan on attending this fundraiser. We will have several backdrops to choose from including a floral frame designed by Lezlie Johnson from Grand Design. We’ll have stylists Lorene and Roze from Oebius Salon on hand to ensure you look your very best in front of the camera. We’ll also have Valentine treats and a raffle. We are suggesting a $50 donation however, amounts larger or smaller will be greatly appreciated. Call Rebecca 831-325-4183 for more information or to schedule your appointment.

Santa Cruz Family Portraits

I really enjoy photographing families on location and there are plenty of awesome vistas in Santa Cruz.

Natural Bridges is one of my favorite places for family portraits. The beach is nice and there are also a lot of trees and and grassy areas in the park.

Downtown has a lot of funky and cools spots including my favorite staircase to the mission.

Brick walls always make a nice backdrop.

I always try to include casual or candid portraits as well as formal, more traditional poses.  If you have been wanting to have a family portrait taken in Santa Cruz, give me a call 831-325-4183.

Boudoir Photography Santa Cruz

Happy New Year!

Valentine

I hope that this is your best year yet! I thought I’d start my year off right by posting a few images from a favorite recent boudoir session. I usually photograph girls in white dresses, families and babies and lately I’ve been having more requests for Boudoir sessions. Usually these sessions include champagne, stylists and a whole lot of laughter! Boudoir is definitely a different kind of portrait session.

If you have ever wanted to surprise your loved one with sexy pictures of yourself for Valentine’s Day, give me a call! 831-325-4183

Beat the Valentine’s Day rush and schedule your session today! Website  Facebook  Twitter
