Krystiana and I had a great time exploring San Francisco’s Mission District and then heading up to the Marin headlands. Krystiana is an aspiring model and we had such a fantastic time together. Below are few of my favorites.

Krystiana – sneak peek
I had the pleasure to photograph Krystiana just for fun. She is an adorable, smart, petite, athletic aspiring model. We had a fun time getting to know each other and playing around with different locations and concepts. Here’s one of my favorites from our time together using off-camera lighting techniques. More to come…
Katharina turns 8
My niece Katharina turned 8 last month. I had the pleasure of taking her birthday portraits during the Thanksgiving break while visiting my family in LA. She is sweet, smart, athletic, sensitive, funny, artistic and just wonderful. Can you tell I’m a proud tia? She picked out her own outfits and her and her sisters did her hair & make-up. It was so wonderful to do these photos and also practice my off-camera lighting with studio lights. Thank you brother G for setting up your portable studio! Feliz Cumpleanos, Katharina! I love you very much!
Here’s a little ‘behind the curtain’ shot where you could see a little bit of our setup.
We listened and danced to Michael Jackson during the shoot and we just had to get her with a hat in his honor.
All the Smith girls have amazing hair and I loved getting this series of pictures with her awesome natural hair (that’s _never_ been cut!):
I made up a silly ‘knock-knock’ joke (that didn’t even make sense) and she cracked up. She’s so funny.
Valerie Rose | musician, more
I wanted to share some a few more photos from Valerie’s music promo shoot. Here are some more of my favs:
I love that she was willing to get into this cave, now known to us as the ‘magic cave.’ 🙂 Yes, shoes were muddied in the process of taking this picture.
Valerie Rose| Musician
Valerie Rose is a super talented Irish singer and fiddler in the SF Bay Area. This week I had the pleasure to shoot her promotional shots at the College of Notre Dame to go with the Celtic theme we were going for. Here’s a sneak peek of one of my favorite shots of the session:
Preston Castle – sneak peek
Yesterday I had an amazing day with 7 other East Bay Wedding photographers shooting 4 models and tons of designer dresses provided by Image Provocateur at Preston Castle in Ione. A huge ‘thank you’ to my very talented photographer friend, Jessie Cho, who organized the event for us. There will be a bigger post about this once I process some other work but for now here’s a peek for you.
