It’s been a busy wedding season, and I have basically been planted at my computer processing day and night. I needed to get out and photograph something for me, something that wouldn’t have a deadline.  So off I went with the kids.  It was last Friday……..which I think was the hottest day EVER.   Jake...

Photographer in Training!!

On a recent visit to the beach in San Diego, my son Jake was especially passionate about capturing some really cool sunset images!  For his sixth birthday, he wanted a camera more than he wanted new toys, which really says something since he loves his toys!  Now, whenever I go out to scout locations, he always...

Mandi - September 1, 2009 - 2:50 am

He is too cute. I hope when I marry and have children at least one of my kids will want to do photography also. It would be cool to do that together. My dad use to shoot but doesn’t do it with me anymore.

San Francisco Wedding Photography at the Clift Hotel

clift-hotel-san-francisco-2

I must admit that I often forget how hip San Francisco is.  Since I mostly work in the wine country, Carmel, or on the beaches of San Diego…….this urban wedding rekindled my city spirit.  If I had time, I would just go hang at the Clift Hotel and people watch with camera in hand.  Dominik and Mukund were married...
