I just had an incredible photo shoot with a wonderful family I have been working with for years. The kids are adorable, and the parents aren’t too bad either!  We took a few terrific photographs in the creek that actually look like a band’s album cover.  Check out the attitude, the light, and the composition. If only they were in a band!

Then I set … Read more »

I was so lucky to have a young couple from Malaysia who work in Singapore contact me for engagement photography. They came to the states on business, and they decided to have their engagement photographs taken in San Francisco before returning home to the far east for their wedding.

We decided to use Bay Area landmarks as our backdrop as well as walls covered in … Read more »

This past June I was hired to photograph the wedding of Amaryah and Jake in Connecticut.  The ceremony and the reception were held at The Mill on The River, an incredible historic site.  The location was absolutely gorgeous.  An abondoned grist mill from the 1700’s has been rebuilt into a restaurant and events site.  The historic nature of the site brought a palpable dimension … Read more »

I just finished shooting a truly breathtaking wedding at Viansa in Sonoma Valley, the wedding of Deanna and Marty.  It was a real pleasure to photograph their special day together in the most spectacular of settings.  Photographing the Viansa Winery takes me back to the old country –to Tuscany.  Everything about the location is authentic from the Italian varietal grapes, to the lovingly tended olive … Read more »

This year, we have had a plethora of High School Seniors come in for their portraits, and we have been having a blast.  These are NOT your run-of-the-mill, graduating class pictures.  Each photograph is as unique as the individual captured on film.  You will never see two identical,  Senior portraits.

Location, location, location!  We have scouted out so many new and exciting locations to use … Read more »

I have been working with the Sutter Health System for quite some time now, and it has been a wonderful relationship.  They originally hired me to take photographs for their library, but the gig has turned into so much more.  I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful physicians from all across northern California, and to see them with their patients.  I am … Read more »

I have begun training at Wine Country CrossFit, and I’ll tell you what… this program is amazing.  Now I’ll be honest, I don’t exactly need to loose weight, but I do have aspirations to someday be a beast.  If anyone can help me, it’s Beth Rypins.  She’s a beast –and of course, I mean that in the very best way.  She’s a world champion … Read more »
