Bay Area Family Photographer // Bryce & Ella in harmony

Had the chance to shoot for my friends Scott & Erica from Napa the other day.  It was an awesome shoot with their two hilarious kids, Bryce and Ella.  Bryce is learning the piano and Ella is a violinist, hence the theme.  Much thanks to Erica’s brain for wanting to be out-o’-the-box on this and do something really cool.

Along the way we also got a cow anatomy lesson from Bryce…. I’m just gonna leave it at that.  :)  Enjoy a few teasers.

PS – Almost forgot – some of these images were captured on my newest obsession: medium format film.  It’s incredible, and it will be a part of what I do from now on.  Awesomeness.


Noah, Tot & a turtle

My nephew Noah is one of the funniest kids ever.  From the way he wears boots and diapers, to the Linus-like washcloth… no, not a blanket, a washcloth, to taking dips in the dogs’ waterbowl, to climbing inside his sister’s miniature dollhouse, to playing in the toilet, to dumping a bottle of powder all over the hardwood floors, to eating the dogs’ food… and the list goes on.

Anyway, got a chance to shoot him and big sis, Tater Tot (Taylor) a while ago.  Lacy finally threatened me with mayhem if I didn’t get them edited for her – sorry, Lace!  So since there was no way that kid was gonna sit still for pics, we rolled with it and ventured to the Nut Tree carousel, and then bought a turtle and went to the park to see what dude would do with it…….  :D 

Enjoy!


My wife – my mini-me’s

So my wife is always buggin’ me for pics of my own family… can you believe her nerve?? And I was supposed to do something really special for Valentine’s Day but got swamped and it didn’t happen… can you believe my nerve?? Anyway I had a rare weekend off, so we drove up to Ione, home of Preston castle and took some awesome pictures of mini-him & mini-her.

This location has some absolutely gorgeous light. The high ceilings and deteriorated interior (say that 5 times fast) just lend this drama and atmosphere that’s really beautiful.  Enough of my etymological ineptitude, here are a few thousand words to describe it a little better.  Enjoy.

Jael & Caleb – thanks for being so patient with DaddyDude’s a PIMP! Already has 5 ‘crushes’ at school. What does that mean??One of my fav ‘tricks’ to catch a moment… tell him to hold on sec – he looks down – I take pic – he gets mad at me. :D Love the lightHis butt-chin comes from Chelsea’s side of the fambly – that’s no Mexicano thing.My princessNot sure when she learned to pose – but I’ll have to post some more of her ‘flow-posing’. Not sure if I’m happy or disturbed…I think you can see me right there on her pinkyHappiness for now… but they soon tired of the posing.I’m purty lucky. God be thanked for these two blessings.
