The client I mentioned in my last post launched their new website, with our portraits everywhere! Yay! Center for the Health Professions is great to work with. My team and I photographed a variety of health professionals - dentists, pharmacists, doctors, nurses and administrators at their offices at the University of California San Francisco. The […]

New Client Advertising Photos

One of my favorite clients is doing a new marketing campaign, and a few weeks ago asked me to photograph a variety of staff and clients over two days. I love getting to work with real people and helping them feel comfortable! Here are some outtakes that I like:

Powdering the Cows
Oct.07, 2008

Last week I was sweating away in a field in Marin, dodging cow pies. Community service? Frat boy prank? No…photo shoot. And a really fun one. I’m really excited to be working on an advertising campaign with a client who is absolutely fantastic. I can’t post images until the campaign is published, but this one […]

I love that my new office is at ActivSpace in the Mission - I meet so many great people! One of them is Kimberly Yap Tan, an esthetician.

Last week my friend Tonya asked me to create some business portraits for her, but she didn’t want the “Sears Portrait Studio on a plain backdrop” look (although oddly enough, I just met a couple last night who are looking for that exact idea - kind of a 70’s throwback - which will actually be […]

American Society of Media Photographers, Strictly Business 2
Apr.14, 2008

I’m just back from this incredible conference in Chicago, called Strictly Business 2 put on by ASMP, which was all about the business of photography. Since the tag line for the conference was “Put your camera down and focus on your business”, I didn’t even bring my camera. For an event photographer like me, that […]

Casey and Krista
Mar.29, 2008

I’m so excited, I’ve been so busy lately! Four photo sessions for three different clients in two days…which seems a bit crazy, and now I need a bath and a beer.
