Olga

In an effort to promote the new website, I ran an ad for Portrait sessions, and Olga was one of the first to respond. We ended up shooting two different locations on two different days..The images in this gallery were taken at Liberty Station and on the beach in Pt Loma.. We were fortunate and got good late afternoon light on both shoots.

For information on booking a session, please email me.

OB Morning Surf - October 22, 2009

Yet another beautiful day in paradise... Ok. so yea, the water is dipping in temperature and the full-suits are out of the closet. But something about the smell of wet neoprene in the morning somehow triggers another vivid memory...
With Winter around the corner, thoughts turn to those of crisp steps in cold sand. Cold sand that leads to smooth corners groomed by slight east winds and a bright, clear sunrise...

Beach Portraits

Living close to the ocean and being a native to the area affords me some great spots for Family Portraits
on San Diego's beaches...

Having local knowledge of where and when
the light will be good
is critical to great photos.

These were taken about a mile from my studio for the Christian Family.

Beach Portraits - Makenna

A good friend of mine asked me to shoot some images of her daughter Makenna...

It was a challenge, because like a lot of kids her age, she does not embrace the idea of photos being taken of her.

With most subjects, I try to catch them just being themselves, as this usually produces the best results and brings out the soul in an image.

The beautiful thing about digital photography is the instant feedback. Both the photographer and the subject can view the images right after they are taken. Once I showed a few images to Makena, she loosened up a bit, began to trust what I was shooting and even allowed me to pose her for some dramatic effect.

Longboard Classic

September 19th, 2009 at Crystal Pier.....
Great Event in less than perfect 1-3ft surf... by the time the semis and finals rolled around the tide was dropping quickly and the surf with it... with a little corner here and there the contestants made the best of it on classic, vintage 60s longboards...

The Digital Age

Ok.... So after shooting film since 1991... (yes, FILM)... I decided it was time to join The Digital Age and buy a digtial SLR.

Having shot Canon most of my adult life (that and the fact that my video gear all interfaces with Canon lenses) it was pretty much a no-brainer to go with a Canon.

These were some of the first images captured.....

These were shot in late March of '09...
