I recently got to meet this little guy! Look at that face! I photographed Zach and Hannah’s wedding a few years ago, and was so excited that they asked me to take some new family portraits while I was in town over Thanksgiving. This is just a little preview with more to come … I’m [...]

Our friend Jessica just graduated from graduate school! We’re super proud of her, of course … To commemorate, we took some fun married-couple-portraits of Jessica and her husband Fernando on her college’s campus. They’ve been married almost 5 years and this is their first REAL set of photos since then … F&J: You two are [...]

Today I wanted to share the second half of Maggie’s headshots – taken specifically for her portrait photography business. These images in front of the chainlink fence are some of my favorites! I love the way the light hit her as she leaned toward the camera! Having natural, welcoming photos of yourself for your business [...]

April 1, my friend Maggie released her first eBook: How to Shoot Your Kids! As I was reading through it, getting to the end I all of a sudden realized I had never posted the headshots of Maggie I took last year! She is still using them, so I’m guessing that’s a good sign …. [...]

Continuing with the second half of Miss K’s boudoir portrait session. Her man is a firefighter, so we thought a little themed outfit could be a lot of fun. We found a secluded spot in the woods to take these images. Although, we shot this really (really) fast. Just in case. Since we were technically [...]

Boudoir photos are SO.MUCH.FUN. We soley went out ‘on location’ …. to a beach (early enough in the morning before there were many people there), and then in a more woodsy location (as secluded as you can find at a campsite). Those photos to come … (p.s. for privacy reasons we won’t showing her face, [...]

A couple weeks ago I took some headshots for my friend Maggie. Not just because – She recently launched her portrait photography website – Maggie Keegan Gross Photography. (you may remember Maggie as my 2nd shooter for Keith and Shannon’s Paso Robles vineyard wedding). I have quite a few of her headshots that I just [...]

For the 2nd part of our Just Because styled portrait shoot … we had given up on the balloons. Which reminds me, I have another idea for a styled photo shoot, but it would be a NIGHTMARE for a windy day … so I have to get up the courage My friend Maggie had come [...]
