Photographing The Wharf Rats at the Salty Seal in Monterey Live for Promotional Photos and Video
How did I end up making promotional photos and a video of The Whatf Rats at the Salty Seal in Cannery Row in Monterey, California on a recent Saturday evening? All through the Pacific Grove Rotary Club of course! Fellow Rotarian, Matt, is the singer and guitarist for the band and he asked if I could come to their performance and make a series of photos of them performing, and then at their start of their second set list, make video of those songs. The lighting was better than I expected resulting in more dynamic still photos and the proximity I could get to the band members while they were playing allowed for close up video shots. The video above features the start of them playing Black Magic Woman, which we did not coordinate, I knew the song pretty well, and with a bit of luck and a bit of good timing, was able to record from start into the opening of the lyrics like we practiced it many times! Thank you Matt for this opportunity and for choosing me as your photographer and videographer.

Read MoreChristina had a 5-star headshot experience at my photo studio in Pacific Grove California
I welcome headshots clients to my photography studio in Pacific Grove, California to have a relaxed, and even fun photo session experience. Christina sent example headshots that were helpful in me preparing the studio before she even arrived so when she did, all was ready to go to make headshots that matched the examples, but still with my own signature style and quality. This in turn allowed Christina to get headshots she liked so much she gave the photo session a 5 star review (see below) and it also did not take up up more than 15 minutes of her time. Thank you Christina for the kind review and for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

This was my second Airbnb photography shoot for Crystal (first shoot). It is always a great compliment to get repeat business from a client! This cozy, remodeled Airbnb is in Seaside, California. The client requested only interior photos this time. Crystal had her Seaside vacation rental property staged very well making it easy and efficient to photograph making both featuring and highlighting (more close up) photos to show off the space itself, and the comfortable and convenient amenities included for guests staying at this Airbnb. Thank you Crystal for continuing to choose me as your Airbnb photographer and for seeing the value in having professional photography for your Airbnb properties!
Read MoreShowcasing the After: Professional Photography for Luxury Bathroom Renovations in Pebble Beach
Long time client Adelle of Murrer Construction was telling me about a special project she had coming up in Pebble Beach. So recently I met her in Pebble Beach for the big reveal of this special project and to make renovation photos of it. Her construction company was doing renovations to two bathrooms, all custom work. Even the vanities were handmade, custom for each bathroom, one en suite of the main bedroom and the other for a featured bathroom on the main floor of the house. Onyx was used for the shower walls. Then backlit mirrors with no frames, that look super cool, mounted over those custom vanities. I made sure to take a photo with full lights on, and lights dimmed to show these unique lighting features, as well as getting direct shots of the custom vanities. Then the onyx shower bench was another unique feature that I highlighted to show off the creative and quality work that Adelle and her team at Murrer Construction do. Thank you Adelle for continuing to choose me as your photographer and for your trust to make photos of these amazing bathroom renovations!
