Quick & Easy Headshot Photography in Pacific Grove for LinkedIn and Online Job Profiles
Raquel visited my headshot studio in downtown Pacific Grove because she needed just two great headshots for her LinkedIn profile — nothing more, nothing less. In a quick, easy, and painless studio photo session, we created exactly what she wanted: one headshot with a big smile and one with a medium smile. I keep things simple, fun, and friendly so the process feels effortless, even if you are a shy photo taker. Best of all, Raquel got high-quality professional headshots at great value — just the two images she needed to refresh her online presence without spending extra. Thank you Raquel for choosing me as your headshot photographer!

What is was like judging the 2025 Pacific Grove Rotary Concours Auto Rally
This summer I have been an invited guest to the Pacific Grove Rotary Club luncheons. After getting to know what the club is more about, I have decided to join, and even before becoming an official member, the club asked me to be a judge for its annual Pacific Grove Rotary Concours Auto Rally during Monterey Car Week! I am a car enthusiast and know a lot about a lot of cars, but I have never judged a show before. Luckily, there were not that many criteria to judge each car on. Basically there were 17 categories, 13 specific ones, and 4 overall “grand prizes” to consider for each car. Of the 250+ entries, it was on me to judge the even numbered entries, along with one other judge doing evens, and two other judges doing odds, so that each car had two judges assessing it.
New Member Orientation with the PG Chamber was a huge meet and greet!
The second New Member Orientation event of the year held by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce nearly tripled in size! It’s a great event where new members, and old, can really learn what the chamber can offer a local PG business. As an ambassador for the chamber, I attended welcoming the new members, and of course, as a professional photographer, brought my camera to help out the chamber by making photos of everyone holding fun “I’m In” signs. If you are a PG chamber member new or old, be sure and check out the next one!
Headshot Photography Studio open in Pacific Grove for LinkedIn and other business profiles
Everett visited my photography studio in downtown Pacific Grove, California wanting new headshots to use on his LinkedIn profile. I listened to what he wanted in terms of background color and pose, making him one headshot on my new modern gray background in more of a profile pose and then another on a clean white background posed more straight forward. I always offer the client just what they want, and if the client just wants the two edited headshots that come with the starting price headshot session, then I make exactly that for them! Great job in front of the camera Everett and thank you for choosing me as your headshot photographer.
Ferrari Owners line up Ocean Ave in Carmel for Monterey Car Week 2025
Another car show event for Monterey Car Week 2025 today. This time I went to Carmel for Prancing Ponies on Ocean Ave. The main street down the heart of Carmel is Ocean Ave, and indeed ends right at the ocean. The beach was not the center of attention today though, it was a lineup of Ferrari cars from across the generations to the latest 12 cylinder GT car, to classic racing cars from the 50s. I even got to see my personal favorite, the 458 Speciale Aperta. None of the Ferrari Big 5 (now 6) nor the Daytona SP3 which was disappointing though. Still, the sun was out and it was a beautiful afternoon for viewing fast and beautiful Italian sports cars!
Pacific Grove annual The Little Car Show brings a big crowd in 2025
One of the benefits of living in downtown Pacific Grove is that many very cool events are just walking distance away. Such was the case today with The Little Car Show taking place just two blocks from both my photo studio and apartment. I really enjoyed this car show because it was not the usual kinds of cars you see at the average car show. Many cars I had never even heard of before, let alone have seen before. So many of the car owners started talking to me about their cars with such interesting stories and history with their cars. One person with a VW van took his now wife out on their first date in it. All these years later, he just finished restoring it with his daughter. What an amazing story it was! Thank you to all the car owners who came to Pacific Grove today!
