I shot event photography for the Jewish Federation of San Diego at their annual women’s event “OPTIONS.” Nancy Spielberg, that director’s sister and an accomplished film producer, director and writer herself, delivered a very entertaining keynote about family, faith and careers. I shot step-and-repeat photos, then walked around the event to capture smiles from the […]

I love event photography clients that “get it.” They take the simple but important steps to enable me to do my job well. They communicate expectations and logistics ahead of time, allowing me to mentally and technically prepare for the shoot ahead. They also don’t put up any barriers between me and a successful shoot – like having […]

As part of my music photo/video project BPM Live Sessions, I shot San Diego singer-songwriter and all around awesome lady, Heather Nation in my North Park studio. You can watch the shoot in real time as we broadcasted to Facebook Live.

It’s always a great feeling for me when a band’s name completely matches their sound and aesthetic. Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band makes that happen with every funky set with which they grace us. (<— strong grammar right there) These motherfunkers played the 2015 Mustache Bash with style, outlandish wardrobe & props, and a sound that would certainly […]

Under Cover at The Office Bar in North Park, San Diego is a monthly event that pays homage to an iconic band or artist. This month we saw San Diego musicians come together for an awesome night of AC/DC’s music. The Band: Andrew McKeag (guitar) from The Presidents of the USA William Driskill (drums) from Buckfast Superbee Cliff Cunningham (bass) […]

The Floozies headlined the 2015 Mustache Bash, a concert festival that I shot in downtown San Diego last March. With the 2016 Mustache Bash coming up, I’ll share some shots of this really funky electro duo.

For this swimwear photoshoot, we went to Blacks Beach near Torrey Pines Gliderport. It was an overcast day but that gave us bright, even lighting. The sand there is lighter than beaches in central San Diego so it acts almost like an enormous reflector to help fill in shadows. You get massive sky and ocean […]

Jesse found me on Yelp when he was planning his proposal to Megan. He chose Windansea Beach and we coordinated how we’d meet up without Megan knowing. This was my fourth time capturing an unpredictable but special moment like this, so I knew to expect the unexpected and brought two cameras to be sure I […]

Tiara found me on Yelp and we all met up for an engagement photoshoot in Balboa Park. They were a little nervous but we ended up capturing some great, natural photos and had fun in the process. Here are some of my favorites. Congrats to these long-distance Army/Navy lovers who will soon be married in San Diego!

An old friend came touring through southern California last week with his band called SHARK WEEK. Aside from having a great band name, these surf-pop garage rockers put on a high energy show. This was my first time at The Merrow – but it won’t be the last. Great venue. Great band. Really fun night. […]
