So Long, East Bay!
I’m moving across the bay to San Francisco next month, and feeling a bit nostalgic for all the gorgeous locations I’ve photographed in Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda.
Before I go, I want to send a great, big THANK YOU to all of my East Bay clients, and share some of my favorite images shot here. (Can you recognize where these photos were taken?) Continue reading “Best East Bay Photo Shoot Locations”
Spring arrived a little late in Cleveland this year, but that did not stop us from having some fun photo shoots. And, I have to say, I did a bit of exploring the third wave coffee situation.

I love wall mural family portraits. In 2017, I photographed lots of families in front of lots of different walls and street art installations, literally coast to coast. A bunch of these were shot in Cleveland, a couple in New York. And several were captured along the West Coast from Long Beach to San Francisco to Seattle.

It was important to them that their photos reflected their artistic taste, because they were keen to create some family photo display pieces for their new home. So they commissioned me to capture it on actual film. We booked a 2-hour session because they wanted it to be relaxed and give them time to warm up to the camera.
