I had a terrific time photographing this Branham High School Senior. Despite the drizzle we managed to find some dry spots and capture some wonderful photos. Austin is a super bright (and handsome) guy who is headed to off to college this fall to study engineering. I know he is going to have a great time in college and can’t wait to hear more about his experience in the Pacific Northwesst!
I’m a branding photographer and storyteller capturing images that convey who you are and as well as
what you do.

One of my favorite ways to do a branding shoot? Take it out of the studio and into your world.
Your business has a personality — and the space you work in is part of that story.
When I recently photographed Jodi Janzen of @janzendesign we headed to @ceramictilecenter in San Rafael for part of her photo shoot. And it was SO much fun. Think, giant slabs of stone, gorgeous tiles and lots of color. It instantly showed what she actually does.
There’s something powerful about capturing the behind-the-scenes moments — flipping through samples, studying finishes, walking the aisles dreaming up ideas. That’s where your expertise comes alive.
If you’re an interior designer, let’s shoot at a tile showroom.
If you’re a winery, let`s meander through the vineyard.
If you’re a stylist, let’s be in your closet pulling looks.
Your brand photos should feel like you in action — not just you standing and smiling.
P.S Thank you again to the lovely folks at @ceramictilecenter for letting us photograph in their gorgeous showroom.
Be honest… did you crop yourself out of a random photo for your current headshot?
Your brand deserves something intentional — not “this will do for now.” If you want to chat about updating your headshot, please reach out.
I’m beyond excited to be expanding my work here in Sonoma County. I feel so fortunate to create images for local businesses in this area that we now call home.
This past weekend I did a Valentine’s Day shoot for @_littlevineyards (who happen to be our neighbors). How lucky am I??? 💕 Wine, music, flowers, and sheep grazing in the vineyard (more on that later!) made it such a joy to capture.
Feeling really grateful and Sonoma County, I’m ready for more. ✨

“I should’ve taken more photos.”
Trust me… taking plenty of photos to market your business has never been my problem. Narrowing them down? That’s the hard part. Can’t wait to share these photos with my client @janzendesign! 📷
