Waikiki

2008-04-15T18:16:00.001-07:00

Just came back from a week in Hawaii, i need a vacation from the vacation. Traveling with 3 little kids can be chalanging

but between making sure the kids don't set the hotel on fire or jump from the balcony we managed to find some nice places on the island.

Hats Off for Hadassah

2008-04-01T15:11:00.000-07:00

i spent a few hours this Sunday at the Fairmont Hotel San Jose with some lovely ladies from Hadassah. they had a small event and it was actually very interesting to listen to all the stories. This organization is amazing, they have thousands of people around the world working all day on raising money to build hospitals and help medical research for all of us. I joined the effort and donated my time and talent and photographed the event, check out the online gallery HERE

I also had the honor to meet the national president of Hadassah, Nancy Falchuk

More Headshots

2008-02-17T13:29:00.000-08:00

With all the great marketing tools out there, the need for a proffesional headshot is more important then ever. YouTube, Linkdin, Facebook etc are not for kids, people use them to find out about you. your facebook is as important to your public image as the suit you had when you went for this job interview with Google.

PageOnce - Business headshot

2008-02-13T23:15:00.001-08:00

It has been a very busy week, i had lots of portraits to do and the weather was perfect!
I did this headshot for the CEO of Pageonce, check out there website. They have a really cool product, I'm using it every day now.
Headshot is such an important part of your public image, i see so many small business failing at the entry level of getting the customer attention simply because they don't project the right image. did you know that only 7% of communication is verbal?!?
makes you think twice about those expensive ADs and flyers, they are useless unless your customers choose to give you the .2 seconds of attention.

McClellan Ranch Park

2008-02-13T23:14:00.000-08:00

What a great park!

This lovely couple won one of my gift cards in an auction, i try to donate a few family portraits to charity every year, its a win win situation, i get good marketing the buyer gets a portrait fo

r less then it would cost him normally and the money goes to someone who really needs it.

Jeanne DePolo - Menlo Park

2008-02-03T13:11:00.000-08:00

I did Polycom's holidays party in Silver creek this weekend, what a great location!
for all you brides out there, you have to put this location on your radar.
As a photographer im being challenged with beautiful locations but not very photogenic, silver Creek is not one of them.

Fun weekend

2007-10-24T22:36:00.000-07:00

Hi

Had a blast this weekend with this great family, I really enjoy taking family portraits outside in a nice park or special place that means a lot to the family.
After all, portraits are all about creating memories

I tried to paint this portrait with Corel painter, this is the most complicated software i have. after a few hours of strokes i came up with that

View the video from the session here

Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery

2007-08-20T15:36:00.000-07:00

Piper & Chris choose to get married in this beautiful location, the house was so nice i didn't want to leave it
Chris and Piper are a great couple and they are absolutely in love, and it shows.

The bridal party made me laugh so hard i almost peed in my pants, they love Borat and they kept on repeat parts of the movie

Piper is looking out, a little worried

But, no need to worry, between her mom and the wedding coordinator every little detail was taken care of

Pipers dress was amazing

For me the best part of the wedding is the preparations, the bride getting ready and the bridal party anxiously waiting or helping her. it allows me to be a fly on the wall and document this part
