If you live in the Bay Area, you have most likely heard of Super Franks, if not already frequented there!
It is THE nicest children’s entertainment center I’ve ever been to! With real furniture, like leather club chairs, a Starbucks counter, real food that actually tastes good, and themed rooms that divide children by age groups, [...]
Back in November 2009, I did a commercial shoot for Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore. (Click here to read that blog post.)
They wanted me to shoot a cover photo for their new CD, Engage, which was due to be out in time for Christmas! The people at Cornerstone loved the images (YAY!!!!) that they upgraded the [...]
Yesterday’s commercial shoot was Part 3 for the Downtown Oakland’s YMCA.
(Click here to see my other YMCA shoots, Part 1 – Be Amazing or Part 2 – Got Air?)
Laura Henry, the Director of Marketing, and I wanted to capture images of as many children’s programs the Y had to offer. So here was our schedule:
11:00am [...]
Yesterday’s commercial shoot was Part 2 for the Downtown Oakland’s YMCA.
(Click here to see my first shoot with the YMCA, which focused on YMCA’s amazing people and programs.)
I’ve always wondered what Boot Camp was like. (I’m more of a Yogini.) Now I know where to go if I were ever to do Boot Camp! The [...]

Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore performed a live recording concert last night for their CD.
The music had some rock, some R&B… it was a jamming concert! There were thousands of people standing on their feet, singing, clapping and dancing. I found myself subconsciously pressing my shutter [...]
I have a three-part photoshoot for the Downtown Oakland YMCA.
Yesterday’s photoshoot was part one. It mainly consisted of capturing images of the Seniors, Child Watch and many of the programs, like Circuit Training, Yoga, Tai Chi and Zumba.
I met some terrific people — from the staff and class instructors to the members!
I definitely felt the [...]
National bestselling author Mia King just came out with her 3rd novel, Table Manners, which hit the stores last week! (Click here to get it on Amazon!)
I had the pleasure of taking photos of her at a book signing at Barnes & Noble in Dublin, CA as well as shooting her headshots for upcoming books.
Book [...]
This afternoon, I met with Lindsey who is the head of Marketing and also the daughter of the owners of RM Winery in Livermore.
By the way, RM stands for Rodrigue Molyneaux, but for most people, we prefer to say “RM” since *ehem* our French isn’t so good!
RM Winery is a very charming, family-owned [...]
I got my fingerprint necklaces today! WOOOO-WEEEEEE!!!
I am so excited that I feel giddy — a feeling I haven’t felt in awhile. The necklaces are so awesome. Solid silver and oh-so-cute! The best part is that they are 100% unique because each charm is a thumbprint of each of my two monkeys!
The [...]
We made imprints of both my monkeys’ teeny tiny thumbprints for my Starfield Bay fingerprint jewelry.
It was really easy to do and the package even came with an already addressed and stamped envelope, so I sent it back today — lickety split.
I CANNOT WAIT to get my necklaces, so I can wear them around my [...]
Today’s photoshoot was of the partners of Starfield Bay, a company that makes beautiful sterling silver jewelry that is uniquely yours — using fingerprints and artwork from your loved ones.
Here are a few casual headshots of Katherine, Rica and Yvette.
Childhood Friends
These women were so much fun to shoot. I could tell they’ve known [...]
Yesterday was my first time as a School Photographer!
Yep, I admit — Last year, I had someone propose this idea to me (a different school) and I turned it down because I didn’t think it was “artsy” enough. My style is photojournalist/editorial and fine art, pretty much the opposite of look-at-me-and-smile kind of portrait photography.
But [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Yay, one of my first commercial clients has his new website up!
The big launch is later on because Frank and his team are still finetuning some things, so Super Franks customers, watch out for Frank’s e-blast.
I have been a customer of Super Franks since it opened, so it is thrilling to see my photos and [...]
