Headshots || Genesis

Genesis came to town and (obviously) had to get some updated headshots in. Now that she is working at a tech company we went from boring grey suit to colors, smiles, and a signature leather jacket.

Holiday || Me!

Obviously, I took my own holiday card photos. Fernando and I recently moved to San Jose, and we wanted to take our photos here to highlight the life change. While jogging one day, I came across San Jose’s rose garden and knew this would be the place. We came around 8:30 a.m. on picture day, and I’m glad we did because around 9:00 a.m. the garden started filling with other families taking holiday photos. Looks like we picked the spot! The morning fog provided the a nice hazy background and the softest morning light. In 30 minutes we had enough selection for the holidays, and beyond!

Family || Martinez Olguin

It is always fun when my lawyering and photography worlds collide. In this case, one of my mentors reached out to me to take some family photos. Apparently many other families had the location in mind because there were at least four other sessions happening at the same time. Luckily, that gave us more time to catch up. And, oh my goodness, when I tell you that her daughter was one of the most special people I’ve ever met, I mean it. I hope to continue to capture her family over time!

Environmental Portrait || Victoria

My co-worker wrapped up her term last week, and I cannot deal. As a parting gift, I offered to take some environmental portraits of her in her office and in the library, and let me tell you, I was shocked by how gorgeous the lighting looks in the office!

Thank you, Victoria, for an excellent year, and you all can look forward to her engagement photos coming Spring 2022!
