I don’t know about you guys – but I have some major World Cup fever. Games are full of drama, culture, crazy skills (and pretty fútbol players) – it’s all so captivating.

Thanks to SF Recreation and Parks and friends, you can watch the games in Civic Center Plaza. Stop by and watch a game sometime… feel the camaraderie!   Here’s a tiny moment from Tuesday’s matchup, Spain vs. Portugal – […]

If you work in hospitality in the Bay Area then you most likely know (or should know) who Chip Conley is.  I won’t go into his back story but he’s the founder of Joie De Vivre Hotels, one of the top boutique hotel chains around(and  based here in San Francisco).

So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag,  Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with the announcement.  It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken.  As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer (and especially craft brews) I owe thanks to Mr. Maytag.

A last minute shoot happened (we often get last minute bookings and are almost always able to respond), and it was for our friends at City Arts  & Lectures who had comedienne Sarah Silverman on the program.

As I waited backstage for […]

Successful First Exposures photobooth and auction!

badminton event photographySpring is here and in Sausalito it seems like the weather is always gorgeous and one spot we’ve been to quite a bit of late is Cavallo Point.  It’s a great spot and has facilities for events as well, so it’s a pretty popular spot over the Bridge.  What better background is there to play badminton, too, with the arches of the Golden Gate Bridge […]
