Jenn & Derek Smith's wedding photography So it’s been super busy of late.  With all the talk about the economic downturn we’ve started to see some effects such as events being cancelled or pushed back but at the same time we’ve been incredibly busy and hence the lack of updates to our blog recently.  I’m off […]

So we’re proud to announce that we’re doing much more pet photography now.  We’ve shot quite a few pets in the past as parts of weddings or portrait sessions so we decided to focus some energy more on pet portraiture as well.  Here’s a shot of a behind the scenes look at some pet photography we did at the studio here in SOMA.  We had in snakes, dogs, geckos and more that day so contact us about […]

Test shoots

Recently I have been doing some test shoots with local models. I have so much fun with these, scouting around and shooting on-location, and they tend to turn into mini adventures. Here are a couple from a recent portrait session with Gabriela, at sunset in Bernal Heights. Thanks much to Myleen for the help and providing very important sparks for the sparklers.

Kirsty was able to steal away the couple on their wedding day for an extended portrait session. I like the fashion shoot feel and can see these printed large for hanging on the wall. I’m sure they’ll treasure these photos for many many years.

Congratulations to these two. Jack shot their wedding up in Sonoma. Completely utterly gorgeous, right?

Myleen told me that a guest approached Jack at a recent wedding with, “You’re the one that makes the photos look like perfume ads!” I think that is an apt comparison.

Lighting Workshop with Glenn Matsumura

2008-07-03T14:21:36-07:00By |Categories: Point of View, Portraits|Tags: |


In June, we hosted a couple of Fotovision lighting workshops taught by Glenn Matsumura. I was able to attend the advanced workshop and with infinite patience, Glenn really broke all his techniques down for us. We did a bunch of hands-on stuff in the latter half and actually pulled off some great portraits of each other in the studio kitchen.
