Most beer lovers recognize Anchor Steam as the quintessential and/or original S.F. beer brand. But not everyone knows they can book a a tour (up to two months advance notice often required) to see the brewery and learn how their world-class beer is made. Anchor has also been one of my favorite clients over the past few years (we’ve photographed everything from their holiday party/Christmas Ale releases to […]
You may have heard that Speakeasy has a new taproom designed by Kelly Malone and we finally checked it out during a fundraiser for her. The place is gorgeous and we set up a photobooth for the benefit too and because of the design it was a cinch to make it look amazing since the design and interior is so sweet. The gangster speakeasy style comes through from […]

Part of my new year’s resolution was to run a marathon this year and I am excited to share with everyone that I am participating in the Big Sur marathon this April. To help me stay motivate and do something positive while training for the marathon, I am raising money for Children with Cancer charity, which help me […]
In case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s San Francisco Beer Week!
We covered the Opening Night gala on Friday which has grown tremendously over the years and during the week there are a ridiculous number of events going on. There’s probably a lot of “working from home” or calling in sick (which I guess could be […]
Colin Kaepernick has got all the hype right now and we recall photographing him the first time and how chill and down to earth he was. In October of 2011 at the 49ers facility in Santa Clara, I spoke with him about what it felt like to be in the NFL and a 49er. He was super excited to play and watching him hum passes was a lot […]
Help-Portrait was a lot of fun this year and Orange was happy to participate including donating equipment and supplies as well as manpower. This year our Help-Portrait location at the Bayview Opera House photographed over 670 people and included 117 volunteers. It was even crazier than last year and the vibe was fantastic. The kids in First Exposures all had fun and realized the power of giving back to the community. This video was […]
We’re very proud of the fact that we were/are the first photography studio to earn the San Francisco Green Business designation from the City and County of San Francisco. It’s been a value we’ve held as a company since we started and only when there was such a program […]
This past week we Americans were more than ready to get together with family and gobble up a big meal. But in Indian culture, Diwali (the festival of lights) was just finishing up along with the My India Event Trends showcase at San Francisco City Hall.
We were honored to be asked to capture this cultural and exciting evening and collaborate with some of our favorite industry […]
Ahhh! Can’t believe how quickly the holidays have crept up on us? I feel like we were just celebrating the Giants’ World Series win and suddenly we’re hearing holiday music everywhere. Black Friday! Small Business Saturday! Cyber Monday! Giving Tuesday – it’s all a bit much eh?
Although most of America’s business […]
The Giants won the World Series for the second time in three years and we went to the parade and rally again yesterday! It was so fun and we let folks from the studio take off to check it out if they wanted since so many of us here are Giants fans. I was particularly psyched to see Tony Bennett again and this was the […]
