It’s a beginning of a New Year and it’s a great time to update your professional image by getting new profile portraits or as most people like to call them “headshots”. January has found me doing some really fun portrait sessions and giving my clients something I am in desperate need of myself – a new headshot! I love talking with clients first about what image they want to convey to their audience. I then try to capture the best of them in that light
Aaron supported a local private school by purchasing a gift certificate that I donated. He is an amazing musician and when he actually played a few notes I could tell he wasn’t just your normal brass player. I probably should have encouraged more action shots 🙂
It wasn’t until after we met for his portrait session that I realized that he had actually taught and worked with my son in the Cuesta College Jazz Band Ensemble in San Luis Obispo, California. We found some great backdrops in our little downtown of Atascadero.
Aaron brought several instruments including a vintage brass saxophone, a baritone saxophone, a clarinet and a flute plus a beautiful silver saxophone. I could actually match his instrument to his outfit and the setting which was fun for me as the photographer. I also loved that he brought a formal suit and then a more casual look with a hat for extra style points.
Good Luck Aaron in all your future endeavors!

It’s been over a year since I’ve photographed a church wedding. I have to admit I love our beautiful San Luis Obispo countryside as a back drop but it was refreshing to witness the traditional catholic wedding ceremony.
I was loving the light streaming through the stained glass windows. A little difficult o balance the color but so beautiful none the less
I love this last picture of the wedding party. I just told them they were done and I got the best celebration picture ever!
My Favorite of the Day I think – Although it is pretty difficult to choose
What a beautiful blue eyed bride!
The Historical Atascadero City Hall made for such a classical back drop! I think it matches her wedding dress perfectly!
