Matt Cross & The One Night Band are a 3 piece semi-acoustic trio that have been playing at local venues throughout SLO. Stacy and I have a blast every time we go to their gigs. Even though were not avid dancers, we always find it fun and easy to get out and rip it up...
Taking long walks on the beach on the Central Coast is always a favorite way for me to spend a relaxing afternoon. Yesterday, while my teen surfed I decided to head up the beach and explore the many coves that were exposed due to an extreme low tide. Having an inner gravitational pull towards rocks...
I wanted to highlight my friend and former second shooter Lisa Maksoudian. Based out of San Luis, Lisa specializes in newborns, babies, and children. Her portraits reflect a wonderful sense of simplicity, color and vibrancy. She also does amazing wedding and engagement work. Most of all, I love her fresh and whimsical approach to every...
Every summer I always take the opportunity to dig my creative roots into Rock Balancing. Since photography is two dimensional, I find it a blast to let the 3-D side of myself out from time to time. Several summers ago while on a family camping trip on the Big Sur coast I started arranging rocks...

Every now and then I enjoy taking photo field trips that allow me the freedom to shoot for myself. These are fun exercises that keep my stoke for photography alive. Last year I shot a series on “Signs”. Recently I added to my collection. Here are a few that caught my eye. The first two...
Yesterday I shot Alicia and Brent’s engagement photos at a favorite little cove of mine in Avila beach. The day was stellar in every respect. There was a minus tide, an offshore breeze and an amazing golden light. I knew I had to return today, which I am so glad I did. The tide was...
Stacy and I are blessed with three sons. Cory, our oldest, left for college in San Diego yesterday. I have to say, I got a bit choked up as we prayed for him. The past 20 years of his life suddenly flashed before my eyes. Wow! That was fast. I am so proud of Cory,...
