5 Ways to Tell: Is Your Photo Faking It?

One of the most popular things my San Francisco Portrait Photography clients ask for is a good, candid shot. They then often proceed to explain in detail exactly what “candid” looks like. They seem to have every detail considered; what they want to wear, what they want to convey, etc. But they make it clear […]

What is real beauty?

When I started my photography business in San Francisco a couple of years ago I didn’t know what was in store for me. I had just finished a long season of travel, completed a big move and had made the decision to begin my work in the Bay Area. I had never been much for […]

Dating & Age: Less Wrinkles = More Love?

One of the inevitable parts of being a professional portrait photographer is color correction and re-touching. I do this for all the final versions of my client’s photos and I often get questions about what that means. Color correction is pretty self-explanatory, it could mean warming up the shot, bringing the exposure down or changing […]

Can Cosmetics Bring Confidence?

In my last blog about natural makeup in photos, I talked about my personal philosophy about make-up and lighting and what really matters when getting your picture taken. When it comes to great online dating photos or executive headshots, looking like yourself is really important and will make a difference whether you are trying to […]

Basic Make-Up Tips for Photo Shoots

I had been somewhat avoiding the subject because for me it feels rather sensitive and personal to each individual. Sometimes I get in touch with just how much of a struggle […]

LinkedIn Photos & the San Francisco Job Market

The digital age has certainly changed the way we do business. It has changed the way our customers find us, communicate and buy from us. The internet forces even the most tactile businesses (such as massage therapists) to communicate in words and pictures on a screen to express who they are and what they do. […]

I will be joining up with Nourishing Our Radiance to give away a photo session (a $350 value) to one lucky participant. This organizations mission is to inspire women to transform their relationship to nourishment through self love & living foods. Because Melissa and Natalia and I share philosophies about self love and real beauty, […]

Online Dating Do’s and Don’ts PART 2: First Contact

Because so many of the men I photograph for online dating profile pictures have questions, I have teamed up with Maya Diamond, a dating and relationship coach, to answer their most important questions. In our last entry we explored the continual online dating dilemma: “How do I get women to respond to my messages?” This […]

Online Dating Do’s & Don’ts PART1: How to Make Her Get in Contact with You

As a San Francisco photographer who specializes in online dating photos, so many of the men I work with ask me questions about online dating. One of the most common is: “How do I get women to respond to my messages?” My friend and industry colleague, Maya Diamond, MA, is a Bay Area dating and […]

I Am Not Photogenic!

It seems there are two types of people: those that look great in almost every photo they are in, and then, there are the rest of us. As a photographer (and a person who for the majority of my life considered myself “un-photogenic”) I have noticed that there are lots of people who hate themselves […]
