Six powerful women, each with their unique strengths and personalities make up this law firm. We used the lobby in the building for our on-location set, offering a variety of backdrops and settings for both individual and group shots of the clients.

This firm has an amazing, naturally-lit space (which I augmented with my own lighting for some of the shots), offering quite a variety of settings I could use for the portraits. These are more "lifestyle" than "traditional," both in posing, camera angles and environments. I basically created a mini circuit of spots that I took each person through, more of a workout for me than my clients!

The photo shoot happened to be on the founder's birthday, so there's a "fun" shot at the end...

This was a multi-light setup in the hallway of this tech firm where I wanted to get a variety of crops, from full body to tighter upper-body shots. These took less than 10 minutes to set up and capture as my client's time was short (and valuable)

This new company wanted to get some environmental portraits taken at the owner's home up in the mountains above Ben Lomond. We shot in a couple locations, both indoor and out. 

This company had an existing style guide for headshots, including a dark gray background. Problem was, there was no appropriate background on-site. Solution? Find a white wall in the cafeteria and set up the portrait about 20' away so the light falloff turns the background much darker. Voila!

This company was having its international sales people come into one city for a corporate retreat, so it was a good chance to get some consistent-looking headshots and a group portrait of everyone.

Believe it or not, most of these were shot in a parking garage beneath one of this company's properties. Great backdrops and portraits can be made pretty much anywhere, as long as you have a photographer with the creative vision to make magic happen.

These young entrepreneurs have a sweet little office space that we used to take a few casual portraits and headshots in. 

Sometimes you need to show off your services more than headshots of your staff. Perfect case: a massage/wellness business. This is a small cross-section of all the photos we took, but it illustrates how simply showing your customers what you do, in the actual environment you provide, is much more powerful than resorting to generic stock photography.

We shot in a variety of locations in the same building for this executive portrait shoot – the roof, a couple interesting hallways and a conference room. Cool!

This local husband-wife real estate company needed some fresh portraits of them and their staff for a local advertising campaign they were starting. True to their local form, we shot near Pleasure Point on a nice, sunny morning, taking a variety of group and individual portraits.

This was a portrait session for all the staff at a hair salon. I got a variety of traditional and candid portraits in the same session. Also, the dramatic black and white shots are fun!
