Campbell's 32nd Annual Valentine Fun Run

Brrrrr!!  It was a wee bit chilly this morning for the event but hundreds of runners still came out to participate.  I was the official event photographer this year and had a great time photographing PR shots for the Campbell Community Center and also of each of the runners as they came through the finish line.  My experience shooting for Stanford sports, Brightroom & Action Sports over the years definitely came in handy.  Similar to wedding photography, it has alot to do with getting the focus just right.  You have a tiny little red dot on the camera that tells it exactly where to focus.  Regarding races, my job is to aim it just right on the subject's face (right on their eyes to be exact), as they dash through the finish line.  And not just once or twice but for each and every one of the hundreds of racers.  It's definitely a challenge but that's where a steady hand and tons of experience comes into play.  Great job to everyone who participated!

Little Josette - Newborn Photos

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of photographing Stacey & Andy's beautiful little daughter, Josette.  I had the honor of being their wedding photographer in May of 2008.  She is such an adorable little newborn and was so cooperative and playful for the entire photoshoot.  Stacey knew the big secret to a good newborn shoot - feed the baby right before.  Of course little Ms. Josette had to end the shoot with a bathroom break right on her mommy's jeans.  hehe.  Enjoy the slideshow and photos.

Xceed Financial Credit Union - Grand Opening Event

These guys went all out for their grand opening.  There was a ribbon cutting event with Pat Dando, a three piece band to entertain the guests and of the best of all was the catering done by Gunther's.  Anyone who lives in the south bay has heard of this amazing family owned catering business.  If I were to have an event of any sort, whether it be a small party or a formal wedding, Gunther's would be my choice.  The folks from Exceed wanted the photos to convey the mood of the event and were thrilled to see the final product.

Jackie & Joe's Engagement Photoshoot

Talk about two little love birds!  It was fun to hang with Jackie and Joe today in Los Gatos.  The weather was perfect and they were both in a very fun mood.  We were all excited for their wedding in Half Moon Bay in 2009.  Joe was a hoot and I have a feeling we're all going to have a blast on their wedding day.

Amy & Scott's Wedding - Seascape Resort in Aptos

Wow, this was a day where weather was totally touch and go. One minute it was raining and five minutes later, it stopped. The wedding coordinator at Seascape absolutely made the right call by holding the wedding indoors, since it started to rain 2 minutes before the scheduled ceremony time. What was amazing were Amy & Scott's positive attitudes! Rain or shine, they were both just as excited to officially become husband and wife. Luckily, the clouds parted and the rain stopped just long enough for us to get some amazing post wedding photos. Here are a few of the images we captured from their beautiful wedding. Congrats guys!!
