Central Coast Beach

A small set from a shoot we did up by the Central Coast. A fun little sunrise where we ran into a landscape photographer taking photos. Luckily, he was very nice and happy to share the beach with us :o)

Sunrise Stream Hike

Catching up from earlier this year, here are some photos from an early morning hike with Dan. It was a cold morning, so luckily there weren't other people on this trail, but we still had some really pretty sunlight coming through the trees. I just love all of the soft green colors that came through with these shots :o)

Sunset by the Sea

Hello my neglected patreon. This year has been a bit rough, but I'm trying to get back to some creative spaces. Here is a recent set from @pateriq that I thought was lovely and atmospheric. We headed out for a weekend sunset and somehow got a whole beach to ourselves (until the end!).

Summer Sunrise and Foggy Sea

Here is a little late post from the summer.  We caught an awesome sunrise on our drive out, and then the fog crept in when we got to the ocean.  We played around with different angles and depths in the water, which made for some nice results :) 

I'll be posting my most recent sets once I have the photos finished.  I hop...

Afternoon in the Park Set B

Hello all!  Here is the second set of my recent set with Tim.  It was extremely hot this day so the water was super nice.  Unfortunately, lots of other people thought the same and there were too many people around, lol.  But we got what we could before it got too crowded.  

Afternoon in the Park Set A

Hello my neglected patreon!  I just recently came back from a quick trip up to the bay where I was able to squeeze a couple shoots in with Dan and Tim.  I'll be posting the photos from Tim's shoot first...we shot on a VERY hot afternoon where we wandered around a park.  There were a lot of people around so I am much more clothed t...

Waterfall Hike

Hello!  

Happy April everyone.  I have been extra busy (as usual) working, but I will have some more time this summer to squeeze in some photo time :)  

In the meantime, here is a shoot from my recent visit to Dan's.  With all of the recent rains, we found a pretty waterfall and creek for a morning hike.   2023-04-15 20:10:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Seattle Studio Set B

Hello!  

Here is the second set from my Seattle studio shoot.  I only have one more small set to post from that shoot after this.  Here are some black and white film shots using the soft light and some double exposures.  

I have March paused in my subscription settings since I'm still inactive right now, but I wil...

Woodsy Morning

Hello, 

Happy February!  Here is a quick update to my last post from shooting with Dan.  I was excited to have the little pops of yellow and orange from the leaves, so I prefer most of these as color photos.  I'll be making another brief stop up north next month, so hoping to continue our outdoor adventures :...

Seattle Studio Set A

Hello!  Happy 2023 all :)  Here is the first set from a shoot I did with De Carbón Azul (decarbonazul on IG) when I visited Seattle in November.  I love shooting film, and I had been following his work for a while, so I was excited to be able to shoot while I was in town.  More photos soon.  

Sunrise in the Hills

Happy holidays everyone!  I am officially on vacation, and so I finally have time to upload the lovely photos I have taken recently.  First up, a chilly but colorful sunrise in the hills taken by Dan.  I still think the cold is always worth the early morning light :)  

I hope everyone is doing well, and I've put my patr...

Another Morning in the Dunes

Hello!  

Happy October (or end of October lol).  I just wanted to give a quick update with some photos from my last dune visit.  I will be spending my one week of vacation in November traveling up the coast, and finally enjoying some time again to relax and take some photos(!).  I'm very excited, especially since I love...

Morning Cove

Hello!  

Happy end-of-August...I hope everyone is doing well.  Here is a set I did recently with Tatiana.  It is a mix of both film and digital shots.  We managed to avoid people during the early AM on a Saturday (hard to do!), though we did have quite a few curious bunnies hop by.  

As a reminder, payments a...

Afternoon Indoors

Here is a set of photos from a short shoot I did with uwrphotos while he was in town.  It was definitely warm and bright, but we found some interesting lighting in some of the rooms that worked nicely with the film.  I love the ones from the sun shining through the blinds.  

On a side note, my patreon is still on "pause" for...

Roots and Water

Hello! 

I hope everyone is having a good summer so far.  I actually prefer the fall/winter, but it's nice to have the long days once in a while, too, lol.  

I wanted to post the rest of my last set.  We had ventured out to a woodsy hiking area, but found it CROWDED with people everywhere.  The easiest place t...

Foggy Grove

Hello!  

Happy end-of-May everyone!  I'm currently in another one of my busy work seasons, so I've been chugging along, but I wanted to start posting this set from my spring trip before I get too far behind.  I loved this foggy grove we found at the top of a hill.  It was one of those dense fogs that drips on you as you...

Rainy Creek Part B

Hello!  

As usual, I'm a bit late to post these, but here's the second set from my rainy adventure with Pateriq.  I absolutely couldn't resist hopping in a little puddle while it was raining, though it got quite chilly quickly.  But there's a lovely moodiness from the rain and the greenery that I am drawn to.  

I ...

Rainy Creek Part A

Hello!  

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying springtime.  I am starting to get some photos back from my recent trip to the Bay Area, so yay.  I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot with pateriq (on IG) again, and we got to adventure down a woodsy creek.  The rain was not our friend and pretty persistent, but ...

Harmony Headlands B

Hello everyone!  Here are a few more photos from my set from Harmony Headlands with Dan.  I have a couple more shoots this month, and then after April 1st my patreon will go back on PAUSE until...well, maybe the fall or winter, we'll see.  I'll still update when I can, but the payments will pause after next month.  I hope eve...

Hotel Duo Set B

Happy Early Valentine's everyone!  I'm in the usual oh-crap-I'm-getting-older-again mindset and hitting the gym accordingly, so let's see how long that motivation lasts lol.  But I thought I'd share some more of my favorite duo photos from my most recent shoot with Mz. Kim and Tim.  Looking forward to shooting with them again (hop...

Harmony Headlands Set A

Happy February!  Dan and I checked out Harmony Headlands while we were out by the Central Coast and caught a nice cloudy sunrise.  We had to head out while it was still dark out, so we had a coyote following us for a bit, but luckily he never got too close.  While we missed out on any fog, we at least got some pretty pinks and pur...

Chair Set

Hello and happy Monday! 

I love this little set because: 

a) Butt shots and window light = always a favorite of mine 

b) While we were shooting this set, Tim and I were talking about some of the recent anime shows we have been watching, and he convinced me to give One Piece a proper chance.  I finally starte...

Hotel Duo Set A

Good Morning! 

I'm about to head out to the coast for some wine and photos, but thought I'd post the first set of the hotel photos from SF before I left.  I always love Tim's moody lighting when we shoot, and Mz. Kim did a great job helping me hide my face :o)  I'm always a little reluctant to wear any sort of "wardrobe" (lo...

Happy Holidays!

Just a quick hello to wish everyone happy holidays!  I'll be visiting family for a few days, but I will start posting photos from this set with Mz. Kim and Tim when I'm back.  Thought I'd throw in a couple of moody preview photos in the meantime :o)  

I will also be making a short trip out to the sand dunes in a few weeks! &...

Holiday Hello!

Long time no post!   

Sorry about that.  In simple terms, I got burned out from work, and I've had to take a break from most things.  My work normally starts to calm down around November, but instead it got even crazier, and it has been very mentally draining.  I'm optimistic that things will get better after the h...

Duo in the Woods

Happy October! 

Here's a mini-post and a mini-update.  Work and school, as anticipated, got very busy, so I spent some time away from social media to stay focused.  I'm going to still sit back for October to try to relax a bit, but I should start shooting again on the occasional weekend soon.  Here's a little bit more f...

Branches

Hello!  

As usual for this time of year, I am currently trying to power through my workload, but I wanted to post another update before the month ends.  Here is more from my set with 2ndlife and Mz. Kim...I still have more from this set that I really like, but I usually post my sets in chronological order as much as possible, lol...

Jelly Waters B

Happy Tuesday!  

Here are a few more photos from the jellyfish bay.  I can't wait to see how this set looks in print.  I, personally, can't decide between the B&W and color versions of this set since I think both work really well in this lighting, but I stuck with color for this post for consistency lol.  

Lace and Trees

Hello!  

Here's the first set of photos from my shoot with Mz. Kim and Tim.  We had been talking about doing another duo shoot together prior to covid, but obviously that got delayed.  Luckily our schedules all came together last week, and we decided to adventure outdoors this time.  

As usual, Tim just sent me to...

Jelly Waters A

Hello all and happy August!  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

I just wanted to share a few photos from my recent set.  We had some awesome overcast sky to work with, so we headed out to the bay...to discover a ton of jellyfish!  They were both washed up all over the shore as well as swimming around the water.  ...
