Photo booths to fashion…
We had the honor of shooting the Sno-ball party, one of the many joint birthday parties we’ve shot over the years (remember April Mistakes?!) and it was quite a blast. People dressed up in many ways, and we’re honored that Betabrand has decided to use a few shots on their website (above). They’ve got some [...]

Wedding trends we like: pockets in dresses
I can’t live without pockets. I hate having limited storage options and one of the coolest things I’ve been seeing at weddings lately is pockets in dresses. My most recent wedding had the coolest pockets – integrated right into the stylish wedding gown.
The Bold Italic “Drag Race”
“Virginia Suicide” does Courtney Love All I knew about this assignment is that there would be a gaggle of drag queens, a fashion contest in the vain of Project Runway, and it would take place at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory down the street from our studio. I didn’t quite know what to expect, but I [...]

A beautiful ceremony in the Shakespeare Garden in our local Golden Gate Park, featuring our favorite color, brings about the union of Tamar and Brian photographed by Jake and Myleen. [...]
Poladroid
Poladroid is a ridiculously easy-to-use piece of software that you can download for free. You drag in any image and it spits out a Polaroid-like version in seconds. It weirdly satisfying to use because you see the image “develop” in real-time and it even sets of a satisfying click-a-churn Polaroid camera sound. It’ll add on [...]

Doers Profile in Nob Hill Gazette
Here’s an alternate take on the photo that we took that ran in this month’s Nob Hill Gazette for their Doers Profiles. I used different toning on the colors to mute the saturation more on this and liked the feel we got with that. The only regret was with the limited time we couldn’t fidget [...]

Test shoots
Recently I have been doing some test shoots with local models. I have so much fun with these, scouting around and shooting on-location, and they tend to turn into mini adventures. Here are a couple from a recent portrait session with Gabriela, at sunset in Bernal Heights. Thanks much to Myleen for the help and [...]
