I am very excited to introduce Rosa, my intern for 2013! I knew from our initial meeting that she would be a great fit for the internship. She’ll be coming along to assist on shoots and helping with all sorts of things behind the scenes, while getting an insider track on learning all about the…

On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, I met up with Julia for some beautiful dance portraits and headshots at the Municipal Rose Garden in San Jose. I never knew such a place existed in San Jose! Below are just a few of my favorite frames.
She is a pharmacist by trade, but she doubles as a clarinetist in her free time. I met with Elisa one Sunday for a quick headshot session outside the Dean Lesher Theater in Walnut Creek. I love the mix of looks we got! Some of my favorites are below.
My friend Talya is an incredibly talented opera singer. She also happens to be gorgeous. She’s one of my long time fans and has made frequent appearances on this blog. This time, I told her if she flew out to California, she had a portrait session waiting for her over here. She got a little…

Eugene is not only a great harpsichordist but he also restores the beautiful old instruments for fun. Plus, it turns out he’s quite the natural model too. Multitalented and handsome. Here are some of his portraits from our headshot session in Fremont:
I don’t know who started it, calling him the godfather of Taiwanese America, but I think the title’s going to stick. Ho Chie has been involved with almost every Taiwanese American organization imaginable, and he even had a hand in creating many of them. One of his ongoing projects is TaiwaneseAmerican.org, an online portal that spotlights…
She’s amazing and gorgeous and would never admit it herself. On my visit to Los Angeles last month, I needed some help with office and editing tasks, and my friend Diana needed some headshots to submit to castings as an extra. It made for the perfect trade. I taught her how to do some things…
Today I just wanted to give a shout out to my mentee Sammie. She found me through my friend Dianne Jago when she needed to do a mentorship for her senior year in high school. We met up at my home office for some lessons on photography, and Sammie helped out as my assistant at…
It’s always a bit strange to get out from behind the lens and hop in front of the camera for some of my own headshots. But it’s something I shold probably do more often, lest I become the photographer who is never in any photographs! Luckily, my friend Jeffrey Kuo was in my neighborhood a…
Earlier this month, I taught the final workshop of our four-part series. It was a live portrait shoot with two wonderful models, Henry M. Chu and Shannon. We were rained in and spent most of the session in a loading dock, but with all the awesome participants, I think it turned out just fine. First,…
