“BRIAN IS DOWN. Yup, that’s the best way to explain my shoot with him. He enthusiastically listened and helped me conceptualize every last one of my ideas. He took every picture/video with joy and was very professional during the entire process! Definitely will be booking with him again!”

“We had such an amazing time on our shoot with Brian. Both of us were nervous to be in front of a camera at first and not even 5 minutes in the nerves were gone and Brian had us laughing at his stories. He went above and beyond to make sure we got photos we loved and had a great time scaling rocks at the beach together. Brian is so enthusiastic about his work that his energy will rub off on you and ensure that you're comfortable in no time. He even brought us yerba mates for the drive out. 10/10!!! Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer that is professional, funny, and will climb cliffs to get the perfect shot.”

“THIS SHOOT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I answered a model call for Brian a few months back and we set up this shoot. I had no idea what it was really going to be other than the fact that I was in need of a couple of white swimsuits. During the shoot, Brian and I were laughing the entire time and I felt so at ease. He directed me in every pose and the pictures came out amazing. Usually I am not a fan of people watching me while I have pictures taken but I felt so confident thanks to Brian that I didn’t even notice the people around us! After the shoot, I got my pictures back in a little over a week and was AMAZED at how they looked! I knew they were going to be good but I didn’t realize they would be this good! I feel more confident than ever and will definitely be booking a shoot with Brian some time soon and I recommend you do too!”

“Brian took my senior portraits on the beach and did such an amazing job capturing what I wanted. The photos came out beyond what I expected. I had known his work is amazing because he photographed me during my track season. Which was such an honor and delight. And getting to work one on one with him was such a pleasure. He is an awesome human being and is so helpful when it comes to being comfortable and confident in front of a camera. Brian kept cracking silly dad jokes which kept me laughing all shoot! He has such an eye for detail which is definitely represented in his photographs. I look forward to working with Brian again. And it’s safe to say I would recommend him for any of his services!”

“I had such a great time during this shoot. I was a little nervous and not used to taking pictures at all but Brian did really well at making me feel super comfortable. I also went into this shoot with not so traditional senior pictures in mind and Brian really made everything work out perfectly. I love his editing style so much and everything turned out amazing!”

“My shoot with Brian was unforgettably fun! We had to get creative after a failed trip to fogged-over Baker Beach, and stumbled, or should I say hiked, upon the coolest spot in the Marin Headlands. I haven’t done a dance shoot in a long time but Brian was really helpful in making me comfortable and confident throughout. We did some shots on and around a giant boulder and had the most amazing light as the sun went down through the fog. I’m so incredibly happy and impressed with how my pictures turned out! Definitely looking forward to working with him again.”

“This was my boyfriend and I’s first couples shoot together, and Brian left us SPEECHLESS. His photos captured our dynamic perfectly, and we could not be happier :) As someone who gets nervous in front of a camera, Brian is an amazing photographer to work with. Right off the bat he makes you feel comfortable, and his jokes throughout the shoot keep the mood upbeat and fun. If you want great photos that exceed all of your expectations, definitely book a shoot with Brian.”

“Brian is one of the most fun photographers I’ve ever worked with. He did a couple shoot for my girlfriend and I, and we loved the results. He’s very genuine and a huge goofball so you’re guaranteed to have a good time and a genuine smile in your photos. I’m a little camera shy but Brian made me feel really comfortable and I felt really confident about myself when I saw the results. All around, he’s a great photographer and I can’t wait to work with him again!”

My fiance and I were looking for engagement/wedding photographers and Brian had come on a recommendation of a friend of my fiance's. My fiance and I don't like being in front of the camera as we are self-conscious. Brian immediately put us at ease. He's funny, charming, and witty. Brian is also excellent at what he does and the pictures came out better than what I could have hoped for. He was a joy to work with from beginning to end and can't wait for him to do our wedding photos!!!

“I would highly recommend to use Brian’s services if you can. Especially if you’re someone that has never done a photo shoot before, and are kind of nervous about what to do with your hands haha. His energy was the first thing that captured me. He was enthusiastic during the whole shoot which was awesome, because we were able to bounce that energy back and forth. Thankfully I have worked with other photographers so I already have a few poses in my head that I was going to use, but Brian was kind enough to suggest some new ones for me and taught me how to position myself well. That’s something that can be pretty difficult for some photographers to do. His editing is also extraordinary. He has done some colored photos of me and the way he can push color is jaw dropping. If you want to get that memorable photo that you can always look back on I suggest Brian.”

“Brian was amazing to work with! His silly dad jokes and amazing energy is what made the shoot a happy and positive environment! His work is amazing and I have always appreciated him taking photos of me while playing sports and now my senior photos as well! Brian will accommodate to your personal needs and is simply a pleasure to be around!”

“I have worked with Brian for two different photo shoots now. My first shoot was back in 2021 and at the time, I had never done a photoshoot just for fun. I was incredibly nervous but Brian made me feel relaxed and made sure I knew I was doing well. The photos came out beautiful and to this date they are my favorite photos of myself anyone has every taken. Brian’s editing style is just gorgeous and his knowledge of colors make the photos that much more elegant. I did another shoot with Brian recently in 2022. Because I knew what a great time I had with him last shoot, this shoot was a breeze and being in front of the camera wasn’t as scary. The endless conversations and laughs make shooting with Brian that much more amazing. I highly recommend booking Brian for as your photographer whether it be just for fun or for something more professional.”

“Shooting with Brian was an amazing experience. Brian is a perfect balance between calm and patient and also energetic and fun. He will take time to listen to any ideas and concerns you have. I’ve never done a “real” shoot before but Brian made being in front of the camera so easy. I will definitely go to Brian for any other shoots in the future.”

“Brian is an all-around professional and skilled photographer. His photos capture me and my expression beautifully, while also being formal enough to use in any sort of professional submission etc. He is a goofy and friendly guy, and maintained conversations during all our shoots which me feel super comfortable. He’s consistently on time, super reliable, and always fun to work with.”

Every moment, from the photoshoot itself to receiving the photos back from him I have so much more confidence and love for myself than I did before.
