Campbell Family Photography with Dogs | Dyan, TJ, and Dharma

By topher | Published December 13, 2011

A few months ago, Dyan contacted me about getting some professional business portraits done for a new website she was having made. She is an up-and-coming Marriage and Family Therapist based in Palo Alto. She needed something personable and welcoming. She also wanted to include her dogs which I thought was a great idea! Her website was designed by my friends over at The Point Collective. Jaime and her team do a fantastic job on professional websites for small businesses.

Here a few of my favorites from Dyan’s two sessions we did together. Also, be sure to check out her website:

Wendy Howell | Yoga Instructor | Bay Area Promotional Photography

By topher | Published August 8, 2011

Recently I had a really fun photo session with Wendy Howell at the Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, California.

Wendy is a yoga instructor I met through my friend William who owns Yoga Belly Studio in Mountain View. She was looking for promotional photos that the various yoga studios where she works could put on their websites. A little bit about Wendy:

Wendy discovered yoga at the urging of a friend and became instantly passionate about the practice, the lifestyle, and the community. She refers to it as a transformational epiphany… Wendy is currently interning under several of the Bay Area’s premier Bikram and Power instructors. She also teaches Power, Vinyasa and Hot Yoga at several studios and is hosting Children’s Yoga Workshops throughout the Silicon Valley.

It was such a great session and the location could not be more perfect. Hakone Gardens is an amazing Asian estate and garden in the South Bay and would be a fantastic location for any engagement sessions or weddings. Check them out!
