Good Day Sacramento Visit
I was honored to be part of a segment on Good Day Sacramento on December 23, 2016 featuring getting better results from your iPhone. It took me a day to prepare for the show with some help from Action Camera in Roseville and to line up a model to use for some examples.
I was asked by Bethany Crouch from good Day Sacramento come in and talk about getting the most out of your holiday photos using your iPhone. It makes me really nervous doing live tv, but Bethany makes it so easy and helps me to feel comfortable. I could never do it without her. I was joined by my good friend and model Amanda Pacheco. We have worked together for quite a few years now and she just keeps getting more beautiful!
Thanks to Action Camera in Roseville for setting me up with some cool tools!
The first segment went over some tips on taking better images with your iPhone
- Keep Your Lens Clean
- Change your perspective
- Move in (Manually)
- Photograph Reflections
- Shoot Outdoor Christmas Lights Before It Gets Too Dark
- Backup your images
For the second segment my favorite place on earth (Action Camera) gave me some cool accessories to show off. These are the items we discussed on the show.

Sacramento Magazine "Cover Of The Year"
I just received word the cover I shot for Sacramento Magazine was voted the 2013 Cover of the Year. My team and I put together the photo shoot early last year for the lead story and cover of the April issue. I photographed many of our Sacramento news anchors, it was such a fun day! We had Bethany Crouch from FOX 40 (KTXL) and Lisa Gonzales from Ch 3 (KCRA) as our cover models and wow, are they amazing together! I have never seen such great chemistry! They should have there own TV show.
I am so pleased with the team I had on this shoot. That cover shot came out of a very funny situation. After the shoot was over, Lisa and Bethany were playing on an old Honda scooter that was in the studio. I started shooting them with my iPhone. After looking at the iPhone images I realized that was the energy I needed for the cover shot. We went back and reshot the cover with the same configuration and style. Although the iPhone shot was almost good enough to be the cover by itself.
And who says the iPhone is not a real camera!
