Family Photoshoot
"Glen is such a talent. He accommodated our dates and location for we had to change it a lot. He is so easy to work with. We are so grateful with the results"
Great Price
"Ive worked with Glenn for multiple photography projects. Every project has been delightful! He is very thorough in designing and planning every theme, which I appreciate because it’s very fun getting into a creative process with your photographer. Ive done couple and friendship photo shoots and my fur babies also enjoyed their session with him! It was important to me that my fur babies also felt comfortable to be in front of the camera and Glenn gained their trust immediately. We have some great photos worthy of printing and having in our home! Working with Glenn checked off all my boxes: Creative, Patient, Professional, Great Communication and Skillset. We are so thankful!"
Couples & Pets
"We had an amazing experience with our photographer! From the very beginning, he was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He always responded to our emails and text messages promptly, answered every question we had, and was incredibly accommodating to our needs. He made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable, and we truly appreciated his patience and professionalism. We are so grateful we chose him to capture our special memories. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer. We will definitely hire him again for future events. Thank you for everything!"

ABOUT
Hi, I am Glenn.
I believe the best photographs are not the ones where everything is perfect.
They are the ones where you can feel the laughter. The ones that bring you right back to a person, a place, or a season of life.
For over 20 years I have been photographing families and couples across Hayward, the Bay Area, and beyond, and that is always what I am chasing — not a flawless pose, but the real, unrepeatable feeling of being together.
That is what I want to create for you.
