California Head Shot Portraits of San Diego Software Engineer ~ Brett Drainer

One of the great things about being a portrait photographer is that you get to meet a lot of new and interesting people. Last weekend I had the pleasure of being hired to create a series of head shots of San Diego software engineer, Brett Drainer, who lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Brett contacted me because he was looking to update his personal and professional portraits to be used for online social networking websites like, FaceBook and Linkedin. The past few months I’ve been working hard on writing a photography book that’s due to the publisher this spring, so it was a nice diversion to get out on-location to do this portrait session. Thanks Brett!
