San Francisco and Marin Family Adventure Photographer
Photographic Experiences for Adventurous Families
Last week I met Susan and Geoff at the Sir Francis Yacht Club in the Marina in San Francisco. We met there on a grey, cold and rather typical summer day in San Francisco. We met at the yacht club because Geoff used to race boats in high school and they sometimes go sailing out of the berkeley … Continue Reading →
This was a great engagement session. I was driving up to Baker Beach thinking I would love to meet a couple interested in photos in places other than the beach with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Baker Beach is amazing in a million different ways but I've been thinking there must be … Continue Reading →
One of my favorite parts about being a photographer is seeing people go from nervous to comfortable to actually excited about being in front of the camera. Its just cool to see and feel a person (or couple) let go of their concerns and really get into the moment. That's when the magic starts to … Continue Reading →
Today I saw something that I don't see everyday in San Francisco - a new view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Do enough engagement sessions on Baker Beach and Family portraits from Crissy Field and you think you have seen the bridge in all ways possible. But today I saw something new. I was … Continue Reading →

I met Ethan and Liana on a grey cold day in San Francisco for their engagement session. A lesser couple may have thrown in the towel but they went for it. Have to love seeing people that are willing to go forward when there are many good reasons not to. Have to believe that gumption is a good … Continue Reading →
As the photographer, I get to see the many, many out outtakes that don't make the cut from any engagement or portrait session. Generally I'll take 300-500 pictures then deliver 25-40 to the family/couple. But even if a picture is off for some reason (out of focus, something distracting in the … Continue Reading →
Take one part surprise, one part beautiful San Francisco evening at Ocean Beach, one part fun, energetic and wonderfully photogenic couple and you have the makings for a very fun and productive Valentine's Day photography session. J surprised her boyfriend J with sunset portrait session and I have … Continue Reading →
Truth be told, this was not the best day. Cloudy with drizzling rain at Baker beach and clients that were tired from being stuck in Friday night San Francisco traffic and literally sick. Caroline and Paul were troopers and gave it a go but sometimes as the great Kenny Rogers said "you got to … Continue Reading →
