San Francisco and Marin Family Photographer Joey Chandler
Photography for Adventurous Families
I got an email the other day that sounded perfect. Not word for word, but the gist was "we have a crazy active two year old that loves the playground and trains. We want family photographs. Can you help us?" "For sure" I said and we set up a family portrait session at their San … Continue Reading →
So this was a good example of how good things come to those who wait. Meg and I had been trying to schedule a date since February. Inclement weather, illness and accidents kept getting in the way. We even ran into each other at a friend's party before we cold set up a time. But we just kept … Continue Reading →
This was a great shoot that I got to spend time with Fancher Family. Not only did I get to meet the star of the family - little Lila with beautiful blue eyes, but it also turns out that mom Emily went to journalism school with my brother at Columbia. That doesn't happen everyday so I thought … Continue Reading →
I met Beth and her little speedster Zach at the Letterman Campus in the Presidio. Have to thank George Lucas and everyone whoever bought anything Star Wars related for helping to fund this area. Beautiful green grass, nice walk ways and a pond surrounded by rocks - perfect for a little one to … Continue Reading →

So it was fun to visit Crissy Field with Bettina, Ben and their little dog Sasha. They have only been living in San Francisco for a few months so this was their first … Continue Reading →
Cheryl and Vijay are something like eight and half months pregnant and I have to say they are doing extremely well - happy, relaxed (for the most part), and clearly working together. I really enjoy seeing a couple that is so connected as they are. Not only does it make a make a maternity … Continue Reading →
Normally my mom and daughter portrait shoots involve babies, dollies, and bellies. This was different. There were still lots of laughs and a few of those "how do we stand" awkward moments but this was two grown women with a clear love and respect for each other. That was very cool to see. … Continue Reading →
This portrait session goes down as one of the great lessons learned - always be ready and never give up. Saturday started off as crazy rainy day in San Francisco. Dark, blustery and definitely not a day for a family portrait session. The Laffan Family lives right in the middle of the Mission … Continue Reading →
On Saturday, I got to spend the morning with the Tran Family and 20 or so of their friends to celebrate little Oliver's first birthday. We met for a Korean brunch at the Seoul Garden in Kabuki Shopping mall. Oliver was there with his sister Shea and his parent's Amy and Owen. Oliver was all … Continue Reading →
