Session Location Options

Over the last decade (plus some!) as a family and newborn photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have photographed families almost everywhere in the Bay! I have chosen my absolute favorite locations for family photography and maternity sessions and made some notes about them below. Please choose one of them for your session and we can firm up the timing of your session based on that location. Locations span from San Francisco to North Marin.

You can search based on timing, San Francisco or Marin, size of group and more below, and click on read more for details and a gallery from each location.

Dunes and Sand

This San Francisco Ocean Beach location is a stunner with soft sand and beautiful plant life on the dunes. Portraits are taken in the dunes and then the remainder of the session is spent playing on the beach.
