Making family portraits a yearly tradition in the San Francisco Bay Area is a great goal. As a family photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I always encourage families to take time for yearly portraits.

I gazed at them hundreds of times and felt such pride that we were celebrated in such a way. We would giggle at how we changed and would plan on where we would go next for our portrait session. There were frames filled with pictures everywhere.
Portraits in the home gave us ..read more

We need to wait until the tummy is fully round to get those quintessential photos. Too early on in the pregnancy, and it’s hard to see its full definition. In addition, Mom still feels co ..read more
