When It Comes To Portraits, Personality Is Key

Hire a Bay Area PhotographerThere are plenty of approaches one could take to bay area photography. The approach I find most successful, and that I find my clients most appreciate, is the personal approach. Family portraits, especially portraits of kids, should convey the warmth and personality of the subject and that of the family. One of the best ways to capture these qualities is to choose straightforward, natural and familiar locations.

My favorite places to take family and kids portrait photos are in parks and backyards, or with other simple backgrounds that are familiar to your own family. Bay area photography should reflect the unique personality of each family, and I aim to take photos that will evoke pride and joy in your family now, and strong nostalgia and appreciation for years to come.

Please view my gallery of past work, and contact me if you are interested in arranging a session for your own family.

Family Portraits: Capture Memories for an Eternity

Bay Area Photographer for Kids and FamiliesThe days during which your children are young will be some of the most memorable you will ever experience. As they grow (way too quickly, most parents might add), you will look back on those early years with a measure of nostalgia. Your children, too, will want to look back and see photos of themselves in their youth. As a bay area photographer who is also a parent, I understand this nostalgia. My kids’ early years are the most precious to me.

That is why I am so happy to have been able to capture some very special moments in photographs, and why I have become a bay area photographer. My family and child photography practice is focused on letting the unique qualities of each child and each family come through in the photographs I take. I choose natural lighting and settings over impersonal portrait studios with artificial lighting. I encourage you to peruse my gallery, and to contact me if you are interested in a session for your own child or family.
