Join the adventure.
Location & Time
We will work with you to decide on the best time and location for you and your family. We have several iconic locations we love throughout the city, but are always open to new ideas. Additional fees may apply for locations that require travel.
Clothes
Color palettes, contrast, themes, weather, comfort. There are several things that need to be taken in to consideration for the perfect outfits for you and your family. We are here to help guide you. Don’t want to shop yourself? Use our personal stylist.
Props
Picnic blankets, toys, balloons, stuffed animals, signs. Let us know your vision and we can curate the perfect custom set for you. Indoor studio shoots also available.
Poses & Smiles
This is where we shine. Feel awkward in front of a camera? We’ll pose you and put you in position. Kids hate pictures? We have several tricks that can win over even the most uncooperative toddlers.

“The sf fam team has always been extremely friendly & helpful! They always do their best to help us get the photos we want as a family, even with the challenges of 2 active young sons and a dog! I appreciate their effort, consideration and helping us pose (which other photographers haven’t done). Very easy to work with and I can’t wait to book with them again for photos with other family members coming up. Thank you!!”
