family photography

Transform family photos from hassle to highlight. Forget the fuss over clocks, locales, threads, and smiles. We’ve got you covered. Kids at ease, parents at peace—we’ve mastered the art of the authentic shot.

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.

“SF fams is fantastic! Super understanding when I had to cancel due to possible COVID exposure, and I was able to reschedule right away. Our photographer was incredibly cool and understanding when it came to our uncooperative toddler. He was so patient and captured some beautiful shots in between crying and snot bubbles!”

“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!!”
