Where to take family photos in San Francisco Bay Area?

Clients often ask me for suggestions on where to take photos in San Francisco and surrounding areas. Since it's a known fact that a picture is worth a thousand words, I decided to create a visual database of various  San Francisco Bay Area locations. This list will be updated as I discover new spots (I am always on a lookout for new ideas).

San Francisco Locations

Presidio/Lover's Lane

By far, my favorite part of San Francisco and my favorite location for family/kids photos. If you love nature and want to get away from big crowds – this location is perfect for you! A stunning eucalyptus forest provides a gorgeous background. There's a lot of space for kiddos to run around. Tons of shade which helps bring out bright colors and gorgeous depth of a photograph. I guess it's obvious that I just love Park Presidio. 

Alamo Square Family Photo Session | San Francisco Family Photographer

Out of all "classic" San Francisco locations, Alamo Square is by far my favorite! It is a perfect all-in-one location, offering nice lush greenery, lots of space for kiddos to run around, as well as gorgeous victorian architecture and a stunning view of downtown San Francisco.
