They say that location is everything, and we have no shortage of beautiful places to do photoshoots! Here are but a few of my very favorites!

Land's End

Lover's Lane (Presidio)

Probably my very favorite spot in the city. This location on a sunny day has magical light, fun woods, access to water views and is generally not super crowded. This works best for PM shoots.

Hidden up in the Presidio this awesome space offers a great wooded feel and works for both AM and PM shoots. Lots of fun places for kiddos to explore and beautiful light.

San Francisco Botanical Gardens

This beautiful place is great for AM or PM shoots and gives us a ton of variety.

Hidden inside of golden gate park near the cal academy of science, this little gem of a park is not only beautiful, but often not crowded.  It's one of my favorite morning spots!

Palace of Fine Arts

Crissy Field

Baker Beach

Legion of Honor

Cavallo Point

In the past I have only done this location in the PM because of where the sun sets.  Now I know there is stunning light in the morning AND the evening though, so I recommend both. The top three photos are AM and the bottom 3 are PM. Beautiful architecture, color and lines! 

The bridge! Another great PM location Crissy Field gives us beach, grass, water and the beautiful red lady in the background.

THE BRIDGE FROM THE OTHER SIDE! THIS LOCATION IS PURE BEACH AND GREAT IN THE LATER EVENINGS. BEWARE THE NUDE BEACH THOUGH THE CLOSER WE GET TO THE BRIDGE! :)

Home of the san francisco landmark painted ladies, alta plaza park is a beautiful setting in the heart of the city.  If you want the best light for the ladies though, this is an am shoot.

One of my favorites! The architecture is amazing and this location is great for early AM or PM shoots. On a clear day, we can get some of the bridge as well!

Located on the Sausalito side of the bridge, Cavallo has amazing greenery, bridge views, ocean views, meadows and more! This is a great choice to get a lot of variety in one location!

Alta Plaza Park - Painted Ladies

Shakespeare's Garden

Crane cove - Dogpatch

Yoda Park - Presidio

Lovely in the later afternoon/evening or early morning, this urban oasis has water, beautiful modern buildings, rocks to climb and the coolest cranes around.  Super fun location for an adventurous family!

Lovely in the afternoon/evening or morning, this versatile location has a pond, streams, waterfalls, trees and more.  It's a small park located right by the famous yoda fountain and lucas film buildings.  Great for little kiddos and older kids alike!  One of my marina favorites.
