Family Photography in Marin County & San Francisco

Life moves quickly, and the little moments often become the ones we treasure most. Professional family photography gives you the chance to preserve this season of life with images that feel authentic, joyful, and true to your family.

For more than 17 years, I’ve been photographing families throughout Marin County, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Tiburon, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. My approach is relaxed and natural, creating genuine moments instead of stiff poses. The result is a collection of timeless photographs that reflect your family’s unique personality and connection.

Whether you’re celebrating a new baby, updating your annual family portraits, documenting teenagers before they leave for college, or simply wanting beautiful photographs together, I’ll guide you every step of the way so your session feels easy, enjoyable, and stress-free.

Family Photography Sessions

I offer several types of portrait sessions to fit every stage of life.

Family Sessions

Relaxed family photography designed to capture genuine connection, laughter, and the everyday moments you’ll cherish for years to come.

Sunset Photography Sessions

Golden hour is one of my favorite times to photograph families. I know many of the most beautiful outdoor locations throughout Marin County, San Francisco, Sausalito, Tiburon, Muir Beach, Rodeo Beach, Tennessee Valley, Crissy Field, Baker Beach, and the Marin Headlands. These stunning backdrops create warm, natural portraits with incredible light.

Senior Portrait Sessions

Senior year deserves to be celebrated. My senior sessions are fun, relaxed, and personalized to showcase your teen’s personality, confidence, and style in beautiful Bay Area locations.

Why Families Choose Amelia Plumb Studio

Families come to me because they want photographs that feel genuine—not overly posed or forced.

My sessions are designed to help everyone relax so kids can be themselves, parents can enjoy the experience, and we create images filled with authentic smiles, connection, and emotion.

With over 17 years of experience photographing families, I know how to work with young children, teenagers, grandparents, large extended families, and even the family dog. Every session is tailored to your family’s personality while making the process fun and easy from start to finish.

“Amy is such a gem to work with! I was looking around for photographers that would hold mini holiday sessions for our family pictures and I am so glad I chose Amy. She is truly a delight to work with. It's very easy to communicate with Amy. Amy was truly patient with my 2 boys who at the end of the shoot, weren't very cooperative...but Amy was SO patient with them. I got our photos back in 2 weeks and she does such a good job of capturing the moments. Love Amy and want to continue to use her each holiday season!.”
