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.

“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!.”
