Classic documentary family photo chaos with Lesley, Pos, and Desi at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Pos had a lifelong dream of making a human pyramid of at least three people, which we successfully created and captured, almost giving me a heart attack in the process (I rolled over in fear-exhaustion after and am pretty sure I still have sand in my hair). Lesley and Pos are my dear friends, and I’ve had the opportunity to shoot their family three years in a row, as Desi has gotten bigger, which is always so special and fun.

I love shooting families in a documentary style because it really creates a snapshot of how your family was at this moment in time—which will be so special to look back on ten years from now. Chaos included. If this style calls to you I’d love to capture your family, you can reach out here to chat more!
