San Francisco

I had such a great time in San Francisco capturing some of the life that is now Lisa, Dave and Ramona’s to share! I lived in SF for a few years before moving to the East Bay back in the late 80’s early 90’s and I enjoyed being in some of my old neighborhoods.

We met at Baker Beach in San Francisco. It’s an awesome location in the city because it has a bit of everything…the beach, a view of part of the city, an old bunker for a bit of that urban style, and an awesome view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Throughout the session we worked our way down the beach, and managed to beat a night-time photography class to the far end…
