San Francisco Portrait Meet Recap: FiDi & SoMa in the Rain!

The next official San Francisco Portrait Meet is on June 3, 2016 at 7pm at Dolores Park. Photographers & models of all experience levels are welcome to join us in a collaborative night-portrait experience. Follow #SFPortraitMeet and @PortraitMeet on Instagram for more info!

Our last SF Portrait Meet was incredible (even with the pouring rain). We had a variety of cameras for both DSLR and mobile photography and it was nice being surrounded with like-minded creatives from around the Bay Area! 

The flagship Portrait Meet group in Boston had their own session and we were able to connect via video chat. Check out the video here by Can Ahtam. 

Here are some of our favorite shots from the San Francisco group. See you all on Friday, June 3 to do it again at night!

San Francisco Fitness Photography: Yoga in SoMA with Hafiza and Amrita

I am a frequent visitor to San Francisco's Public Open Spaces in SoMA and the Financial District. So when I saw this fountain... I had to come back on a weekend when most of the crowds are gone for the weekend. I was not the only photographer who showed up at this location - it's easy to see the attraction!

Models Hafiza, Amrita and I collaborated creatively on these set of photos. I wanted to create a series of images that evoked a sense of calm and beauty in a place that's as urban as it gets. 

I'm really happy with our results and would love to do more of this! Schedule your own portrait session like this... contact me. :)

Neha Tiwari Portrait Photography: San Francisco SoMA

I am so in love with these photos of Neha! She is lined up for some speaking events and it was time for an updated headshot. I met her in SoMA where she revealed an alley that had so much character. After assessing the decor, we chose several backgrounds that gave the appearance of doing a big tour, but we really only walked a block or two. We are efficient! 

Neha is currently an Executive Producer at CBS Interactive Games making awesome content for GameSpot. We worked together waaaaay back in the day at Revision3 and have been friends ever since -- the kind of friend you want to wear pajamas with while eating Taco Bell or sushi (or both simultaneously).

Thanks Neha for choosing me to capture your beautiful face. :) Here are our photos! 

If you'd like to schedule your very own portrait session, send me a message here or email stephanie@marilee.co. I work within a variety of budgets and most of all, I love what I do. :)
