A moment in time frozen forever – a photograph is something that anyone can appreciate. Before HG Wells wrote an anachronous masterpiece of science fiction called The Time Machine, people had been wondering about the same idea for centuries. To many, it seems improbable that we will ever invent something that takes us back to an alternate reality of a previous day or century. But, had anyone mentioned a few centuries ago that we could have photographs of anyone or any event, they would have laughed! Once anyone has understood the basics of photography, nothing can hold them back from exploring this superlative hobby with a bright future and opportunities to flaunt their talent via social media.
The quality of a photograph is dependent on many things, and because of cutting-edge software, professionals can negate red eyes or add a blurred background without any training. The most important part of a photograph apart from the model is the quality of light and printing it on high-quality photo paper, if required in today’s always-connected world. Any professional knows what is required for timeless family photography in Santa Rosa. It’s often a big challenge getting the family together for this event, so people like to ensure they have hired skilled hands and an expert eye for the job.
Most C-level executives know time is priceless, and requesting an appointment for your company’s publication should deliver an outstanding output. For business portrait photography in San Rafael, CA, select a professional photographer who can deliver! Your senior executive should find a comfort level with the pro and be willing to take their advice on dressing and how much to tilt their chin up or down. The entire frame should look magnificent and share a truthful version of the person’s image at that point in time.
Family photography can be challenging because of “eyes-shut” or one person in the frame with an inappropriate expression. To a great extent, it’s in the photographer’s hands to synchronize everyone and keep them comfortable in front of the lens. Thanks to modern technology, they can take several photographs in a few seconds and deliver a family photograph in Santa Rosa fit to be framed in silver.

I was contacted by Emmanuel Turin, the marketing and motorsports manager at Ferrari of San Francisco, to photograph the staff. We got it done in one day! Everyone was very pleasant and easy to work with. I asked if we could do a trade for a Ferrari. They didn’t take me up on my offer. :) Thank you Mark Paddack for your assistance and for gathering the team!
I was asked by my friend Jess Shay if I was interested in photographing the graduating class of 2020 at Tam High School with their family’s and I jumped at the opportunity! It warmed my heart to see the proud families from all different types of ethnic backgrounds and religions come together for this historic moment. We are all doing our best to show our support and pride to the graduating classes of 2020 under the circumstances of COVID 19. Like so many other schools across the country, Tam had to alter their graduation ceremony but was still able to make it very special. After the graduates received their diplomas they were told to meet in front of the school for photography. There were 416 graduates and I took multiple frames with different combinations of families plus the graduates by themselves. I shot about 500 frames on the first day and around 900 each of the following two days. I have experience shooting high volume photography and understand how important it is to direct and position for groups, be personal, but also be efficient. Thank you Anne Elisco-Lemme for all your help with the banner, flowers, and making sure the days ran smoothly. Congratulations to all of the 2020 graduates! I have posted a handful of my favorites to share with you! Just look at all of those beautiful smiling faces!
Sincerely,
Jason
The COVID 19 virus pandemic has hopefully helped us to reevaluate how we move forward as individuals and as a country. How do we better this country for our children and the generations that follow? How do we learn from our mistakes? I am a lifestyle and portrait photographer. I am not a journalist or a news photographer. I did however want to contribute and document in my own way, during these historic and challenging times. I wanted to give back to my Marin community by offering complimentary SIP portraits to my neighbors and friends. It was beautiful to see families together. Connecting and appreciating each other maybe now more than ever. I don’t usually create b/w images but for this series, the time felt right to have a combination of both color and b/w. If you would like to participate in this ongoing series please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jason Todd
Owner of SF Portraits
Thanks to the families that have hired me recently. Here are a few of my favorite images from the sessions.
Briana and Matt are such a fun and unique couple with their own personality and flare! When I arrived Briana and her brides’ maids welcomed me with open arms and champagne! Briana and Matt have a very passionate and loving relationship. They were either hugging or kissing during most of the wedding which I found very endearing. Congratulations Briana and Matt! I wish you all the best!
The moment I met Jenny and Cormac I knew they were meant for each other. We did a walk through St. Vincent’s before the wedding which allowed us to connect. They both have a passion for literature and Jenny holds a special place in her heart for Harry Potter. Congratulations Jenny and Cormac.
